Al Gore in Florida. Arnold Schwarzenegger in Ohio. Those are the heroes who can help their party to be victorious. Of course Al Gore, as no other, can explain why "every vote counts" while Schwarzenegger warned for "European politics" in case Obama wins.

According the governor of California, he realized that socialism is a bad idea. According to him "it kills possibilities." That is why he left Europe at an early age.

In the meantime Al Gore is supporting the most important goal of Obama, to get people to vote. Although the Democrat is ahead in the polls. the people have to actually go out and vote.

And nobody understands better then Al Gore how important that is. He lost the elections in 2000 to George Bush by 500 votes. So every vote counts according the Democrat.

Barack Obama is just ahead in Florida and a bit more in Ohio. On the November 4 we will know if he retained his lead in the polls.


Al Gore in Florida, Arnold Schwarzenegger in Ohio. Dat zijn de helden die hun partijgenoten naar een overwinning moeten helpen. Als geen ander kon Gore natuurlijk vertellen waarom "iedere stem telt", terwijl Schwarzenegger waarschuwde voor een "Europese politiek" wanneer Obama het voor het zeggen krijgt.

Volgens de Californische gouverneur leert Europa momenteel ook van z'n fouten, en realiseren veel Europese landen nu dat socialisme een slecht idee is.

Volgens hem "vermoord het mogelijkheden", vandaar dat hij al vroeg naar de VS vertrok;

Al Gore ondersteunde ondertussen het belangrijkste doel van Obama op dit moment; mensen naar de stembureaus krijgen. De Democraat mag dan voor staan in de peilingen, al deze mensen moeten wel hun stem gaan uitbrengen.

En dat dit belangrijk is weet Gore als geen ander, hij verloor in 2000 de verkiezingen van George Bush door in Florida 500 stemmen minder te ontvangen. Iedere stem telt dus volgens de Democraat;
Barack Obama staat momenteel nipt voor in Florida, en iets ruimer in Ohio. Op vier november weten we of hij dit vast weet te houden.
