When I read this yesterday at The Anonymous Liberal blog, my brain exploded. Wow! What a great thought!

"If ever there was a time when an key endorsement could make a difference in a presidential race, its now. My sense is that Obama just needs a little bit of a bump to pull even with Clinton in the Super Tuesday contests. And theres one major endorsement still out there. Al Gore. Gore is the one person who is respected enough in Democratic circles to tip the scale in one direction or the other. If he endorsed Obama this week, it just might make the difference."

Move over James Carville and Paul Begala. This is how to Take It Back.

We start with Kennedy familys bold endorsement. Their political courage has energized my support for Obama, and quite frankly lifted my sagging spirits and renewed my hope, as the cold reality is that the odds greatly favor Hillary Clinton winning the nomination.

Im so encouraged by the Kenndy endorsement that when the inevitable email came from Teddy asking for a contribution to the Obama campaign, I stepped up.

And I dont believe in donating money for one Democrat to use to bash another. Call me old fashioned, but I like to see all of my hard-earned cash to go to trashing and defeating Republicans. But this is different we cannot have Hillary Clinton (and Bill) heading up the ticket this November. So nows the time to do whatever we can do to see that Obamas our candidate.

The next step? What could possibly have a greater impact than Al Gore coming out for Barack Obama?

A lot of people spent a great deal of time and energy trying to convince Gore to run for President. Can we get them to resurrect their campaign, but change its focus to getting Mr. Gore to endorse Obamas candidcacy? We dont have much time. Thats why I wrote this piece today. We need to publicize this idea and see if we cant help make it happen. Bloggers, lets go! Can someone post contact information for an email campaign?

Can we get Al Gore to endorse Barack Obama? I dont know. But dreaming about what is possible is part of what the Obama campaign is all about.
