Actually the Watergate was the name of the hotel where the Convention and the Democratic HQ were located.

Actually so, of course. The scandal was indeed named after the hotel complex where the break-in occurred. When people think of Watergate, they decidedly do not associate it with the hotel complex, however, but rather the political scandal/ actions.. Additionally, the question regards addressing the scandal, rather than the geographics.
