The POD is New York Governor Mario Cuomo jumps into the 1992 Presidential race as expected and he crushes Tsongas and Clinton in the New Hampshire Primary. Unlike in OTL where Clinton's surprise showing in NH allowed him to become "the Comeback Kid," his humiliating defeat to Cuomo sucks out all remaining momentum in his campaign and before long he drops out of the race. Seeking to put a white Southerner on the ticket, Cuomo passes over the disgraced Clinton and instead chooses the comparatively clean cut Al Gore as his VP nominee. The Democratic ticket defeats Bush in the general election, and Bill Clinton never becomes President. At best he is remembered as a footnote in political history, the promising young up-and-comer whose career was ruined by his sexual indescretions.
So, where does this leave Hillary Clinton? Could she still seek out higher office had she never become first lady?
