Wi Gore Enters The 1992 Primaries?

Some one that you might think of would be Senator and (former governor) Bob Kerrey of Nebraska. Medal of Honor winner in Vietnam. He is also a disabled veteran having lost his right lower leg in combat. So even so he voted against the Gulf War , how do you say a MOH winner is not a patriot or in favor of strong defense. He also took a 45 million dollar state budget and turned it into a 29 million dollar surplus . Bill Clinton was one of the GREAT politicians in American history, if he is gone or if his base is split with Gore in the race don't be surprised to see Bob Kerrey win the nomination and pick Gore or Clinton to be his running mate. Kerrey was gaining montiumn after a primary win in South Dakota and would not have ran out of money if he had finished higher than third in New Hampshire which he would have with Gore in the race. Kerrey than wins a closer race than Clinton in the Electoral Vote but about th same in the popular vote.
 
I think Clinton could have been appointed Secretary of Education.

No, I see him better as Attorney General or as a SCOTUS later on.

Duke4: About Kerrey, he could eventually rise if the Southern moderate base was split. He would've been an excellent VP (as I took him for Ann Richards in my TL), but putting him with Gore would've been ankward, given they are both Vietnam veterans.
 
Masked Pickle I liked your time line. I do remember that you put him has the VEEP. The key to Kerrey winning in 92 is hiring Paul Johnson has his campaign manager sooner. He came in at the tail end of the New Hampshire primary. If he had been with Bob from the start it might have made a big difference.
 
All in all, the VP choice doesn't really matter until 2000 or something happens to Gore.

What would the Gore Administration look like? Like Clinton probably but certainly different in some ways. Socially, would we have Don't Ask, Don't Tell or DOMA?

Any healthcare initiatives?

What role does Tipper play? Does being POTUS put greater strains on their marriage earlier?
