Who are the candidates? Still Gore vs. Bush vs. Nader vs. Buchanan? Also, what does Gore do differently in office (in 1999 and 2000)?

Removed from office: the backlash elects Gore
Resigned: who knows

Yes.
Bush wins bigger, with no controversy in Florida, though electoral count remains the same.

Gore wins FL, NH, OH, and NV in addition to all the states he won in RL. The reason for this is that Americans would be unwilling to vote out an incumbent President while the country had a good economy and no foreign wars.

How was the economy under Ford (serious question)?

Kinda bad, actually. Unemployment was stagnating near 8% for most of 1976. Inflation was kinda-high at 5% (even though it was reduced between 1974 and 1976). In contrast, unemployment was below 4% in November 2000 and inflation was also low.

As a side note, Ford angered a lot of people by pardoning Nixon. What would Gore have done to anger people that much? Clinton wasn't going to go to jail even if he would have been removed from office.

I agree with Roch that the backlash against the GOP witch hunt would have helped Gore win reelection. Let's remember that Clinton was incredibly popular during the impeachment trial.

I think it's unlikely for NE-02 and TN to go Democratic before NH, just based on the margins in 2000 in RL.
