Barack Obama had former President Bill Clinton campaigning for him this week and now we hear that former VP Al Gore will finish out the week for Obama in Florida.
Having Bill Clinton and Al Gore come out AFTER Obama has more than PROVEN that he CAN WIN without them; but would love their support anyway ---- is a VERY SMART MOVE by Barack Obama!
Yes he’s had Hillary Clinton out there; but almost every Presidential candidate will have their primary opponents’ campaign for them (McCain has Romney, Huckabee and Giuliani), and they most certainly help a great deal. But Obama did not have Bill and Al out there pushing for votes for him since June. By not doing so, he’s been able to prove that it was his own message that resonated with the voters not previous leaders.
Asking Bill and Al to join him in finishing this campaign, is not only giving them the respect they deserve, it also gives Obama a last minute ‘nudge’ or 'finishing touch' if you will, for any undecided voters.
Barack Obama sir, you have run an amazing campaign. I congratulate you all!
