Gore wins. But not because voters actually cared about Lewinsky, but rather because Gore wouldn't mistakenly believe they did. He wouldn't hesitate to campaign extensively with Clinton and tie himself heavily to Clinton, running for a "third term" essentially of the extremely popular president with a booming economy, much like Bush in '88.
Granted, there may have been a couple of states (including perhaps Gore's home state of Tennessee as well as Clinton's home state of Arkansas) where enough social/religious conservatives were in fact turned off by Clinton's behavior that it could make a difference there by itself.
But regardless, Gore wins easily. Even with all the mistakes in his campaign, he still won "lost" by like 200 votes.
