abstract
  • The United States Presidential election, 1996, was a democratic election held in 1996 to decide the next president of the United States. Candidates were the incumbent President, Socialist Tom Harkin, former Senator from Iowa, was able to run for reelection and did. Harkin was incredibly popular entering the election of 1996, and many assumed he would win reelection, and he did. His running mate was incumbent Vice President Bill Clinton, former governor of Arkansas. The Conservatives were not expecting to win the election, as there were still some holdover effects from the disastorous Jack Kemp presidency from 1988 to 1992. They nominated unknown and marginally unpopular former Californian, Pete Wilson. He left California because he opposed the secession of Oregon, California and Washington state to become the Republic of the Pacific. He moved to Nevada, and eventually became it's governor. However, because of his staunch opposition to the Republic of the Pacific and Republic of New England, many believed he was a redux of Kemp, and potentially an extremist warhawk. These beliefs were reinforced by his choice of arch-Conservative and another potential extremist columnist Pat Buchanan, of Virginia. Harkin won reelection in a landslide. Wilson was too unknown and didn't stand much of a chance after he was labled extremist. The Progressives and Moderates didn't field candidates, instead endorsing Harkin.
