I was reading on Wiki that Dan Quayle -- the rather dystopic VP under George HW Bush from 1989 to 1993 -- named Dan Quayle considered running for Governor of Indiana in 1996.
So I thought: What if Dan Quayle did run for Governor, regained popularity with the GOP by pulling a few stunts as Governor, and became the frontrunner for the GOP nomination in 2000? Then, if Dan Quayle beat out Bush in the primaries, and won by a similarly narrow margin in November?
What might have happened?
