I just came back from the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library, and I have to say, I’m quite astounded by what I saw. I mean, here’s a guy that took what seemed to be his election to lose in 1992, and somehow, managed to turn it all around in his second term. He’s constantly rated as one of the best presidents in recent memory.

It got me thinking, and I want to see what others think, of what might have been had Bill Clinton actually beat George H.W. Bush in 1992. What would our country be like had we had a Democrat in the White House during the 1990’s economic boom.

OOC: The POD here is that the sexual assault allegations against Bill Clinton come to light during the 1992 election, causing the Arkansas Governor to lose in the slimmest of electoral margins to the sitting Republican President. As a result, Bush receives much of the credit for the economic boom and rapid American GDP growth that occurred during the 1990’s.

This is my first alternate history of any kind, so bear with me on this one.
