What if Gore Won?

Lets say Al Gore won Florida and squeaked out a win in the election.  Who would the Republicans be running right now?  Would gore be popular?  What would be different?

I think Frist would be the republican frontrunner.

Gore would not be as popular right now because he wouldn't have attacked Iraq.

It depends on exactly how things had played out in Florida, I remember hearing during the recount that several prominent Republicans were saying that even if he loses, Bush would probably run again and be nominated in 2004 since he had run such a good race against long odds, especially if he had lost on the recount since the GOP would have been motivated to choose Bush again under the "we was robbed" argument.

I was saying if Gore won Florida without all the recount hubbub.

I believe the Florida rule is if the election is within 2000 votes, so if Gore won by 2001 votes, no recount necessary.

And good points I completely forgot about the ressesion which in my opinion started in the last year of the Clinton administration(Believe me I own stocks and mine started falling before Bush took office)

Stocks started to fall because of the posibility of a Bush presidency, which killed the economy 8 years before.

Thanks for the clarification, Angus.

Giuliani or McCain.

Why do you think the GOP would have nominated a moderate?
