More News from NewsMax: Clinton Says Gore May Enter the Race, McCain's Anti-Romney e-mail

I know I need to write more about Mike Huckabee. But I thought I would quickly direct you to some more NewsMax stories. These are good.

  • Bill Clinton: Al Gore Will Enter Race

    Hillary Clinton may be the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, but her husband Bill thinks she’ll likely face stiff competition from a yet unannounced source – Al Gore.
    Bill was at a get-together at the apartment of Air America’s new chief Mark Green when political blogger Andy Ostroy asked the former president if he believes Gore is going to run, according to the New York Post’s Page Six column.
    "Someone’s got to fizzle,” Clinton answered. "If someone fizzles, then yeah, he could enter the race. He’s got plenty of money, his own money, to do it.”
    Ostroy predicts that it will be Barack Obama who fizzles by September, and "Gore will toss his hat into the ring and enlist the junior senator from Illinois as his running mate. An unbeatable ticket.”
    Pulitzer Prize-winner Jeff Gerth and his co-author Don Van Natta Jr. also report that Bill Clinton believes that Gore will eventually join the race in their new Hillary Clinton biography, "Her Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton.” [Editor's Note: Get "Her Way" with our FREE offer -- Click

  • McCain Slams Romney in E-mail Attack
  • Republican John McCain's campaign criticized rival Mitt Romney's abortion record anew Wednesday, circulating a video showing the then-Massachusetts governor reiterating his vow to uphold the state's abortion-rights laws.
    "I have indicated that as governor, I am absolutely committed to my promise to maintain the status quo with regards to laws relating to abortion and choice, and so far I've been able to successfully do that," Romney says, answering a question at a May 27, 2005, news conference the day he vetoed the state's stem cell legislation.
    He adds: "My personal, philosophical views about this issue are not something that I think would do anything other than distract from what I think is a more critical agenda" that includes jobs, education and health care.
    As a GOP governor of a liberal state, Romney repeatedly vowed not to change state abortion laws. He supported abortion rights as recently as two-and-a-half years ago, even though he insists he has always personally opposed the practice.
