Gore LEADING in New Hampshire

Yup, that's right. He hasn't spent a single dollar of his own money, he hasn't made a single campaign stop in the state, and he doesn't have as much as a intern knocking on doors. Yet despite all that, Al Gore is in first place in the latest poll for the Democratic nomination in the Granite State.

If there was ever a question as to who stands the best chance to stop Hillary from becoming the nominee, this poll should put those doubts to rest.

Without Gore in the race, Hillary wins by a comfortable 37-19-9-9 margin with Obama, Edwards, and Richardson coming in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th respectively. Enter the former Vice President and twenty-nine percent of Clinton supporters switch to Al's corner, putting him ahead of Hillary by a 32%-26% margin.

Here's an excerpt from the article:

Former Vice President Al Gore is New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's worst nightmare in the nation"s first primary, a new poll shows.

If Mr. Gore got into the 2008 presidential nomination contest, he would edge out Mrs. Clinton in New Hampshire 32 percent to 26 percent and defeat the rest of the Democratic contenders, says a 7NEWS-Suffolk University poll of likely voters.

"Gore is the only Democrat, including Hillary, who can instantly melt the field," said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, which conducted the survey.

Absent a Gore entry, Mrs. Clinton is the clear front-runner among declared Democratic candidates, with 37 percent, up from 28 percent in the same poll taken in March.

With more news today that Al is considering a bid - by canceling all of his speaking engagements for the next six months - it's incredibly important that everyone who wants to see him in the race get involved.

"I heard you - and I will not forget." Show him that you too haven't forgotten:

Honorable Al Gore
2100 West End Avenue
Suite 620
Nashville, TN 37203
