Excerpt
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Jennifer Aniston, Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy were just some of Hollywood’s hottest celebrities who forked over campaign dollars at a fundraiser for Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record).
Presidential candidates have long been attracted to California by the prospect of high dollars and the opportunity to bask in Hollywood glamor. Now there is also another lure for 2008 candidates like Obama — the prospect the state may move up its primary, creating a treasure trove of delegates to be won in the early run-up to the nominations.
Lawmakers and Schwarzenegger are poised to move the state’s primary to Feb. 5 from June.
The level of presidential activity in the state is unusually intense, with roughly a year to go before votes are cast.
H.L.s Take:
And they could be getting even stronger. I am hearing rumours that Al Gore may declare his candidacy from the podium this Sunday night while he is recieving his Oscar for his film An Inconveinient Truth. That would really shake up Hollywood, Gore will berubbing elbows with every bigwig in town at the after parties. If Gore runs he can win, (I mean he already has won, hasn’t he?)
so long as he learns his lessons from his last campaign and fights this time against the lying republicans. The nation is just now starting to come to grips with our biggest problem. Global Warming, which Al has been studying, and advocating against for years.

I would actually vote for Gore if he would seperate himself from the donothingcrate party.
If he would come forward as an independent with his own ideas.
If he just rehashes all this donothingcrate bs he will go nowhere.

Gore is as honest as his facts on global warming. And his facts on global warming are real honest thats why his number one guy quit.
