Is Rockingham a troll? Because this is an interesting POD. I'd need to do some more research to come up with an answer, but it is interesting.

That all depends on how Clinton handles it- 9/11 didn't topple Bush and the Republicans.

Besides which, McCain is still going to see considerable opposition from Bush Jr.

I think an intervention in Afghanistan (bigger than the one in Somalia) would not be far off the mark.... but this late in his term, its hard to say.

Clinton can´t run anymore. Even if his popularity rise, I don´t think he can shift it to Gore. The election will be dominated bei National Securityand I don`t think the Dems could beat the Reps on this. The full blame for 9/11 will go to the Dems. Sum it up, that it is already the second terror attack on the WTC under clintons watch. And the economy will be in the 9/11 recession.
National security would also be McCain theme. I don´t think Bush could beat him in this. i´m not e´ven sure Bush would run.
