Today was the big environmentalist love feast in Michigan, so Barack Obama could receive Al Gore's blessing in his camapign for the presidency. Gore has been nominally neutral to this point, although his disdain for the Clintons is well known, so his endorsement of Obama comes as a big yawm to objective observers.
This hasn't stopped the liberal mass media from fawning over Obama like he'd just heard from heaven. The truth is, the world is starting to catch on to Al Gore, who refuses to appear in public with, or debate, anyone who questions his scientifically-dubious global warming dogma. As the earth cools, and it becomes more evident everyday that the earth decides what it will do, not man, Gore's credibility sinks.
In truth, Obama is in bad shape in Michigan, and this is the second big media hoorah he's thrown there in recent weeks, to try and turn things around. He pulled his name off the Democratic primary ballot there and Hillary Clinton won the primary by default. She ran especially strong among older women and the blue collar white males there, making Michigan one of the major swing states, along with Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New Hampshire, where McCain is running strong.
If there is any common sense--which is very uncommon, actually--in Michigan, among the unemployed auto workers and closed rust belt auto parts and auto factories, it is that Al Gore and his hoax is responsible for their plight. Gore should be the least popular man in Michigan, and a major Obama faux pas to announce his endorsement there.
Of course, the media uncritically swallows all the hype, and doesn't breath a word of the truth, so Obama and Gore will probably get away with their little charade.
But they may not get away with it in November, and if McCain carries Michigan, it might seal Obama's doom.
