McCain would almost have certainly lost, he was a poor campaigner. Gore would have been more comfortable pinning himself to Clinton. He wouldn't have targeted WV that heavily and the South would not have transitioned over to the GOP as heavily as with Bush. Evangelicals would stay with Gore, and McCain would do well with hispanics and suburban voters winning NV, VA, and CO.
