Even Barack stars need a band

New LCV ad in Oregon calls for enviro backup in the Senate 1

Muckraker: Grist on Politics

The League of Conservation Voters is running this ad in Oregon promoting both Barack Obama and Democratic Senate candidate Jeff Merkley, whom the group has also endorsed.

"How far would a rock star get without a band?" the ad asks. "Barack Obama will create new jobs and fight global warming, but he'll need some help from senators like Jeff Merkley."

Merkley is expected to get another enviro boost on Friday when Al Gore stops by Portland for a fundraising reception in support of his campaign.

Kate Sheppard is Grist’s political reporter.

    Don't sit back and leave it to ObamaI hope all the enthusiastic Obama supporters out there will remember that, when he's in office, we can't just sit back and leave him to clean up the mess all by himself.  We must stay active and engaged, supporting our leaders when they deserve it, and holding their feet to the fire when necessary.  And we must never forget-Barak Obama is only human.

    Let the jaguars return!
