This is my very first TL. I hope you enjoy it. This is the quasi-introduction to my TL. I'll update later.

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]TOM JOHNSON: Well, folks, a few minutes ago, Democratic challenger Bill Clinton called President Bush and conceded, when New York's 33 electoral votes were given to the incumbent president, making President Bush 68 electoral votes ahead of Bill Clinton. In the history books, it will be recorded that the Republican Bush/Cheney ticket defeated the Democratic Clinton/Gore ticket. [/FONT]
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I think, to this very day, that the reason that President Bush defeated Bill Clinton in the '92 election was because of his running mate: Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney. Cheney had done a great deal in the Gulf War, and people liked him, at first anyway. Not many people liked Dan Quayle anyway, after, when addressing the fact of George Bush's age and how he might become president in the vice presidential debate in 1988, he said his could-be presidency 'would be the best one ever.' People liked Reagan, and that's why Bush got elected in '88, and possibly '92, but no one voted for him because of Quayle – not many anyway. When Bush said in the Republican National Convention of '92 that he was choosing the Secretary of Defense as his running mate, people loved the GOP. That's why they elected him. I don't know – if I'd known what the butterflies of 1992 were, I would have voted for Bill Clinton and wished I could vote a million more times.”[/FONT]
