Ok, I know how many on this board feel as if Al Gore had won the election in2000, be it different results in Florida or otherwise, many believe that he would have served full two terms. Bringing along with him a new liberal era in America society
But is that really the case... Some Political Scientists looking back on the last 9 years of the decade fell as if partisan feelings within the United States were split on very defined lines and if it wern't for the War in Iraq, Kerry could have possibly won th 2004 election. But even he in the circumstances of a botched Hurricane Katrina, An early withdrawl from the war before the 2006 surge could have left Iraq in the midst of the civil war, and the economic crises which began last year...probably would have been a one term President as well.
So is it safe to say that a "Gore winning in 2000" scenario would guarantee three diferent Presidents within a decade? Who might the Republican's nominate in alt 2004 after the defeat of Bush and the conservative faction of the party? Would a more or less succesful War on Terror gaurauntee Gore's ability to win a second term? Or would the 12 year rule hold out? Would the current economic crises be more or less the same and be strong enough to throw the Republican's out of office after one term? Who wins the nomination on the Democratic side in 2008? Any other thoughts on the potential politcal,social and economic ramifications of Gore winning in 2000?
