<DIV>Scott,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Your own report stated that only 45% of the people would miss him. That was his personal approval rating. His personal job performance was higher, but that doesn't translate to help Al Gore. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Further, most of the 45% approval was from states that Gore didn't need help with. Florida, Missouri, Iowa, and Ohio, was where Gore needed help, Clinton was not a favorite character in those areas. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Clinton is popular in Democratic states, NOT Republican and moderate ones. That is part of the reason why Obama is sweeping states like Idaho, because people in Red states dislike him.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Using Clinton didn't help Hillary with Democratic votes, it sure wouldn't have helped Gore either with moderates and independent. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Let's not forget, Al Gore has received more votes for President than anyone else in the history of presidential
elections. He didn't lose, he won, it was just stolen from him because of political machinery.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best Regards,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan Arnold</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR><BR><B><I>Scott Dredge <sdredge@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Donavan,<BR><BR>Can you do just an inkling of fact checking before you post?
