Graham just invoked him (if Al Gore can accept 5-4 from the Suprme Court, I can accept 4-3 from the Pennsylvania 2nd Circuit). Numerous Democrats have cited his gracious concession speech. Not to mention numerous commentators from multiple perspectives.
It hurt like hell at the time (not least because he actually won), but Gore didnt suffer for no good reason. He took one for the American team and walked away with his dignity intact.

It often feels like it was the beginning of the end. Until this saga I saw nothing good about it. He was majestic.
