2000: Gore elected instead of Bush

[Spark]

Let's say the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of Gore. Explain the effects on the course of history that would have been drastically changed such as Iraq War, recession, R win in 2008 and 2012, etc.

The Blue Dogs and the Southern wing of the party don't completely collapse.

If Gore loses in 2004, a Howard Dean/Harold Ford, Jr., ticket seems likely in 2008.

[Mr. Reactionary]

The skies would open up and God would say "Good. Democrats are always right and electing one always ensures that all Earthly problems will cease. The only reason problems continue to exist on Earth is because Democrats do not control everything. As my chosen prophet Al Gore is now President, Al Qaeda will no longer target us like they did under Republican President Clinton. There will be no more increase in pollution like under Republican President Clinton. There would be no partisanship like under Republican President Clinton. The economic bubble which burst prior to the 2000 election would magically unburst. The constitution would magically amend itself to get rid of those Satanic 1st and 2nd Amendments. And somehow we would have both a big increase in spending on Democrat priorities while maintaining a balanced budget because Democrats are always right. If a Democrat is elected only things you like will happen, but if you elect a Republican only things you dislike will happen. So speaks Democrat hack God."
