Gore.  In recounts after the inaugration, if there had been a statewide recount, Gore would have won.

Source please for that statement.  IIRC, the Miami Herald essentially conducted its own recount and found that while the margin of Bush's victory would have been narrower with a recount, he would have still won.

Had there been a statewide recount, under every scenario Gore would have won the election.
