But the truth is, the only Dem who could have ever lost this race was Obama:

Are you trying to say that if the likes of Congressman Dennis Kucinich or former Senator Mike Gravel were nominated by the Democratic Party in 2008 that they would have better success at winning the White House than Barack Obama? Boy, you confuse me on occasions.

As for this scenario it really depends on how John Kerry's first term as President of the United States would have turned out. My first thoughts of a Kerry presidency are quite negative, thus I would assume if everything went heywire for the Kerry/Edwards Administration that it would be an easy Republican victory. However, if Kerry was elected in 2004 over President Bush, John McCain wouldn't have been the GOP nominee. George Allen or Bill Frist probably would have been me thinks.

The scenario isn't based on if Kerry had been elected in 2004, only that he was nominated a second time in 2008.

Excuse my ignorance Sir. I thought it was a scenario where Kerry was elected in 2004, not re-nominated in 2008. However, if Senator Kerry was nominated for a second time in 2008 he would be leading Senator McCain in the polls, however I doubt he would be in the same position as Senator Obama is in now.
