So this guy creates a research tool designed to kiss Gore's ass and make appear more popular than he really is. This is nothing new. Last I checked, they called this the internet.
Ah, but by creating this theory, and spreading it, does that not, by influencing people with it, make the odds of his theory coming true increase?

Not significantly.  I doubt that it could turn a competitive race into a "landslide" just because he released this trivial bit of political news.
True, but it can have an effect on how people think. Ive always loved this way of working. Predict so that your prediction becomes more correct.

Well yes, this is a fairly common tactic. Even if something isn't true, repeat it often enough, and people begin to believe it.
