Ok here is a quick list based on if Dole won the 1996 Election

1996


Robert Dole/Jack Kemp: 270 Electoral Votes
William Clinton/Albert Gore: 268 Electoral Votes
Ross Perot/Pat Choate: 0 Electoral Votes

2000: The 43rd President due to his age declines to seek a second term. Although the adminstration is fairly popular, Many have a feeling that the election is still going to be fairly close. Vice President Kemp picks African American Congressman J.C. Watts as his running mate while former Vice President Gore wins the nomination and picks Governor Jeanne Shaheen as his running mate. The race is really about the two history making Vice Presidential picks as watching Kemp debate Gore was like watching Paint Dry lol.



Jack Kemp/J.C. Watts: 286 Electoral Votes
Albert Gore/Jeanne Shaheen: 252 Electoral Votes

2004: Jack Kemp comes to office as the nation 44th President to find a Congress racked in Gridlock and with many of his Domestic Reforms thwarted by many social conservatives within his own party. 9/11 still happens essentially the same as IOTL, and Kemp's poll numbers rise due to the "Rally around the Flag effect" during the course of the War on Terrorisim. Yet by the 2004 elections, Americans had grown weary of Kemp's handling of the war as the death toll increased due to the US Invasion into Pakistan. Kemp faces a serious challenge from Conservative Governor Bill Owens of Colorado, but is barely able to clinch the nomination. In a heated contest, Senator Evan Bayh was able to clinch the nomination and continues the history making trend by making 1st term Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico his running mate, making him the nation'st 1st Hispanic Vice President. The Bayh/Richardson ticket wins on a comfortable margin.



Birch E. Bayh III/Bill Richardson: 319 Electoral Votes
Jack Kemp/J.C. Watts: 219 Electoral Votes

2008: Bayh, comes into office with a clear mandate and successfully brought the War on Terror to a close by 2007. His swift response to the Hurricane Katrina disater in 2005, NAFTA Repeal and push for Alternate Energy sources endeared him to the American people. However, the economy had signs that the economy was slowing by November of 2008 largely due to Dole/Kemp's deregualtory efforts.The Moderate-to-Conservative former Vice President Watts looses the nomination to staunch Social Conservative, former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas. Huckabee picked maverick Senator John McCain as his running mate. Bayh, due to his popularity wins in a landslide.



Birch E. Bayh III/Bill Richardson: 408 Electoral Votes
Michael Huckabee/Chuck Hagel: 130 Electoral Votes

2012: The Recession finally hit the United States by 2010, in which America suffers the worst Economic crisis since the Great Depression. Bayh's Protectioinst plolices, seem to hurting the nation's chance more than helping, and people feel nogalistic for the Kemp years. Watt's is finally able to clinch the nomination and he picks Senator Mitt Romney of Massachusetts as his running mate. On the Democratic Side, former Vice President Bill Richardson declines to run due to a possible indictment charge, allowing populist John Edwards of South Carolina to take the nomination. Edwards picks foriegn policy leaning Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts as his running mate. After a tough election, On January 20th 2013...J.C. Watts is sworn in as the nation's 1st African American and 46th President.




J.C. Watts/Mitt Romney: 308 Electoral Votes
John Edwards/John Kerry: 185 Electoral Votes

Ok here is a new list...The Duke Wins



Michael S. Dukakis/Lloyd M. Bentsen:  272 Electoral Votes
George H.W. Bush/Dan Quayle: 266 Electoral Votes

1988: Mike Dukakis wins the 1988 General Election against Vice President George H.W. Bush. There is no "snoopy" Tank disaster, and no Kitty Dukakis rape debate question. However, Dukakis being Dukakis only wins an ridcuously narrow victory. Dukakis actually has a fairly successful first term, as he was able to get a majority of his Domestic Legislation passed with a Democratic Congress, A Swift end to the Persian Gulf Conflict, and he provided a major economic stimulus package to help lift the nation out of the 1991-1992 Recession.

