Former Vice President Al Gore has donated $6 million to help the presidential campaign of John Kerry, saying the money is to fight what he calls "outrageous and misleading" Republican attacks.

1. Dunno 'bout this

Mr. Gore is barred by law from giving the money directly to the Kerry campaign so he plans to give $4 million to the Democratic National Committee and $1 million each to the party's House and Senate

Giving all that money to the DNC may not be such a good idea. Some of that money would be better spent on MoveOn, TakeBackTheMedia, and others who either have ads on TV or are trying to get some.

Not everyone watches Hardball or Meet the Press, and Bush's ads still keep popping up all over the airwaves. That's why ads are so important, and the Kerry campaign's been slacking off a bit.

2. If Al wants it devoted to the presidential campaign...

I'm sure it will be.

4. Kerry's strategy seems to be sound

Kerry's not taking a hit from these ads at all.

Bush is shooting his wad prematurely... soon, we'll all be pointing and laughing at the poor boy.
