What would happen if Al Gore won in 2000, and shortly after his inauguration (say, 10 days), he dies/is assassinated by (insert group here), and Lieberman takes over.

What happens then? Who is Lieberman's VP? What does he do?
 
Lieberman might select Bob Graham as VP, who ranked highly on Gore's OTL shortlist. His agenda wouldn't be too different from Gore's- Afghanistan still goes ahead, probably not Iraq. No Bush tax cuts, no Medicare Part D, no Iraq. GOP still takes the Senate in 2002 and probably keeps the House. For 2004, McCain is thet likely GOP opponent. Despite the good economy, incumbency fatigue probably means a McCain victory. GOP loses the House but not the Senate in '06, Democrats win everything in '08.
