WASHINGTON - Al Gore (news - web sites), dipping into his 2000 campaign warchest, said Wednesday he will donate more than $6 million to five Democratic Party groups and help presumptive nominee John Kerry (news - web sites) fight the "outrageous and misleading" Republican campaign.


The former vice president pledged to donate $4 million to the Democratic National Committee (news - web sites). The party's Senate and House committees would each get $1 million, and the party from Gore's home state of Tennessee would receive $250,000.


The Democratic Party in Florida, site of the divisive 2000 recount, would get $240,000 from a separate Gore campaign account.

Gore, who favored Howard Dean (news - web sites) over Kerry in the Democratic nomination fight, met privately with the presumptive nominee Tuesday at a Cleveland hotel.

Most of the money comes from Gore's general election legal and accounting compliance fund, which showed $6.6 million on March 31. The $240,000 going to the Florida Democratic Party comes from an account established to help pay for the 2000 recount drive.
