Gore is going to Iowa.
Gore is going to Iowa.

(CNN) – Former Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore is heading back to Iowa next month - the crucial early-voting state that has launched, and short-circuited, countless politicians' White House ambitions.

The former vice president is slated to headline the Iowa Democratic Party's annual Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner in Des Moines - a major fundraising event that perennially attracts the party's biggest stars, the state party said Tuesday. Barack Obama's rousing speech at the event last year was widely credited with catapulting the Illinois senator to victory in the state’s caucuses two months later.

The Obama campaign has made Iowa, a state that narrowly voted for President Bush in 2004, a major target this election. A recent CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corporation poll showed Obama holds a double-digit advantage there.

Yo Songbird!

Why not try educating yourself on what socialists are? You may be surprised to learn that the American Bolshevik, I mean Democrat Party, matches up very nicely with socialists, communists and other failed systems.

The problem with Democrat supporters is that they have been dumbed down for 40 years. But they are happy about it because people like 0bama applaud them to their faces. But behind their backs, he mocks their deficient intellects.

Clue: Tax the rich! Feed the poor! 'Til there are no rich no more!

Dear Iowa , thank you , for caring about the Nation , and the rest of the free world. Barack Obama represents a new era for more than Americans, his candidacy has seen incredible attacks by the POWERs that BE. Racism , unfortunately , has again reared it's ugly head. The great people of Iowa , have vision , logic , and the ability to see through the smokescreen, to believe in this unlikely candidate . Senator Obama has put his life on the line to try to serve his country. He has faced the most heinous attacks, personal , professional , and has withstood them. He and his family have endured death threats , he is a better man than I Gunga Din ! All the garbage you hear about him , is just that! He has run a great campaign , a civil one, for the most part . How can anyone even consider voting for McCain and this totally unqualified runningmate. No one even knows what she believes in ! I think I'll go get drunk , and shoot a few caribou!!!!

Gore go take care of Global warming. That is one thing you demo's no about. You are correct on that issue.

Al Gore will pave the way...with him in your corner, how can you lose?
That is a convenient truth! Thanks Al!! OBAMA/BIDEN

Linda   September 9th, 2008 8:39 pm ET

Looks like he can't rely on his party nominee to do the right thing on the environment and has the Republican nominee crediting Mr. Gore for his work and said "if Al Gore said we can do it, I believe we can."

Obama's pushing one of the dirtist energy policies. Now that he succumbed to his last possible flip adding to his Nuclear power, Coal, Gas, Oil, Renewable sources, he now added OFF SHORE DRILLING in addition to being the only one who was promoting and pushing a Liquid Coal Bill, using tax dollars, that would increase polllution so much it would be like replacing every car with a HUMMER.

I bet Obama makes Al sorry for standing up for the party and endorsing his butt, instead of staying neutral "because Global Warming doesn't have a political party" as he previously stated.

ZANE Cin. OHIO   September 9th, 2008 8:30 pm ET

McCain lost all honor I had for him when he approved some of the most discusting television ads in history. I had no idea he was so into sex and filth> Sorry John, vet or not, you lost my support today.

No Hillary = No Obama   September 9th, 2008 8:26 pm ET

I hope Obama loses in November – I find him so full of himself and so superficial I can't imagine someone like him dealing with pressures, stresses and burdens of the White House – he's in it for the power and glory. Everytime they show him campaigning and flapping his lips – it goes on mute or the channel gets changed.

Renita   September 9th, 2008 8:23 pm ET

I think it is so sad that we as American have so much ugly to say about these to men. I would like to know what have some of you done for this country it sounds like nothing. I would love to hear about the country and were are we going as a country together. We have people loosing there jobs, people dieing because they have no health Ins, people not knowing were there next meal will come from. the war. our young men and women dieing for what. I have a son just returning from the war and now they are telling him that he now has to go to a other war. I see everyday VETERANS come in and they tell them that they will receive free health care for 5yrs but Only if something happen to them in war, if nothing happen to them they need to pay a co-pay for there visit and meds and you have those VETERAN that was in the 3 war before are having there benefits taken from them. I am a VETERAN and so is my husband and my son. Why you all are so happy for Ms Plain I would like to know what is McCain/Plain and Obama going to do for the VETERANS who put there like on the line. I do not want a other Bush. Ms Plain has made a name for herself but I have not heard anything about what she and McCain are going to do for you are me. I need someone just up talk and saying nothing. All I have heard from those to is about Obama. What about the issues,what about our schools, most of you do not even have enough to make it on. We need to hear what they that mean all 4 waht are they really going to do about out country.

SONGBIRD MCCAIN   September 9th, 2008 8:23 pm ET

Democrats are not Socialists you idiots!

This country would be 1000 times better off if the Supreme Court had not selected the brain dead jerk in there now!

The only reason this contest is close is because most American are dumb and gullible.

There is no logical way to justify 70% believing that we are heading in the wrong direction. Yet 50% want to continue to implement the same policies because some politician tells them that it will be different this time.

