Fact Check: Bush v. Gore Was in 2000

In this article Bob Burnett writes that George W. Bush beat Al Gore in "1992" because he was more likable than Gore. Although I am not certain that is why George W. beat Gore—it may have been related to the U.S. Supreme Court awarding the presidency to Bush even though Gore won more votes—I am quite certain George W. and Al Gore ran against one another in 2000. 

I haven't looked it up but my recollection is that Bill Clinton defeated George Herbert Walker Bush in 1992, denying George H.W. Bush a second term in the White House and setting in motion our current national nightmare of Hillary's righteous belief in her inevitability in the White House as president beginning next year!
