If it hadn't been close, I think they WOULD have behaved differently. Maybe not the far-left "MIHOP" Kool-aide-drinking crowd, but the rank and file Democrats? Sure. I think the results of 2000 pushed the Democratic party far, far to the left. And I think it's going to burn them in the future.
Eventually, somebody's gonna create the "Average American" party. It's going to be pro-choice, pro guns, mildly anti-drug (treatment, not prison) reasonably hawkish on foreign policy but not "kill'em all!!!", it'll believe that silent prayer in school is OK, "God" on money and in the pledge isn't constitutional heresy, and that the Bill of Rights actually means what it says, ALL of it.
