Anyway, it seems if this were to hold true, then Al Gore would have served as POTUS.

Now, now, it's not as if Al Gore wasn't elected president. In a far more presidential act than any of the acts prepetrated by the loser of that election, he opted to step aside rather than have riots in the streets. Let us hope, then, that this election isn't so close as polls would indicate, because I do not see that willingness in Kerry nor the willingess in the electorate to accept it, nor any reason why Kerry shouldn't press the issue if it comes to that.
