October 29, 1994: Francisco Martin Duran fired at least 29 shots with a semi-automatic rifle at the White House from a fence overlooking the north lawn, thinking that Clinton was among the men in dark suits standing there (Clinton was in the White House Residence watching a football game). Three tourists, Harry Rakowsky, Ken Davis, and Robert Haines, tackled Duran before he could injure anyone. Duran was found to have a suicide note in his pocket and was sentenced to 40 years in prison
Here's a new topic that really hasn't been discussed on the board before, but lets say that Slick Willie wasn't in the Residence at that time. If Clinton was indeed one of the men in dark suits standing outside overlooking the North Lawn and was hit directly by Duran rifle fire, I doubt that the 42nd POTUS would make it.
So how would a Al Gore Presidency look like in the aftermath of the tragic death of Clinton? Does the GOP still manage to take over both chambers in wake of the President's death? Who does Al nominate as his Vice President(Might he go for an Minority or Woman)? Will Dole still run or win the nomination against Gore? Or does the Non-Charismatic Gore even win reelection in '96? What will Hillary's carrear shape out to be? How might the last 15 years have been different without Slick Willie?
