Does Al Gore winning the 2000 election help or hurt Bill Clinton's legacy as President? On the one hand, Gore winning would seem as though the public wanted a third term of Bill (the popular vote of OTL arguably suggests that). On the other hand, I could see 9/11, the (although mild) dot.com recession, and if Gore is re elected in 2004 (which I lean toward a no on that), the financial crisis, hurting Bill Clinton's legacy as well. What do you think?
