2000 was interesting, there was virtually no age gap anywhere. 18-29 only went Dem by a couple of points, 60+ by four points, the rest went Republican by a point. I wonder why? (Nader probably exaggerated it a little).Gore was tainted by the Lewinsky affair because he defended Clinton and Bush was seen as a humble, compassionate conservative who would restore morality to the White House. Also there were no pressing issues at the time except what to do with the federal budget surplus (Bush promised tax cuts). The reason the election was so tight is probably because it was so boring and uninspiring.
