Impact of Gore's debate performance

Really, given that he needed only 538 more votes in Florida, you could say that not holding one more rally in that state cost him the presidency.

It's sort of hard to fault him on Florida, though. It's the only state he outspent Bush in. He said it would come down to 1 vote per precinct (which actually turned out to be an overstatement), and he spent the final 33 campaigning nonstop in Florida.
