No, he didn't lose it by a "fair reckoning", it was a virtual national tie.
The interests of this nation were quite divided on which was the lesser of
two evils.

That's pretty insulting to the "common people".  From all appearances the
common people were pretty divided, unless the definition of "common" is much
different from what I would imagine it to be.  If the only people who
supported Bush were the 2 demos you indicated and the supreme court
justices, then he would have lost period.  Aside from any quantitative
analysis (which you could look at on a per state basis) I know a lot of
people personally who certainly are are neither rich nor anti-abortion who
backed Bush over Gore.  Also, if you look at the results posted early this
year about the Florida election, it was a virtual tie by any accounting;
ironically the last report I saw showed that if votes were counted the way
Gore wanted, liberally interpreting loose chads and scuh, Bush won, whereas
if the votes were counted the way Bush wanted, ignoring anything but a clear
clean hole, Gore won.  Regardless, Florida was a tie, and the victory ended
up depending on that.
