If McCain won the 2000 GOP primary and faced off against Gore what would the result have been?
Whatever you want to reasonably assume.Butterflies in the Gore campaign and Nadar or no?
How is McCain that good of a campaigner compared to Bush, who IOTL smashed McCain?McCain in a landslide, he was seen as a moderate in the vein of Clinton for the republicans as well as having pretty substantial maverick credentials. Gore wasn't that good of a campaigner, and the general view of the time was that people were tired of the Dems being in the white house, as scandal fatigue was a real thing. The interesting thing would be how this would effect the republicans, would McCain's landslide bring the party away from the right and back towards the center?

Supposing this happens. If we get a 'September 11' attack ATL, would McCain have the sense to focus on Afghanistan, or would he go into Iraq like Bush?

...are you high?
McCain winning California, Massachusetts, and Illinois? Not in a million years. The only way the Republicans win those states post culture war is if the Democrats run Timothy McVeigh.
And maybe not even then.
Gore only carried Oregon by 6,765 votes (0.44%).I do like your map better. Except Oregon. I think that's been throughly hipsterfied by 2000, but I'm no expert.
