What do you think that the 2004 election would have looked like without 9/11?
For instance, would Al Gore have run again? Also, would Hillary Clinton have run in 2004 in this scenario? In addition, would John Kerry, John Edwards, and Howard Dean have run in 2004 in this scenario?
Who would have been the 2004 Democratic nominee in this scenario? Also, would the 2004 Democratic nominee have defeated George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election in this scenario?
Finally, what would the 2008, 2012, and 2016 elections have looked like in this scenario and who would have been the Democratic and GOP nominees in all of these elections?
Any thoughts on all of this?