Let me dumb it down for you.

America is Charlie Brown. The GOP is Lucy holding the football.
C'mon Charlie, this time I won't make an @ss of you!

Idiots!

Phil Newton from Murphy, Oregon   September 9th, 2008 8:22 pm ET

Al Gore!

The Democratic Party has the answers to the problems posed by the GOP.

Al Gore is one of those able to come up with these answers.

obama'S arrogance will lose the election like gore, for ignoring the countrys treasures of the CLINTONS. Our family has been Democrat for twenty years, but we are voting for McCain, this is not racially motivated, but who has the most experience and puts this country first. Thanks to oprah , caroline (sad excuse for a )kennedy, & johh f (thank the world he is not a Heinz) kerry, are scared of a strong woman , Hillary Clinton ,who should have been th nomination or the vp. Now the Democrats will lose the WHITE HOUSE. DEMS FOR MCCAIN NOT CAUSE OF HILLARY BECAUSE obama'S ARROGANCE

Independentandlovingit   September 9th, 2008 8:07 pm ET

Back to reality. Of the 50 states, Alaska ranks No. 1 in taxes per resident and No. 1 in spending per resident. Its tax burden per resident is 2 1/2 times the national average; its spending, more than double. The trick is that Alaska's government spends money on its own citizens and taxes the rest of us to pay for it. Although Palin, like McCain, talks about liberating ourselves from dependence on foreign oil, there is no evidence that being dependent on Alaskan oil would be any more pleasant to the pocketbook.

Alaska is, in essence, an adjunct member of OPEC. It has four different taxes on oil, which produce more than 89% of the state's unrestricted revenue. On average, three-quarters of the value of a barrel of oil is taken by the state government before that oil is permitted to leave the state. Alaska residents each get a yearly check for about $2,000 from oil revenues, plus an additional $1,200 pushed through by Palin last year to take advantage of rising oil prices. Any sympathy the governor of Alaska expresses for folks in the lower 48 who are suffering from high gas prices or can't afford to heat their homes is strictly crocodile tears.

As if it couldn't support itself, Alaska also ranks No. 1, year after year, in money it sucks in from Washington. In 2005 (the most recent figures), according to the Tax Foundation, Alaska ranked 18th in federal taxes paid per resident ($5,434) but first in federal spending received per resident ($13,950). Its ratio of federal spending received to federal taxes paid ranks third among the 50 states, and in the absolute amount it receives from Washington over and above the amount it sends to Washington, Alaska ranks No. 1.

Al Gore is a robot like the Obamabots. He wants the everyday people to be socialist while at the same time flauting his riches. Gore wants us to go back to caveman times while he flies in his private jets. This is not what we want for america. We are a free nation. People have faught and died for our freedom. Let not let socialism take our freedom away from us. McCain/Palin 08.

The Poll of Polls is garbage.

That's a poll of what? 5000 people? You wonder why there's a swing from one week to the next? It's not people changing their mind, it's the people that they're asking.

Don't believe the polls. GO OUT AND VOTE FOR BARACK/BIDEN. WE CAN'T SURVIVE another month of McStain and Pale-Face!

i AM JUST WAITING TO SEE IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO VOTE THIS TIME FO RTHIS THIS COUNTRY NEEDS SOMEONE WHO HAS GOOD WISDOM,GOOD JUDGEMENT AND A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT . VOTERS MISSED IT THE LAST 2 ELECTIONS . I HOPE NOT THIS TIME . NOT AGAIN.

Anonymous   September 9th, 2008 7:39 pm ET

The reason the head lines in UK and Europe wondered how could 'Americans be so stupid " is because there is a left leaning media over there too.

I have head those same things said by the media on this side of the pond. Why should anyone be surprised that the US is the only country in the would that has citizens that have people that are leftists and/or hate the USA.

European voters have started to elect conservatives and if Obama wins he will be leaning left while Europe is swinging back to the right.

Susan   September 9th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

I believe that Al Gore helping Senator Obama in his fund raising in Iowa is a positive thing. Obama needs help in his campaign about issues in alternative enery sources. Al Gore is an expert and he advoctes using different energy that will not have as much adverse effects on our environment. We need to try different energy such as natural gas and wind mill power also.

Susan from CT

fred   September 9th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

haha, now Gore is one oddball. He's for going green, but his house uses up more energy than anything. And according to my brother, who is a meterology major at Penn State, which is the nation's top weather/climate school, no meteorologists or climatologists actually buy into this global warming thing.

A noble peace prize winner supports Obama.
95% White Iowa votes for Obama.

95% Young vote for Obama
95% Latinos vote for Obama
95% Educated vote for Obama
95%Veterans vote for Obama
95%Business vote for Obama
95% First time voters vote for Obama
95% vote because his VP is better
So-therse 5%- that is not voting–Who are they? -They must be the ones that are satisfied with the status quo or are they the one that are bigots who don't want American to change or are these people who want a 3rd world war?

