After George Mitchell retired from the Senate in 1994, the election for replacing him as Democratic (and minority) leader was between Tom Daschle and Chris Dodd. Daschle was elected leader by one vote.

What if the vote went the other way and Dodd was elected Democratic (and minority) leader in the Senate? Would anything be different? Would he still run for President?

The funniest part was the deciding vote was casted by Ben Nighthorse Campbell who then quickly switched parties.

Chris Dodd would had a shot in 2004 rather than Kerry. However, the Edwards pick was fatal to Kerry's campaign due to 911 and he had no foreign policy experience. Gephardt was hindsight.
