Gore Sr. wasn't much of a suppoter of Civil Rights, his and his son's assertions to the contrary. He didn't vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

As I recall Gore Sr. helped filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 64.

[edit] Chinese?

Why the Chinese version of his name? 64.122.95.110 19:33, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Sasser served as US ambassador to China at one point, so I guess it's in line with that.

[edit] NPOV

I came here to learn the background of this gentleman, and find the following line in second para:

"Hooker, of course, has since become a somewhat laughable perennial candidate and gadfly (social). "

Says who? I've deleted this line as it is presumptive and hardly NPOV, and so I flagged this whole artice as NPOV. I cannot read this article without questioning almost every statement, but I don't have the knowledge to fix it.

More examples in question:

The phrase "his (intermittent) wealth" is not cited or explained.

"At this time, Sasser seemed to be one of the Democratic party's brighter Senate stars," says who? Again this is not NPOV.

"Another factor in Frist's favor was that Sasser was never seen as possessing much charisma of his own." Please!

This whole article really needs an NPOV makeover!
