2000 - No term limits: Clinton vs. Bush

[bgwah]

If there were no term limits and Bill Clinton ran for a third term in 2000, who would win?

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Clinton.

Clinton.

However, under such circumstances, I do not think George W Bush would have run in 2000. Since the GOP likely would've seen shades of 1996 with McCain, the establishment would truck behind Governor Lamar Alexander, who picks Wisconsinite Tommy Thompson for regional balance.

351-187 for Clinton

On one hand, Clinton had a 60% approval rating; on the other hand, by 2000 people would want new blood. Clinton wins, but by less than '92 or '96.

Clinton/Wellstone-337
Alexander/Ridge- 201

Gore decides not to run for another term, and Clinton chooses Paul Wellstone to be the new VP. Bush decides to wait until 2004, and Lamar Alexander gets the nomination, and does better than Dole but still looses. Clinton get's over 50%

So what does Gore do since he doesn't run for another term as Veep? Run for Governor of Tennessee perhaps?

I need to fix the map anyway

Here's the new map:

Clinton/Wellstone-334
Alexander/Ridge-204

[21st Century Independent]

I am not sure that Clinton wins. His unfavorability ratings were high at this point in his presidency due to the Lewinsky Scandal. I don't think he runs at all.
