What if George H.W. Bush didn't run in 1988

[Enderman]

Paul Tsongas
Michael Dukakis
Bill Clinton
Al Gore
Joe Biden

[Enderman]

I thought that was just the convention, not the entire primaries, you see, in this scenario, Dukakis has the greatest amount of states Tsongas has the greatest amount of EVS  in his achieved states. So I'm confused, also, Clinton and Gore have 10 and 9 states, respectively, but Gore has the most EVS, but Clinton has the most states, so I'm confused... D:

[Enderman]

Rep. State Totals

Keyes:18
Buchanan:12
Kemp:11
Dole: 10

Dem. State Totals

Dukakis:14
Tsongas:12
Clinton:10
Gore:9
Biden:5

I just felt like doing who is leading in states just before I do the convention nominations
(I also forgot what the EVS were. :/ )

Democratic National Convention: Atlanta, Georgia
Republican National Convention: New Orleans, Louisiana

[Enderman]

T-Minus 2 Weeks until RNC


Dukakis nominates Gore for VP slot. Tsongas nominates Eugene McCarthy for VP slot. Clinton nominates Biden for VP slot. Keyes nominates Elizabeth Dole for VP slot. Buchanan nominates Dan Quayle for VP slot. Kemp nominates Pierre S. DuPont IV for VP slot.

Good timeline.

I think even the Democrats of the 1980's should be able to beat those tickets.

Meanwhile at the ABC Presidential Campaign Headquarters

Date: August 2nd 1988, 11:52 AM EST

       Sorry for interrupting you Tom, but in probably the biggest twist of this election, Republican Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan has had a stroke! Senator Quayle has taken over the Buchanan Campaign as acting campaign runner. Mr. Buchanan is in the Virginia State Hospital right now, he is okay, but in critical condition right now. We will give you more details as the day progresses...

4:10 PM EST

     Okay we just recieved word, Mr. Buchanan just got out of his coma, he has survived his stroke, but incapacitated right now, Senator Quayle has gotten permission by Mr. Buchanan to finish his campaign... that's right Senator Quayle has officially taken over the Campaign.

[Enderman]

RNC August 16, 1988, New Orleans, Louisiana[/b
      Quayle/Bob Dole:             43%
      Keyes/Elizabeth Dole:       33%
      Kemp/DuPont:                 15%
      Buchanan/Quayle:             5%
      Other:                              4%
     

One nitpick, they would hold another vote until a candidate gets a majority of the delegates votes.  So just add one more vote with Quayle getting like 53.3% of the delegate vote.

[Enderman]

Oh okay Ill look into that to correct! Thanks!

[Enderman]

better?

[JerryArkansas]

yes, much better

[Enderman]

I have a question, who should win the Dem nomination?

[JerryArkansas]

have Clinton win with gore and Biden endorsing him and giving him delegates

[Enderman]

Dukakis and Tsongas?

[JerryArkansas]

Dukakis and Tsongas?

Have them not support each other and some of there delegates go to clinton.

[Enderman]

Scandal that wreaks each other? Maybe a Massachusttess wide scandal that the Democrats were all involved in so they will probably won't be so effective in future elections, Presidential and Congressional.

Have Dukakis say something like he did in the general election debates in real life about the death penalty and have Tsongas have sex scandal with senate aid

[Enderman]

Mixed with bribery = the best Democratic aimed scandal ever!!!

[JerryArkansas]

should be good

Breaking News: July 15th 1988

Okay this is big, It has appeared that Paul Tsongas, Michael Dukakis, and John Kerry all have conspired to a dreaded scandal that will possibly wreak the Democratic Committee; Apparently Senator Tsongas, Governor Dukakis, and Senator Kerry have accepted bribes for delegate votes! And Senator Tsongas apparently aggreed to bribes to have an extramarital affair with another person while his real wife, who currently has skin, leg, and lung cancer. Governor Dukakis, when notified of this, he had a press confrence and said something so innapropreate, no one ever thought he would say such a thing. So now the only people left in the candidacy is Clinton, Gore, and Biden.

[JerryArkansas]

good, exept for the wife having so much cancer

[Enderman]

I was trying to copy someone else's thread, someone was running for president, then a scandal broke out like Dukakis', Oh, and spoiler: She lives, and converts to be a "Born again" Christian. Okay so since Clinton/Biden is occuring, who should Gore's VP be?

[JerryArkansas]

gore would support clinton, have gore as clinton's vp.  would make more sense to have that
