Incumbent Bush:
Incumbent Gore:
Gore wouldn't have done great in 2004 regardless as to whether or not he had been elected in 2000. Had he been running as the challenger, he would have to have made up an excuse for turning into a one issue environmentalist...and would have spent more time revamping his image rather than winning people over. If he were to be president during 9/11, there is a good chance that he would not have taken military action. Some say this is a positive...but keep in mind how popular the decision was when Bush made it. He would be painted as weak and would lose to Bush's "tough on terror" campaign.
