While it was not the beginning of the realignment, I would say it was the culmination of it. Look how badly Gore lost Southern states like Georgia and North Carolina. This was the year when the rural voters left and left for good. Dems started making up those votes, though, with big gains in the suburbs... which left us with the current voting habits:
City + suburbs = Democratic
Exurbs + rural = Republican
...and this largely with few exceptions.
