A Gore-y Election - an alternate TL from the 2000s onward

Rough sketch:

  • Gore gets elected president
  • Karl Rove stays in Texas and doesn't lay a finger on Alabama
  • Alabama's popular governor, Don Siegelman, is re-elected with a bigger margin than OTL, where he loses re-election to Bob Riley
  • Siegelman runs for Senate in 2006 while being termed out
  • In 2008, less than 2 years into his term, he runs for President to succeed Gore, who was re-elected in 2004.

Thoughts?
 
Even if hate republicans, unless a lot of butterflies i think hard to another dem win in 2008, the last one since 4 straight dem rule was truman and was pretty feat itself....plus leave a republican botch the financial crisis ;)
