Yes, but only because of the gorilla. No other significant difference in policy.

Which policy though?

He did support invading Iraq, he certainly would have invaded Afghanistan. He would have been coup'd by his own party if he actually threatened the fossil fuel industry.

Gore supported the first war in Iraq, and bombing Yugoslavia. Why do you think he would have been any different RE gorillas or imperialism?
