Suppose the 22nd amendment is repealed in 1999.  Clinton runs for a third term.

Clinton wins, easily.

Just look at his approval ratings.  Part of the reason Gore lost was that he failed to associate himself with Clinton-era prosperity.

John McCain could possibly have defeated Bill Clinton in 2000.

But he's running against the Bush/Cheney ticket...

With that said.. all he'd have to do is win every Gore state and his own, not much of a feat.

He would probably have a decent shot at winning WV, NH.. as well

This might be too generous to Clinton, but. . .

My guess is Clinton would take a small hit from the 3-term issue, but win 52-46% or so.

Doubtful... McCain would have been another Dole.  Great person, and if the country wasn't so stupid and ed up... he would have one, but people would have been craving more Willy.

I think that with no Perot and aiming for a third term the race would be fairly close but I doubt that Clinton would ever be in serious trouble.

Bush would be a stronger candidate than his father in 92 or Dole in 96 and the GOP base would be far more motivated than in either of those contests, what’s more I can imagine that Rove would be able to turn the evangelical vote out far more strongly than he actually did in 2000.

Despite this Clinton was a popular president despite WhiteWater, Los Alamos and Lewinsky and had strong electoral pull in both the South and MidWest which Gore did not in 2000. In the end he probably wins but by a fairly close margin, with voter fatigue, an energised GOP base and the absence of a strong third party all playing a part.

Now the real question is what would happen in 2004? How would the Clinton War on Terror go? Would it be enough to elect him for a fourth term?

Clinton would win solidly, though not in a landslide.

I personally don't think Clinton would run for a fourth term.  But he'd get a bounce out of it possibly in his approval ratings, so Gore might have won in 2004.

The 2004 Republican nominee likely would have been McCain -- the GOP would be tired of not being in power.  Of course, McCain likely would defeat Gore, but against GWB again Gore could win.

In 2004, Dick Cheney wins the nomination and then declares himself Sith Lord of the Americas...

I'm not so sure Clinton would have won in 2000, although I certainly would have voted for him. Nader would have done even better, as Clinton is not so close on the environmental side.

So you think that Gore was a stronger candidate than Clinton?

I think that in 2000 Gore was a stronger candidate than Clinton would have been in 2000, largely because of Clinton fatigue and the self-righteous Greens.

Clinton would have won, although probably by a bit closer margin than in his other two wins, due to anti-third-term sentiment and some erosion in his popular support.

You guys have to remember, there was no Perot to give him the 92 and 96 margins. It would have been far closer.

I believe that had Bill Clinton been allowed to run for a third term in 2000, he would have won. However it would be allot closer than his victories over Bush Senior and Dole in '92 and in '96. With Clinton leading the ticket, he would have been able to do well in the midwest, unlike Al Gore in 2000. Here's how I believe the Election Map would have looked like.



Bill Clinton/Al Gore (D): 306 EV
George W. Bush/Dick Cheney (R): 232 EV

I think that Clinton would of won. He would of been the difference maker in those 500 votes that defected to Nader due to the moral issues. OH was pretty much set towards Bush in 2000, he was leading by 15 pts in that state. Nevertheless, I think Clinton would of won. I think the electoral percentages would of been about the same but Clinton winning the electoral college as well as the popular vote 48-47 for Clinton.
