Gore in 2000: A Wikibox TL
- Thread starter LastKingOfMaryland
- Start date
But seriously, everything went right for the Democrats ITTL 2002. An incredibly popular president, Homeland Security established, advancements in the War on Terror, booming economy, the House Republican leader resigning a week before the elections after being accused of molesting teenagers, the list goes on...
But here's an excerpt from President Gore's autobiography.
"After the 2002 midterms I felt on top of the world. Then it all came crashing down."
2002 House Elections
After regaining Congress and a few state legislatures in 2000, House Democrats returned to the campaign with some freshly gerrymandered electoral maps, ready to expand their majority.

Really interesting! I think Gore will be reelected but with a cratered majority in Congress that is beholden to Blue Dogs...

Glad you like it... One of these is wrong. Try to guess which!
Really interesting! I think Gore will be reelected but with a cratered majority in Congress that is beholden to Blue Dogs...
Kasich and McCain have high ranking cabinet posts. They wouldn't want to run against their president. Huckabee, meanwhile, is running for Blanche Lincoln's Senate seat.
Jeb Bush lost reelection to Janet Reno. I'll cover it in the gubernatorial update tomorrow.
George does run in '04 (he was reelected by a landslide even with his lieutenant governor losing the Senate race).
Here's a hint for you guys. The 2004 Republican nominee is currently either governing or representing a state Gore won.
Olympia Snowe?
Rick Santorum?
Lincoln Chafee?
Bill Frist?
Jim Jeffords?
Jim Talent?
Peter Fitzgerald?
Chuck Grassley?
Kit Bond?
Arlen Spector?
Juan Babuta?
