AHC: President Hillary Clinton

What had to happen that Hillary Clinton and not Bill Clinton won the presidental election in 1992 (and again in 1996!)? And how would that change history?
 
If she doesn't marry Bill and starts a political career in Illinois: perhaps her home House district and then challenging Percy for his Senate seat in '84. But that introduces so many butterflies...
 
Hilary Clinton replaces her husband as Arkansas governor in the early 1980s after a tragic accident. She wins re-election multiple times and is seen as a serious national contender by 1992.

She isn't as good a strategist as Bill though- last one to see that he'd be defeated in '80, ferex.

That might work. Or, the Arkansas scenario, and instead of picking Ferraro, Mondale picks Hillary for his VP. And she might get the bump she needs. Just like a certain governor of Alaska :rolleyes:
