As a partisan Democrat,I am rejoicing at President Romney's defeat and looking forward to the presidency of Barack Obama. In particular I am looking forward to the new chief executive signing into law President Gore's stimulus package. I see it as the boast the economy needs. I assure you that prosperity is just around the corner. I thought that when Republicans blocked it during the last days of the Gore administration. I winced when President Romney vetoed it after the congress elected in the Democratic landslide of 2010 passed it. I knew then that President Romney was signing his political death warrant. The continued ten percent unemployment doomed his chances of winning this year.no In addition to the stimulas, I look back fondly on many of Gore's policies. My favorite is his support for education. I also admire his health care program. My nostalgia for the Gore administration led me to ask, what if we did not have those eight wonderful years. The obvious P.O.D. is Puerto Rico rejecting statehood in 1994. Whatever your political views you have to agree that George W Bush would have had a handicap as president. Like Rutherford B Hayes and John Quincy Adams, he would have had angry opponents shouting we were robbed. you recall after the 2000 election, there was a long recount in Florida that a Supreme Court decision stopped while Bush was in the lead. ITTL the five conservative justices don't reduce President Gore's margin of victory, they put George W Bush in the White House. How would he have done as president? How would he have handled angry Democrats? Since the vast majority of Democratic activists would have considered Gore the legitimate president that makes him the odds on favorite for the nomination four years later. So who wins the rematch of 2004?
