2004: Al Gore vs. Colin Powell, with a twist

« on: February 24, 2010, 07:39:25 PM »

Gore narrowly defeats Bush Jr. in 2000. The economy is very sluggish between 2001 and 2003 and when the eocnomy starts really recovering in 2004 (in terms of jobs), then fuel prices stat to go up. 9/11 does not occur since Gore ordered all airports to increase security at their airports in August 2001, and thus the 9/11 plotters were caught before they could capture the planes. There are no terrorist attacks in the U.S. after 9/11 as well. The Democrats renominate Gore, while the Republicans nominate Colin Powell. Powell attacks Gore for high fuel prices, low job creation, and his sluggish economic record, while Gore emphasizes the economic recovery and the rise in housing prices that occured under his watch (due to the housing bubble). You pick the VPs. Everything else stays the same. How would this election turn out? Discuss, with maps.
