I don't think so. I think you need a GOP president to drive a change like that. Besides, charismatic or not, the man has had his share of gaffes; not the type of figure to drive a congressional shift. I think the country will settle for the norm and keep things as they are.I want to bump this since it's my thread. Also if Biden were Clinton's VP and ran as the 2000 Democratic candidate and won, do you think his charisma would enable him to get a democratic congress?
Does he still become a global warming activist after 2002 in this TL?As for Gore, if he's not put in a position in Clinton's cabinet, he probably very narrowly holds his Senate seat in 1996, possibly challenges Biden for the nomination in 2000 and loses, and then loses his seat in 2002.
It probably is, IMHO.Is 1992 long enough to remove Biden from the plagiarism accusations? I don't know...I think Clinton wins either way.
My guess is that Biden runs for and wins both the 2000 Dem nomination and the U.S. Presidency that year; after all, blue-collar workers and other people who might have been turned off by Gore's robotic nature will like Biden due to the fact that he looks like a gaffe-prone average guy (who isn't wealthy as Bush Jr. is!)!As the tin says, what if Clinton chose Joe Biden as his running mate rather than Al Gore in 1992? Assuming they won in 92 and 96, would Biden have run for president in 2000?
I think so, he just won't be as well known TTL.Does he still become a global warming activist after 2002 in this TL?
OK; thus, will he have to get on the bandwagon of a more prominent global warming activist in this TL?I think so, he just won't be as well known TTL.
So in this scenario where Biden is VP then runs for POTUS I don't know that he would pick Liberman... who do you think he would pick as a running mate?
Bob Graham? Evan Bayh? This next one is a bit far-fetched, but maybe Richard Lugar?
