I'm feeling better about this outcome, insofar as Bush will probably win, but be illegimmate and much less powerful figure because he lost the popular vote. The benefit of Gore losing is that perhaps a more progressive wing of the Democratic party may have a fighting chance against the neo-Repubican Clinton and Gore wing.
