Well, if we can discuss a Presidential race still 3 years off, I don't see why we can't talk a little alternate history about a Presidential race 5 years old.
So, if you could go back in time and change something specific in the 2000 race, what would you change?
Me? I would have Gore pick former Texas Gov. Ann Richards as his VP. She would have been a great attack dog and would have kicked Cheney's butt in the debates. She would have made border states like Tenn. competative. Plus, while we would have still lost it, she would have forced the GOP to spend money in places like Texas that they would have otherwise got for free.
Once in the White House she could have been a major factor in addressing the biggest domestic issue out there - healthcare.
And on top of all that, she would have broken the Executive Office glass celing!
<Not to mention the removal of "Joe-mentum" from the policial lexicon.>
So, what would you have done? Different advisor? Different focus? You get one trip in my time machine and Al (or whoever you put in his place) is ready do what you tell 'em. So put on those 20/20 hindsight glasses and fix the country.
