I know it is like fighting the tide, but I must point out that Al Gore lost because he got fewer votes in Florida. There is not way, under any counting scheme proposed, he would have won in Florida. The 2000 election was not decided by the Supreme Court. Anybody who says so is revealing himself to be an idiot.
There was practically no mechanism by which Al Gore would have become President in 2000, Supreme Court or no Supreme Court. Something like 11 of the 12 media recount scenarios showed Bush winning Florida. And even if the 1-in-12 Gore longshot came to pass, or the Florida Supreme Court did something stupid (again), the Republicans controlled the Governor's mansion and the state legislature. Worst case scenario, the Florida GOP sends up a competing slate of Bush electors to DC. And the GOP had the votes in the House to validate the GOP slate. Gore loses no matter what.
