1) People just get bored of one party being in power too long (in the presidency).
2) The economy was thinning in 2000. By the end of 2000, many were starting to fear for their jobs
3) Al Gore was given more power in 2000 and some attributed the last year of Clinton's presidency in which the dot.com boom started to wane to him.

You guys are underestimating the impact of the dot.com boom ending and the economy thinning in the second half of 2000. Many probably pointed to Gore as the reason (even though we know he wasn't) given that Clinton distanced himself/Gore distanced him in the final year of the Clinton presidency.
