He did not try to avoid saying Clinton's name, the way these candidates tried to avoid saying Obama's, but he did not want Clinton doing a lot of campaigning for him. Thing is, Gore could not possibly disassociate himself from Clinton, the man he ran with twice was VP to for 8 years. Poor Clay Aiken couldn't disassociate himself with Obama and Aiken never voted for one Obama initiative. Or anyone's initiative.
