MSNBC's "Daily Rundown" devoted nearly seven minutes of air time Friday morning to one question: What if Al Gore had won the 2000 election?
"What if Democrats did it over again, and what if they had won?" host Chuck Todd said in his introduction. "In today's deep dive, we're looking at how history happened in an alternate universe."
The segment ultimately goes on to interview Jeff Greenfield, the author of43*, an e-book exploring the alternate history of Gore's presidency that hinges on the Elian Gonzalez case.
