Another Sign Gore Isn't Running? Key New Hampshire Backer Boosts Obama
By Eric Kleefeld | bio

Here's another sign that suggests Al Gore may have decided to sit out the Presidential race: One of his longtime supporters has just given a campaign check to another Presidential candidate — apparently with the tacit approval of Gore himself.

The Boston Globe reports reports that Debby Butler, a key Gore backer from New Hampshire and a longtime activist in the state, has sent a check for $1,000 to Barack Obama. The kicker is that according to the Globe, Butler even got in touch with Gore's office and double-checked to see if he would be okay with her making donations to other candidates. The answer, obviously, was Yes.

8. Give money to Obama

so HRC won't look like such a shoo-in. I don't think Gore, if he runs will have any trouble raising money.
