There he is! Al Gore update


A couple days ago I published a post asking where was Al Gore this campaign cycle. nka and BillBela pointed out that he is doing a lot of down-ticket campaigning this cycle, and olepossom mentioned that he was helping raise money.

Jonathan Martin at Politico now reports that Gore will be hosting a webcast tonight among 200 gatherings across the country to discuss energy and the environment. While is not billed as a "fundraiser" in the strict sense, attendees will be encouraged to donate to the Obama campaign.
