Dog, BTW, I do realize I am not the first to have thought of this! But, it is just fascinating to me that this conversation about Gore is finally finding its way into more mainstream media. Check out the review, below, and the part I placed in bold, of Morris' new book that he was promoting on O'Reilly:

Book Description
Dick Morris is the frankest and most outspoken political analyst in America today. His commentary on the Clinton White House, the 2000 election, and the rise of George W. Bush has been marked by the sharpeyed political savvy only an insider can bring to bear.Now, in Power Plays, Morris provides a revealing context for the machinations of contemporary politics. Casting an eye across the annals of history, Morris investigates 20 of the most dramatic political moves of all time -- from the wildly effective to the disastrous. From Abraham Lincoln splitting the opposition over slavery, to Winston Churchill's emergence from obscurity to lead Britain through WWII; from Ronald Reagan and his conservative doctrine taking over the country, to George W. Bush co-opting Democratic issues under the banner of "compassionate conservatism" -- Morris illuminates these and many other gambits through his uniquely insightful perspective. Equally compelling on successes and failures of the past -- including the real reason Al Gore lost in 2000.

I missed Morris on TV, but I have to agree with him. The bad thing for Gore is that he's lost those votes to Bush for good. And those same voters will stick with Jeb this time around.
