Hello can you tell me better vp’s for anyone who ran in 2000
 
For Gore, Bob Graham would be good being from Florida and he might make up the difference. John Kerry could have reduced Ralph Nader support.

For Bush, Colin Powell wouldn’t agree but he would be revered. If not, John Danforth would be a respectable choice.

Nader I don’t know someone else might want to answer that.

What about Buchanan as a reform
 
If Gore had selected New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen as his running mate, then he probably would have won that state, giving him 271 electoral votes and thus winning the election.

Forgot about Buchanan. Maybe Donald trump.

Trump doesn't seem like the type to play second fiddle to anyone else. Besides, he wasn't a fan of Buchanan back then: Trump unfavorably compared him to Attila the Hun.
 
Gore almost anyone but Lieberman ( I would of done Bob Graham personally to lock down Fla but Shaheen would of worked also)
 
Gore, anybody other than Lieberman.

Kerry was on the list and he could help clinch New Hampshire (but he might swing places like New Mexico, Oregon, Iowa, or Wisconsin red).
Shaheen helps flip New Hampshire and being a woman likely helps with women.
John Edwards was on Gore's list. He pleases liberals and southern populists.
Graham helps in Florida.
Dick Gephardt is another moderate from a southernish state, so I'd say he works - especially if he flips Missouri.

For Bush, John Danforth was the preferred backup to Cheney IIRC.
George Pataki was also on the VP list too I think.


For Nader, find a very progressive journalist with solid name-id and good media ties?
