Reply #128: Whether Gore choose to run or not, your comment was wrong [View All]

[karynnj]

and mine correct. You said:

"Besides, President Gore is the only one with the proven ability to fundraise on a mammoth scale that would dwarf Hillary should he choose to run and he has name recognition at triple digits"

Kerry raised far more money than Gore - both were the party's nominees. That is ALL I said. Where did I say Gore is running? - he has consistently said that he is not currently planning to - leaving only the most convoluted parsing to think that he is. You had a fact wrong - I doubt you can point to anything I said as an incorrect fact.

I only said 2 things: Kerry has been the best fundraiser of money for other candidates in 2006 AND Kerry (in 2004) raised more money than Gore (in 2000). I included the 2006 information because a fair counter would be that Kerry raised the money as the Democratic nominee - but the same is true for Gore. Which of these is wrong.

By the way, you are wrong on something else - Gore does not have "triple digit" name recognition - NO ONE does. That would mean that absolutely everyone in the universe you are refering to recognizes his name. Even if name recognition APPROACHED 100%, it almost certainly is not 100%.
