I think if Gore had gotten in peoples perception of the economy would have been a bit more positive as they would not have had a brand new, inexperienced administration flipping everything on it's head.

Again, I generally agree with you. GWs comments on the economy
were either very foolish, or very smart. People need to realize
that GWs private interests and public agendas are not dependant
on the economy. Everything he has done, from Afghanistan to the
patriot act, has been done to expand his (read his and his peers)
power base. In this he has been hugely successful.
As for what would have happened if Gore had been elected...
I couldn't begin to guess.
We would no doubt be living in a different America.
Better?...Worse?...Who knows...
