Well, Gore's back, but the bad news is that he'll be in office during the economic crisis of 2007-2008, meaning that whoever the Republican nominee is will likely win...

I see JFK, Jr. becoming the president in the future...

In other news, I'm wondering if Selena had a girl or a boy (I'm sure that's coming in an upcoming update)...

Well there goes Hillary/Obama/Biden 2008. Literally impossible for any dem to win now. Also, kinda weird how the dems lost seats in the Senate despite winning the popular vote, even if by the thiniest of margins. Man, the House is just going back and forth isnt it? Well, no matter, heres to a succesful Gore presidency!

Hmmm...You know, if we really wanted to go full Dem-Wank on this, we could delay the economic collapse by a few months, have the Republicans win out over Hilliary, they get the blame, and, soon, you have Obama 2012.

Given the hint-drop, maybe more like JFK Jr. 2012?

I'm new to this thread (I found it via the TVTropes entry on Player Two Start), and I'm wondering what happened to Fox Family Channel? Has it become ABC Family yet- because ad far as I'm aware, Saban and Fox never sold out to Disney- for all we know, the net was a bit less of a money drain in this timeline because A: they didn't alienate the older Fam-watchers who loved the Westerns and the game shows Fam had and B: Fox and Saban tried not to bicker over who ran what. (I've actually made programming plans for a more successful FFC; I can post it if anyone's interested.)

Butterflies may prevent the financial crisis. Also, IOTL that crisis happened because the banks were completely stupid in the ways that turned out to actually matter. A Gore Presidency, with Democrats in control of the Congress, will almost certainly have stronger financial regulations, which may stop that in its tracks.

I believe there was a series in some Wikibox threat in which Hillary was the nominee in 2008, the economic collapse gets delayed until a week after the innaguration and McCain wins, althou she still wins the popular vote. Then Obama wins big in 2012. But the thing is that nowadays, you get ONE chance at running for president, if you fail, even if you win the popular vote and the "winner" turns out to be terrible you cannot run again. The days of Adlai Stevenson and Nixon are long gone. In 1995 there were a ton of republicans ready to jump for the nomination, but come 1996 Clinton had recovered and many of those candidates, (Like Collin Powell and George Bush) knowing the chances of victory were extremely unfavorable withdrew. Dole was almost a sacrificial lamb - no that he didnt try. Come 2008 ITL, the denocratic parties chances are slim, at best. Hillary would have it the worse, being so connected with Bill and Gore there will be a double fatigue syndrome. Democratic fatigue and Clinton era fatigue. What Im wondering is if she actually as unpopular with conservatives as she would be IOTL. Rememeber that she was so hated only because the republicans had a vested interest in making her hated. Everybody knew she would be the Democratic nominee in 2008 after Bush won re-election. With Gore on the white house there might not be that need. What Im trying to say is that I think it would be far fetched that the democratic parties best and brightest would waste their one shot in a quixotic run. Of course they HAVE to put someone. Dean? Schweitzer?

But were getting a head of ourselves. I comment way to much about politics in this Video Game TL

Also, did B Sanders got elected to the Senate in 2004? What happened to Patrick Leahy?

As for the Presidency, I wonder if 2004-2008 is going to be a poison chalice like it is in OTL - we may not have Iraq, but the economy, housing bubble, Katrina and the rest are all still well on their way.
