There are very few scenarios that I can think of where Gore wins reelection in 2004 after his election in 2000. Many factors would be against him.

I agree. Here are the factors that I would have against Gore:

-Democrats controlled the WH for 12 years
-Very low job creation
-Mediocre economic record
-Lack of charisma
-Republicans' ability to run a smear campaign

If you have any more factors, please list them.

Gore is the incumbent and we're a nation at war. He has the clear advantage.

Even though the U.S. would still be in Afghanistan, the situation there would have likely more or less stabilized by 2004, and thus people would have began to focus much more on the economy, Gore's economic record, and job creation, where Gore would have a clear disadvantage. Combine that with Democratic fatigue and Gore's lack of charisma and Gore could very well lose.

Doubtful that Frist would be able to capitalize on that much. Unless the economy was absolutely terrible, voters were still not going to be eager to dump a wartime president who led the country after 9/11.

They almost dumped Bush. What makes you think they wouldn't be able to dump Gore?

Bush started Iraq...
