In OTL, President George H. W. Bush won re-election in 1992, defeating California Governor Jerry Brown because Ross Perot did not drop out from the race and acted as a spoiler stealing votes. Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton did not run for re-election in the Arkansas Gubernatorial Election of 1994, but he did win the Democratic presidential nomination in 1996. Vice President Dan Quayle was expected to win the Republican nomination, but was defeated by Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole. Because of Republican fatigue, Clinton and his running mate Massachusetts Senator John Kerry defeated Dole and his running mate South Carolina Governor Carroll Campbell. Clinton won re-election in 2000, defeating Arizona Senator John McCain and his running mate Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge. First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton was elected as a United States Senator from Illinois in the United States Senate Election in Illinois of 2004. What if Bill Clinton's Presidency had been earlier, beginning in 1993? Would he even win against Bush in 1992, or re-election in 1996 with the scandals he had against him?
