Yeah, by any reasonable tally Gore won the 2000 election. The question remains why Al didn't demand a statewide recount that would have him winning in the clear. If you look at the nature of both the Gore and Bush campaigns you'll see a trend that Gore was concerned how people perceived him and Bush would do anything to win. Gore thought wrongfully that there was a growing impatience with the recount process and settled on a quicker solution. The supreme court, with a great loss of credibility, decided for Bush.
