Good ol' 4 years early polls.
Cuomo '92! Gore '04! President-elect George Allen!
Gore wins in 2004 without 9/11
Which means about as much as saying, "Bush wins in a landslide in 2000 without California, New York and Illinois in the Union."
no... obviously in the early polls that had Gore ahead, nobody knew 9/11 would happen, especially not Gore himself. I am sure that he 100% intended to run again until 9/11 changed the landscape.
The early polls? They were taken when...in May 2001? Yeah, that means a lot.
Again, it's a moot point. 9/11
did happen and it happened early in Bush's term so arguing that Gore would have won without it happening is pointless.
