I'm arguing that Gore won.

If by "won", you mean "got the most votes cast in Florida"? It was George W. Bush.

If by "won", you mean "succeeded in blocking an unconstitutional, selective recounts after election results had already been properly certified in accordance to Florida election law"? It was George W. Bush.

If by "won", you mean "received Florida's Electoral College votes"? It was George W. Bush.

If by "won", you mean "won the Presidential election, fair and square, albeit by the slimmest possible margin of victory in the Electoral College"? It was George W. Bush.
