What if Bill Clinton had won his closely contested 1974 congressional race against Republican John Paul Hammerschmidt (who died today)? http://onpolitics.usatoday.com/…/former-congressman-who-be…/ My guess is that as congressman from the whitest and most conservative district in Arkansas (basically the northwest portion of the state) Clinton would have had to accumulate a voting record sufficiently conservative that it would disqualify him--in a way his record as governor of Arkansas did not--from ever winning the Democratic presidential nomination.
