That Bush won...just kidding. I don't think they fought hard enough to have the recounting of the votes in Florida done fairly. After all Bush's brother is Governor of the state.

Making Donna Brazile his Campaign Manager. It was her first Campaign Manager position and her win/loss record working in other campaigns has not been impressive. He needed someone more experienced, with a winning track record and tougher.
I also think Joe Lieberman as a running mate was a terrible choice.

He would have gotten more votes had he let Clinton campaign for him. He didn't want Clinton to overshadow him. He won the 2000 election anyways.

Letting his message be defined by his opponents, and by the so-called "liberal media" that hounded him over every little thing while giving Bush a free pass.
Not trying to distinguish himself more from Bush, whom he allowed to run as a bogus moderate.
Not bringing Bill Clinton in to campaign for him, at least in Arkansas.
Taking his home state for granted.

His biggest two problems is that he tried to share the same ground as the republicans (let's face it, as a Brit and hence an outsider, I haven't been able to spot the difference between the democratic and republican parties for years they're so similar) and that he has as much charisma as a plank of wood.

The biggest was that it featured Al Gore.

his biggest mistake was his determination to distance himself from bill clinton. had he not done that he could have taken tennessee and probably arkansas too. there was a lot of hullabaloo about the monica lewinsky thing around that time and i think he was trying to avoid all that.
he also had absolutely zero charisma.

It seems to me that he tried to distance himself from Clinton because of the Lewinski scandal. I think this was a mistake and he should have utilized his popularity.

Thinking Florida was part of the Union.

He ran just to spend some time doing something. He was never sincere in his bid.
