"If Al Gore had my position on guns, I wouldn't be here and he'd be in the White House," Dean said in an interview earlier this year.

I do believe that Dean is correct on this point. If Al Gore had not turned on gun owners, he would have won his home state, and probably a couple of other states as well. I do believe the Democrats have finally seen the light on this issue, they don't talk about gun control too much nowadays.

It would be a mistake to focus on this too much, I think, though. The 2000 election was so close, particularly but not only in Florida, that you could probably fill a page with "if onlys".
