This is shaping up to be the most consequential race in decades.
Actually if you think about it the 2000 election may have been equally consequential. Except "we" lost that one and the consequences were horrendous.
With a President Al Gore it's entirely possible that the 9/11 attack may not have happened. The Afghan and Iraqi wars certainly wouldn't have happened, nor the Great Recession. Perhaps we would not have had our first black president but may have avoided the TEA Party and the radicalization of the Republican Party altogether. Al Gore is an environmentalist and would have supported efforts early on to fight global warming and would have embraced renewable energy sources. Perhaps Hillary Clinton would be our president now and Donald Trump nor Ted Cruz would even be candidates in this election.
Perhaps we'd be poised today to elect Senator Obama as our next President.....
