What if the Democrats nominated Bill Clinton instead of Michael Dukakis in 1988? What would the campaign have been like? Could Clinton have defeated Bush at the time?
Gore not running could be our POD.The problem is that there already was a southern "new Democrat" in the race--Al Gore. There wasn't room enough for two.
This is a myth. Perot took about equal number of votes from both major party candidates.Clinton got a lot of help from Perot in '92, so I don't see him winning in '88. And if he loses, I'm not sure who goes in '92, but it may be a tough road if they can't campaign.
