He carried Alabama, but 6 of the state's 11 electors voted for some segregation guy.

They voted for Harry Byrd for President, and Strom Thurmond for Vice President.

And I don't think Nixon would have bombed anyone,
Who did Kennedy bomb? I didn't think the Vietnam War started until 1965 when Johnson was President.

Well, yeah. I don't think any President, whether it would have been Nixon, Kennedy, or even Johnson would have handled the Cuban Missle crises in a different way. (i.e. dropping bombs). Many things in history would have stayed the same no matter who was in power at the time. And this is one of those things.

How about America's aggressiveness in pursuing terrorists after 9/11? I believe that would have been the same under Gore.

That's one of the things I was refering to Smiley. Everyone keeps ranting and raving about how WONDERFUL of a job President Bush did during 9/11. Gore would have done the SAME thing, or anyone who was President would. And you can't convince me otherwise. Any President would have acted  like that in a time of crises.
