What if 9/11 occurs a year earlier?

[True Democrat]

Nader would have dropped out for unity's sake.  Here's a potential map:



New York might be stretching it, but: Gore wins 413-125

[True Democrat]

Clinton probably doesn't do the gretaest job of handling it, people have a hard time rallying around him and like the usual people feel the Republicans do a better of handling National Security.  For this reason, usually safe Dem states still in a state of panic vote GOP and so do some other states that feel the GOP is tougher on terror:

Also, Bush chooses Rudy Guilliani as VP b/c of his link to NY and how he saved the day

Bush/Guillani 472
Gore/Lieberman 66

That map is terribly exaggerated.  Even with Giuliani, under no circumstances does Bush win by that overwhelming margin.

No way Bush wins New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, California, likely not Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, possibly wins Iowa, Oregon, only possibly.

One must consider how Clinton handles the terror attacks, if he does well, Gore wins, if he drops the ball, Bush wins.   

Impossible.  In 1936 the saying went, as Maine goes, so goes Vermont. Today, as Oregon goes, so goes Washington. Washington wouldn't go Democratic if Oregon's going Republican.

Oregon is significantly more Republican than Washington.  It could happen pretty easily (and nearly did in 2000 and actually happened in 1968.)
