In his first appearance in a nationally televised candidates forum, Gore was asked to name a past US president from whom he drew personal inspiration. He replied that he especially admired another ‘dark horse’ candidate, and a product of his home state, the great ‘president James Knox’. The only problem is that the history books show that nobody named Knox ever occupied the White House. He most likely meant James Knox Polk. Al Gore
