John Danforth, former Missouri Senator, was reportedly recommended by Dick Cheney and the VP search committee to Bush to be his running mate. Bush however wanted Cheney and Cheney accepted, resulting in the end in the Bush/Cheney administration. What if Bush had picked Danforth instead? Danforth was a moderate, but acceptable to conservatives. He would ensure that Bush carried Missouri, though Bush won it IOTL even without Danforth. If Bush picked Danforth, how would it effect the 2000 election? Would it hurt him and lose him the election, given how close it was, or would it help him and give him more legitimacy? How would Danforth being Vice-President instead of Cheney effect Bush's presidency? Would there still be the Iraq War? How would the War on Terror be effected? How would this PoD alter US domestic politics? What if?
