2000 election

OTL, the 22nd Amendment was passed, preventing Presidents from running for more than a single Presidential Term, which ironically bit Republicans in the rear along with Democrats as Eisenhower and Reagan could've definitely run for a third term if they so wished but so could Democrats Bill...

in 2000 2008 and 2012 the Gop fielded three liberal candidates (conservative liberal not liberal liberal). This was because conservative political analysts at the time believed that appealing to conservative minorities (like Muslims, Mexicans, and jews) was the future. This contrasts with the...

On November 7th, 2000, John McCain beat Al Gore, becoming the 43rd president of the United States and the first president from Arizona. He had faced a tough primary against John Kasich, and an even more difficult campaign in the general election, but ultimately prevailed despite a good economy...

Like the title says: Ralph Nader is Ross Perot 2.0, meaning he does well as a third party candidate. I'd say a good range for him to be considered a Ross Perot 2.0 type is about 7% of the popular vote. Perhaps if Nader is also the Reform Party nominee, and/or if Gore never became VP, and the...

For a Better America 1996 Republican National Convention ----------------------------------------------------------------- Point of Divergence When the previous fiscal year ended on September 30, 1995, the Democratic president and the Republican-controlled Congress had not passed a budget. A...

“Now we can’t say that the aircraft has even crashed. We don’t know that. What we do know, it’s been missing now for quite a long time, because it was due to arrive in Martha’s Vineyard--according to the best available information--sometime before midnight last night. So it has been missing on...

Hi Everyone,this is basically going to be sort of a roleplay game thing where you can post the events of U.S Election Cycles from 2000 Onward. If you are interested in joining we will start with the 2000 Election.With candidate announcements and such From November 1st 1999

I posted this on the main 'Discussion of Events after 1900' thread and got an in depth reply, but I'm still kind of stumped on where to take my universe. My timeline's POD is a successful Reagan assassination in 1981. Bush takes over after, and the line of succession is as follows: 1980-81...

Let's say in this alternate 2000 election, Jack Kemp, a long recognized Republican decides to run and secures the Republican presidential primary, thus becoming a candidate to face off Al Gore? How would he have performed? Could he had beaten Gore? Keep in mind, Kemp is native to the...

What if incumbent governor Jesse Ventura ran in 2000 as Reform party nominee? Now we know in our timeline was that Ventura unexpectedly won the 1998 Minnesota governors race on a third party ticket which was very unusual at that time and still is. He was the most highest elected official to the...

Since the 1980s, Al Gore's chief policy issue has been climate change. He published the book An Inconvenient Truth in 1989, and starred in a 2006 documentary of the same name. Most discussions about a Gore victory in 2000 tend to focus on how he might've handled 9/11 and the economy differently...

I know this is relatively recent history, but just to set the stage for this DBWI thought experiment I'll recap the past 20 or so years of US history. In 2000, after a nail-biting election campaign, Vice-President John Kerry defeated George W. Bush and became the 43rd American President. Kerry...

Author's Note: That's right, stepping into the Non-Gaming timeline ring! This is my take on a Gore presidency, though I do warn you all, there will be some twists you may not expect later on down the road. For now though, let's be fixated on the man, the myth, the legend himself, Albert Arnold...

Accountability: The Fall of Bill Clinton January 25, 1998 It was going to be a relatively nice day, the high near 45. Sunday traffic was lighter in D.C., not that it mattered for the President’s motorcade. But despite having the ultimate right of way, it was still a few minutes behind...

I've already done an AHC on having a woman be elected US President by 2000. Now your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to have a man or woman of Italian ancestry be elected President of the United States by the year 2000. Bonus points if it isn't someone obvious like Mario Cuomo or...

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to have a woman be elected President of the United States on or before the year 2000.

Just as the tin says, your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to give Dubya the total win over Gore in 2000, and explain the aftermath of such an event.

Had John McCain been the 2000 Republican presidential nominee, who would've been his likely picks for Vice-President?

What if, instead of picking Al Gore, Bill Clinton taps Iowa Senator Tom Harkin to be his VP? Does this impact the 1992 presidential race? Would Harkin have beaten George W. Bush in 2000?

The POD is John McCain wins the 2000 South Carolina Republican Primary, and from there goes on to clinch the Republican nomination for President. In the general election, he faces Vice-President Al Gore. Who wins?
