There's been a couple of threads asking about What if Gore won in the 2000 presidential election, but are there any good ones on what would happen if John McCain won the primary (which was apparently "very nasty and brutal") and then went on to win the general election against Al Gore?
What would he have done similarly / differently than George W. Bush (we'll assume 9/11 and Katrina aren't butterflied) and could he have been re-elected in 2004?
What sort of PODs would be needed to make this happen? It seems like the smear campaign (from what I've read) was the work of Bush? Who does his dirty work? Perhaps they could be the turning point.
