Ah, yes. Another "Gore Wins in 2000" thread. Because we obviously haven't discussed this before.
I want to take things in a slightly different direction. The means by which Gore is elected are irrelevant (the election was so close that nearly anything could tip the balance). But one of the consequences of a President Gore is a Vice-President Joseph Lieberman. Now, IOTL, since that election (and the events of 2004), Lieberman has slid further and further away from the mainstream of the democratic party. He still caucuses with them, but is a republican in all but name and affiliation.
My question is, what becomes of VP Lieberman? Does he toe the line for the Gore Administration? Does he get put on the Presidential ticket in 2008? Does he still break with the administration, or with the liberal wing of the party?
