Emerging from the deeply divided Democratic Convention, the Democrats were hoping the ticket of the liberal Mario Cuomo and the moderate Al Gore will be able to secure a sixth term in power for the Democrats, unprecedented in the history of the country. Cuomo is campaigning on the ability of the Democrats to keep the union safe and the world at peace throughout the Cold War, the great performance of the United States in the Gulf War, and the claim that the current recession* is a minor blip. Meanwhile, the Republicans have nominated the libertarian-leaning Ron Paul for President. As opposed to previous Republican campaigns, Paul is instead campaigning on lowering defense spending. Nevertheless, the campaign is undeniably right-wing in that he is campaigning on lower taxes and the repeal of a number of "security endangering" arms reduction treaties. As well, he is attracting youth support by calling for an end to "oppressive" federal drug laws.

Coming up between the decently liberal Cuomo and the undeniably right-wing Paul is the ideologically hard-to-place Ross Perot. Like Paul, hailing from Texas, Perot is mad and everyone knows it. His campaign is based on a few key issues: strengthening protective tariffs and reversing the trend towards free trade, balancing the budget, protecting abortion, and strengthening the Environmental Protection Agency. Due to his mixed beliefs, he's attracted centrists, liberals, and conservatives alike. For Vice President, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell, himself ideologically centrist, has agreed to join the ticket. Powell is pointing to his military experience as backing to Perot's business experience as indicative of their ability to lead the nation.


*As in the real life recession. Not a right-wing plot.

And how on Earth did McClaughry get elected Governor in uber-liberal Vermont?

There were two votes for Paul's VP: Stassen and McClaughry. I went with the cooler dude. As with several of the Socialist VP candidates, I gave them higher office than they had in real life. Also, recall that this is Vermont 1990, not the evil version we have today.

Why not Cuomo? And don't say you're afraid of Al Gore because Cuomo is not going to die in office. He's still alive IIRC.

Cuomo, although I'm highly disappointed in him for picking Gore as his running mate.

Cathcon's last trick to sabotage his candidacy...

I hope you're not serious with this. There were about a million different VP preferences with about one vote to each person. Given the realities of the DNC and primary results, I went with one that made sense for uniting the party. I thought Al Gore was cool, what with the internet and global warming and all that. Is he out of vogue these days?
