This is a map of how Gore performed in New York in 2000. The traditional color scheme is reversed, he is in red, Dumbass is in blue:

Most notable in Long Island. Hillary received only around 45% in Nassau County and barely 41% in Suffolk. Gore won each with almost 58% and 53% respectively. Note that's only Gore's numbers and Nader took a fair chunk in both. Plenty of people who liked Gore clearly didn't like Hillary.
Now how do we expect someone who ran that far behind a guy who only barely beat one of the stupidest pieces of shit ever to seek the White House to win against a GOP candidate who almost certainly would be more competant?
