This just went up on TNR's blog by Jason Zengerle:
The DCCC just released the audio of a robo-call Al Gore has recorded for Francine Busby on the eve of tomorrow's special election in CA-50. Here's a partial text of what Gore has to say:
Gore's call to the district:
George Bush and the Congressional Republicans have taken us in the wrong direction. Big oil companies profit while Southern California families get hit very hard at the pump. What we don't need is another energy industry lobbyist in Congress. Francine Busby will fight to break the foreign oil stranglehold and make America energy independent by 2020. That's why I'm asking you to join me in sending a strong message to President Bush and the Congressional Republicans that we've had enough. I urge you to vote this Tuesday for Francine Busby for Congress.
Gore gets into the fray. I think he has the bug!
