Three points.
1. Gore/Bush it was explained away as something that "has not happened in over 100 years" and "almost never happens". No one can say that now that it has happened twice in the last 5 elections.
2. Bush was not so thin skinned that he made up huge lies to try and explain why he lost the popular vote.
3. 9-11 happened shortly after the '00 election which unified the country for a while.