1992: President Dukakis along with his new running mate Representative Dick Gephardt of Missouri(Vice President Bentsen declines to seek another term due to his age and declining health) was able to pull off a comfortable victory over the Dole/Kirkpatrick Ticket of 1992. However, Dukakis unpopular Interventionalist poliices in Africa, Haiti, and Bosnia, as well as a new Republican Majorities in both houses in 94 made for a tought budget showdown in 1995.



Michael S. Dukakis/Dick Gephardt: 336 Electoral Votes
Bob Dole/Jeane Kirkpatrick: 195 Electoral Votes
Ross Perot/Jack Kemp: 7 Electoral Votes

1996: The unpopular Dukakis adminstration pretty much doomed Vice President Gephardt's chance's at winning the '96 election. He chose the popular former Governor Bob Casey of Pennsylvania as his running mate to help the Democrats remain viable in the rust belt. On the GOP side, the Southern Moral Majority finally had their way, with the nomination of former Governor Caroll A. Campbell Jr. of South Carolina picked Senator Pete Wilson of California to balance the ticket. The Campbell/Wilson defeats Gephardt/Casey in a comfortable victory



Carroll A. Campbell Jr./Pete Wilson: 305 Electoral Votes
Dick Gephardt/Bob Casey: 203 Electoral Votes
Lowell Weicker Jr./Dick Lamm: 30 Electoral Votes

2000: Carrol Campbell's 1st term proves to be a very successful, quiet first term as he brought back many of the conservative policies enacted in the '80's with Reagan. However he is diagonossed with Alzhemier's disease in late 1999, forcing him to abandon his plans to seek a second term. Vice President Wilson easily wins the nomination, and selects Social Conservative Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas as his running mate. On the Democratic Side, liberal Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey wins the nomination and selects former Governor Lil 'Jim Folsom of Alabama as his running mate. The Wilson/Huckabee ticket wins in a landslide in the popular vote but fails to break the 400 Electoral vote barrier due to a strong third place perfromane by Ventura/Nader on the Reform ticket.



Pete Wilson/Mike Huckabee: 345 Electoral Votes
Bill Bradley/Jim Folsom: 177 Electoral Votes
Jesse Ventura/Ralph Nader: 20 Electoral Votes

2004: Pete Wilson's 1st term in office proved to be no where near as quiet as his predecessor's. The September 11th attacks just as they did IOTL, only Wilson rapidly expands the War on Terror focusing both on Afghanistan, Pakistan while keepin a chilly relationship with Saddam in Iraq. This success of the War gaurantee's Wilson, despite being in his early 70's, a second term and 12 years of GOP Adminstration. The Democrats run a sacrifical lamb candidate in Senator John Edwards for their Nominee. Wilson breaks the 400 electoral vote barrier against the Edwards/Shaheen and Nader/Beaty tickets.




Pete Wilson/Mike Huckabee: 403 Electoral Votes
John Edwards/Jeanne Shaheen: 132 Electoral Votes
Ralph Nader/Warren Beaty: 3 Electoral Votes

2008: President Pete Wilson's 2nd term does not go swimmingly, his slow reaction to the Katrina Aftermath in New Orleans, Worsening violence along the Afghanistan/Pakistan Border, and the Economic Crash of 2008 dooms Vice President Huckabee's chances at winning the election,makes a history making choice in Senator Mel Martinez of Florida as as his running mate. On the Democratic side, Change is the national theme of the campaign, as Dukakis Democrat...6th year Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts is able to clinch the nomination. Patrick selects Senator Sam Nunn of Georgia for his foriegn policy expeirence as well to balance the ticket. The nation elects it's first Black President with a strong showing in the electoral college.



Deval Patrick/Sam Nunn: 366 Electoral Votes
Mike Huckabee/Mel Martinez: 124 Electoral Votes
Ron Paul/Sarah Palin: 48 Electoral Votes
