If Gore had won Florida, who would be President today?

Gore narrowly wins in 04
Tea Party rises by 05
Pence becomes speaker in 06
Ron Paul/Sarah Palin or Mike Huckabee/Mitchell Daniels  wins 08 election

How old were you in 05?

Because there was no cause for the TP that early....

No war + No tax code changes = No deficit = No Tea Party?

Instead the 90s anti-Clinton militias probably would've just continued under Gore and shot up the place.

I beg to differ. High taxes+police state enviromentalist laws precipitating gas prices in line with Europe+9/11+worse failure in Afganistan+mandated socialized medicine= Tea Party in 05 with a full Conservative/Libertarian alliance

Hard to imagine a fourth straight term of one party's rule, so Gore would probably lose in 2004. That means, with an economic crisis still coming, some Democrat in 2008.

Uh not so much. It would follow the Reagan, HW Bush, Clinton pattern. That Republican would get two terms because him and the GOP led congress would tighten the loose spending Gore would do for his enviro agenda. Remember the auto bailouts were opposed by almost everybody outside of the tells of power.
