Well, His timing really seemed to suck IOTL, because he served most of his term under Republican Incumbent Presidents. I think we have to get Dubya out of the way, as he would be better able to take the Darling of the Christian Right role without him in the race. Maybe, My dear Ann Richards beats Bush or he gets his coveted MLB Commisoner Job which removes him from the Political scene. Dole picks Campbell as his running mate, and if he's able to sweep the South or pick up a majority of the Sunbelt states, he's the fruntrunner in 2000.
