Most likely Gore would have won Florida, and thus the election.

Actually it is far from clear Gore woul have won.
Based on exit polls, If only Bush and Gore were on the ballot in FL, Bush would have won 49% to 48% (2 % not voting, the other 1% lost in the rounding). This was the result not of Nader voters favoring Bush, but 2% of Gore's voters would have voted for Bush without Nader in the race! Perhaps the more liberal Nader made Gore seem more of a centrist to the more conservative FL Democrats?
However, the exit polls also showed that Gore was favored by a net 20% of the Nader voters (over Bush and not voting), so perhaps Gore would have won FL if only Gore wasn't running.
