Rematch in 2004 Possible If Bush or Gore Loses
In Austin, analysts say a 2004 rematch between Al Gore and George W. Bush is plausible if the incumbent party earns a stalemate now and a conceding candidate pursues a calculated exit. Historians note past near-wins show leaders can reclaim the White House after a close race. A stalled Congress and weak economy could boost that outcome.

GOP cool to Carter's offer of election help
Former President Carter proposed a blue ribbon panel with former President Ford to oversee a Florida hand recount and absentee ballots, urging acceptance by Gore and Bush. Republicans dismissed the idea as improper, urging Florida authorities to decide under state law, while Mondale framed the proposal as a test of democracy and trust.
