First of all, we wanted to thank Peter Shea for guest staring with us today! Author of In the Arena: A History of American Presidential Hopefuls, Shea and photographer Tom Maday go into the legacies and histories of the many presidential candidates that were nominated by their parties, but unable to reach the oval office. Peter Shea tells of the rise, early career, campaign and later achievements of historical giants like Aaron Burr and Henry Clay, up through modern candidates Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton. A foreword by 1988 candidate Michael Dukakis gives readers more personal insight into what it’s like to run for one of the most powerful positions in the world – and come up short.

Make sure to check out his book on amazon or Barnes and Nobles!

In today's episode, Back to the Past, along with author Peter Shea, discuss and ponder on what if Al Gore won the presidency in 2000 rather than George Bush did in our timeline. How would the reaction to 9/11 change? Would the United States still be heavily involved in Afghanistan and Iraq? And how about domestic policy? Gore was a known environmentalist, so would those policies have been implemented in the early 2000's? Would the Great Recession still happen? Make sure to have a listen and find out on the latest episode of "Back to the Past: The Alternate History Podcast"!
