Trainer, were Americans tired of the Clintons and their scandals (the ones that stuck and the ones that didn't)? Was Gore hurt by being tied to the Clintons? Has America in general had the patience and consistency to stick with 1 party in the Executive Branch for 3 consecutive terms or even 4?!?!?!

The last couple of times Ford and H.W. Bush had a tough go of it (after following Nixon and Reagan respectively) with their approval ratings and the patience of the voters.

I'm not posting what I posted because Al Gore is a Democrat and not my favorite person...I am being objective here. I asked "What would happen to Gore after 9/11 given his previous statements about Bin Laden?" and my guess is things wouldn't have been good for him AT ALL just on that alone.