Why don't some of you go and read some of the articles in UK publications like the Daily Telegraph and see for yourselves what other countries DO think of this race and Obama. (and UK bloggers)

Careful B.H. Obama supporters your heads might explode when you see your world view isn't as sanitary, simple and pro Obama as you think.

Mrs. Texas Teacher   September 9th, 2008 7:13 pm ET

You go, Al Gore!

Every Dem had better get behind our candidate before the republicans win another election with out and out lies and false attacks. They know nothing but this BULL DOG politics. It's Bush and Cheney all over again. Only this time one of their bulldogs wears a skirt AND lipstick. Otherwise she is no different from the rest of the republican camp!

It seems so long ago that John Edwards beat Hillary Clinton in the Iowa primary, coming in second behind Barack Obama. He brought the plight of the poor in our country to the forfront until he was forced out of the race.

Sick & Tired of Nobama   September 9th, 2008 7:05 pm ET

Just because Hillary says to vote Obama does not make it so. There are many, many voters who are disallusioned by Mrs Clinton now that the primarys are over.
Besides, when she says he is the best man for the job we know she is lying. She should kick him to the curb before she goes down that black hole with him.

We Democrats will only have ourselves to blame if we lose this election. First, Howard Dean jacks Hillary around over Florida and Michigan, then Obama does his shuffle about Rev. Wright (remember him,) and winds up looking like a whimp, then Hillary gets beat up by the media and no one helps her, then Obama turns his back on Hillary and chooses to run with just another white guy, and now it's down to the wire, and McVain and his Ovary Cop running mate are making hay over how what change-makers they are. Messed up? You bet.

Obama should win Iowa without much problems. McCain has never even tried to win the state in the primary in both 2000 and 2008 because he has always opposed to the farm subsidy bills that are important for the Iowa voters.

KATHLEEN   September 9th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Gore cares. Don't knock Gore, just because the WarMongrols do NOT have time to listen about our health issues for ourChildren. THE Republicans only have time to talk about War and Earmarks, and
NO BIG GOVERNMENT. Which in essence means NO HELP for
Americans i.e you worked hard all of your life and paid into S.S just
to have the Republican Government ship your jobs overseas and
reform your entitlements.

Al you are not running for the office so stay out of the election this year. If you want to, why not visit Iraq and Afghanistan.

McCain is an honorable man and a man who will protect our country and our values.

I see Obama is not ready and even Joe Biden said that obama was not ready. Hillary said Obama lacks the experience for the job.

All you people who have negative comments about Al Gore and Senator Obama need to educate yourselves. I beleive what Al Gore wants for our environent is another way to produce an alterative energy. T. Boone Pickins does not advocate just "Off shore Drilling".
He is contributing a portion of his own money for Wind Power and Natural Gas which we are already using and we have reserves here that we can use. We're already doing off shore drilling in our own country, you bunch of dummies.... We need to use different
methods of energy production, to reduce the amount of damage to our environmet and polution in the air we all breathe.
I love the intelligent people in Iowa and that's not my home state.

It's awlful funny, that when McCain was campaigning alone,The rebublicans were saying Oh God! not McCain,but now that he has a Running mate that happens to be just as far out as him, the republicans are saying Yippee! McCain had 20 yrs to reform the party,Did he? of course not,and he doesn't plan to now,just another underminded plan to get your vote! If he does get in the white house.
all you republicans that aren't rich will be crying the blues, once again.
Jesus! he can't even compaign by himself,form fear palin will screw it up for him.
As far asGore! ,He'd eat mccain for lunch,It seems to me that the republicans are the bitter ones,Why else would they put out all kinds of lies,even about their own party. mcCain/Palin will be the republicans Bridge to nowhere!!

It's okay America "idiots" are people too! We must vote with our minds not our hearts and hopefully with a big prayer or two we can change the face of this nation to the world! Because McCain, to the rest of the world, is another GWB! For the idiots that think Obama is too liberal, conservatism must be balanced with liberalism! You can't cut domestic spending and expect Katrina victims, school children, single parents, homeless vets, pregnant women, aspiring students and all folks in general to pull them selves up by their own bootstraps!

Here's a thought for all you Pro-Lifers! Let's say that there isn't another abortion ever again on this entire planet! We've cut funding to DSHS, sent American jobs oversees, CPS is a joke and Daycare is more expensive that some folks mortgage.

He don't even believe in his own standards as long as it can get him elected.

Can anyone say the whole state wants to produce "ethanol"? Personally, I like the natural gas solution that TBoone Pickens is talking about.

What happens when all our corn goes to producing Ethanol? Don't we feed the world. Would there be a food shortage in the world? We are at 6 Billion people worldwide now. What happens when we hit 10 Billion people?

By the way, is Obama about to fall out of the sky and land on Al Gore?

I don't have all the answers, but I have a big feeling that we don't need to tie up our food supply.
