Al Gore Endorses Bob Tuke

By Kleinheider Posted on August 18, 2008 at 11:28 am

From the press release:

“I am pleased to endorse my friend, Bob Tuke, to be the next U.S. Senator from my home state of Tennessee. Bob’s plans to immediately and aggressively produce alternative energy in Tennessee will help solve the climate crisis, clean our air, create new jobs, and relieve the heavy burden of energy prices across America. But Bob is more than a candidate with timely solutions to pressing problems facing our nation and our planet. He is also a man of great honor and integrity. Bob has the life experience that we need to turn our country around. As a Marine combat veteran in Vietnam, Bob led troops in battle. The U.S. Senate would be well served to have his perspective as we finally bring an end to the mismanaged war in Iraq. These are just a few of the reasons that I am proud to give him my full support and endorsement.”

Old Vandy Law chums, Tuke campaigned with the “Gore Corps” in New Hampshire in 1988 as well as the Former Vice President Gore’s 2000 presidential bid .

    This is supposed to be a “big time” endorsement? A guy who can’t carry his own state in his run for presidency (not to mention all of his hypocracy), endorses a low grade senate candidate. If Bob Tuke wanted to help his candidacy he would hold a press conference rejecting Al’s endorsement.

    This race is becoming more laughable every single day.
