Gore did run a bad campaign...in February, 1999
I was looking on the web for some polls of Clinton's approval rating split by party, when I came across some polls on Bush vs Gore in 1999. Here are the numbers:
| If Vice President Al Gore were the Democratic Party's candidate and Texas Governor George W. Bush were the Republican Party's candidate, who would you be more likely to vote for? |
| Date |

George W. Bush |

Curious story in the Dallas Morning News
A group that Texas Republican leaders created to register new voters is instead running attack ad against the Texas Democrat candidate for Senator, Ron Kirk, says the DMN. Texas Victory 2002 has run 2 radio attack ads and 2 TV attack ads. Why use a group created for a noble purpose for a base one? Does the Texas Republican party need to raid its funds? Or do the Republicans don't want negative ads associated with the Republican Senate candidate so they are using a fake front group?
