This isn't a very popular answer, but I tend to think that Al Gore would have tried for a rematch and maybe even won the election if there was neither a 9/11 nor an Iraq and the desire for a "war president" that came with those. If Iraq still happens, Kerry runs and wins the nomination, but his primary rivals do somewhat better.

The peacetime election would concern the deteriorating economy and the gay marriage debate, for which Gore might pick populist primary rival John Edwards as his running mate. He would already be looking for more Southern appeal based on 2000 and the past success of Bill Clinton.
