I can't remember what platform he ran under to beat Gore in the first place.

The platform was the "I hate the lying
Democrat that got his frog sucked by
his aide in the Oval office and was
able to lie in front of
the whole nation while looking straight
at the camera"
Think that about did it.
9/11 did change Bush's entire view of
the world. He also brought the Nation
the "no child left behind" which has been
pretty much a disaster. Not a bad idea
in theory.
Bush was extremely naive in putting all
his cronies into positions that actually
required competence. Lots of presidents
do this with minor positions, like ambassadors.
Bush did it with important positions.
Dick Cheney has had a huge effect on the
presidency. Probably will go down as one of
the most powerful VP's ever.
