Actually not an unlikely scenario back then and not just because of a Congress shocked by the potential number of body bags that would possibly result from a land battle against a dictator armed to the teeth with the latest Soviet aircraft, armour and artillery, but also with an enormous arsenal of chemical weapons that he’d shown absolutely no reluctance to use in the past.What if Congress...refuses authorization for the Gulf War?

A Gephardt presidency would keep more of the *Perot voters as well. The Republicans taking the House wasn't inevitable, especially with a former Majority Leader as POTUS. And Glass-Steagall repeal will get the veto for sure. The economic slowdown could well start in 2005 or 2010 or anytime.Bush does not get that surge in popularity. Dick Gephardt runs and wins in 1992. Since there is no scandal, a Democrat wins in 2000. He or she is probably reelected and a Republican wins in 2008. Since there is no stimulus package, the economy is much and he or she is in real trouble this year.
