...if Gore had won the economy would still be in the same mess.

How much of a chance it could be headed in worse shape? I'm not saying that Gore is Clinton. But... Do you remember back in early January? Clinton had a press conference with a chart...he was pointing at the chart and said: "There is nothing wrong with the economy." And just a few days later, Greenspan made his first surprise rate cut! That boy Clinton never even had a clue! While GWB knew a year earlier that we were headed for tough times and the best he knew to do (if elected) was to cut taxes to help stimulate the economy.
One other thing.... GB Senior did goof and didn't head off economic trouble. But then he did make definite changes to effect the economy. Those changes are what carried on into the Clinton years to make the economy so rosy. Then Clinton sat in the White House for 8 years doing nothing in any way about the economy. But nobody wants to remember this... Nor do they want to remember that the only reason Clinton got elected was because of Ross Perot dividing the conservative vote. Not even one out of five americans who could have voted ever voted for Clinton....yes that does include the americans who chose not to vote at all.
