Reporting for Duty: The Presidency of John Kerry and Onwards.

[2016]

Major Misjudgement by the Republican Party by nominating Jeb Bush four years after his brother lost the Presidency.
Kerry and I presume Obama are going to carpet-bomb Jeb about GWB mishandling about Iraq War, etc.

The only silver lining for Jeb is the Financial Crisis in September 2008 but Kerry is certainly going to blame Dubya for that.

Well, it's quite obvious under this scenario you put in here Democrats wouldn't have nowhere near that big Senate Night that they had in the OTL in 2008.
So my guess on the Senate Races would be like this:

AK: Stevens def Begich (GOP Hold)
AL: Sessions def Figures (GOP Hold)
AR: Mark Pryor reelected Unopposed (DEM Hold)
CO: Schaffer def T. Udall (GOP Hold)
DE: Biden def O'Donnell (DEM Hold)
GA: Chambliss def Martin (GOP Hold without Runoff)
IA: Harkin def Reed (DEM hold)
ID: Risch def LaRocco (GOP Hold)
IL: Durbin def Sauerberg (DEM Hold)
KS: Roberts def Slattery (GOP Hold)
KY: McConnell def Lunsford (GOP Hold)
LA: Kennedy def Landrieu (GOP GAIN)
MA: Kerry def Beatty (DEM Hold)
ME: Collins def Allen (GOP Hold)
MI: Levin def Hoogendyk (DEM Hold)
MN: Coleman def Franken (GOP Hold)
MS-1: Cochran def Fleming (GOP Hold)
MS-2: Wicker def Musgrove (GOP Hold)
MT: Baucus def Kelleher (DEM Hold)
NC: Dole def Hagan (GOP Hold)
NE: Johanns def Kleeb (GOP Hold)
NH: Shaheen def Sununu (DEM GAIN)
NJ: Lautenberg def Zimmer (DEM Hold)
NM: T. Udall def Pearce (DEM GAIN)
OK: Inhofe def Rice (GOP Hold)
OR: Merkley def Smith (DEM GAIN)
RI: Reed def Tingle (DEM Hold)
SC: Graham def Conley (GOP Hold)
SD: Johnson def Dykstra (DEM Hold)
TN: Alexander def Tuke (GOP Hold)
TX: Cornyn def Noriega (GOP Hold)
VA: Warner def Gilmore (DEM GAIN)
WV: Rockefeller def Wolfe (DEM Hold)
WY: Barrasso def Carter (GOP Hold)

IIRC, NH and OR were actually p close and in a bad year for Democrats, which 2008 will be, then those two seats could remain Republican for another six years. As for New Mexico, Domenici initially considered running for re-election before deciding to opt out after seeing how badly the GOP lost in 2006. Here, he'd likely run and win as, AFAIK, he was p popular, though this it'll be his last term. For LA, would the Republicans really throw in a grifter like Kennedy and allow him to win before having a solid Republican run instead? Arkansas might be changed as Sanchez hinted he'd be running for Senate here if I remember correctly. I agree with you on pretty much everything else except Virginia as Tom Davis could've won it but Sanchez hasn't made it clear if Gilmore is still the Republican Nominee there or not.

Well, I also consider Demographic Changes in the States + the Thread Author has put in Jeb instead of Romney. Easy for Democrats to carpet-bomb Jeb with negative Ads blaming the Financial Crisis on Dubya.

[2016]

I was surprised too by that Huckabee Pick. Jebs Standing with the conservative Base must not be looking all that good then.
This Pick is actually quite similar to the OTL when McCain picked Palin to rile up Conservatives.

[2016]

I cannot wait for the Election Results

[2016]

Well I’m not shocked

For the Dem party this is definitely for the best
But the damage Jeb! can do between 2009-2011 is very worrying

This is massive nonsense. Jeb is an honest Man and will be a good President. I wish he had run for President in 2000 in the OTL.

[2016]

Flarda Man,
I absolutely love this TL of yours

I wonder how 2010 is shaping up since you teased that Marco Rubio wanted something in Return for his Senate Race against Betty Castor that year from Jeb Bush and now President Bush.

Flarda Man,
I absolutely love this TL of yours

I wonder how 2010 is shaping up since you teased that Marco Rubio wanted something in Return for his Senate Race against Betty Castor that year from Jeb Bush and now President Bush.

Thanks! Rubio as of 2009 is being courted by establishment and Tea Party types alike, but Castor is still by far the favorite due to name recognition. The question is what Crist will do, which will be answered in due time.

If Crist runs for Senate Rubio should run for Governor having being Speaker for the Florida House. That Job (Governor) would be even more fitting for him I think.

[2016]

Are we going to get an Update here soon!

[2016]

I'd actually like to see Marco Rubio announcing a run for Florida Governor at some Point and Charlie Crist running for Senate. Crist probably has a better chance beating Betty Castor while Rubio would have a better chance beating Alex Sink.

[2016]

2012 is gonna be awesome

Wait until I get to 2020

Mate, I wanted to tell you this. I am absolutely enjoying reading this TL. Truly amazing & thoughful writing from you Keep it up!

It looks like you selected Nicolle Wallace as WH Press Secretary. How much that Woman changed from 2008 to 2020 I still a massive shock to me.

[2016]

Hopefully we can an update here soon cuz I love this TL Well written thus far!
