After a landslide victory in 2008 against Clinton/Breaux , President Rudy Giuliani enjoys 70-93% approval ratings for a good solid time. Democrats still have lost the House and Senate, and want to get a Democrat in the White House. It does not look good though. Giuliani launces his Re-election campaign while holding 86% ratings. The contenders to the Democratic nomination are:
Senator Evan Bayh (IN)
Governor Brad Henry (OK)
Governor Bob Wise (WV)
Senator Joe Biden (DE)
Senator Patty Murray (WA)
Senator John Edwards (NC)
In Iowa, Bayh wins first place, Biden second, and Edwards third. Patty Murray drops out that night.
New Hampshire brings Edwards in first, Biden second, and Henry third.
By Super Tuesday, only Bayh, Biden, and Edwards are left. Edwards and Biden are almost tied with Bayh being well below. Soon, Bayh drops out, but wins three stright primaries! Talks of an Edwards-Bayh ticket are widespread like how Kerry-Edwards was in 2004. (Kerry chose Bill Richardson and lost to Bush/Cheney) Biden pulls out the nomination in a tight race against Edwards. Polls show Biden would beat Giuliani 51 to 49%. In two months, President Giuliani gets a major lead over Senator Biden at 60 to 40%. Giuliani decides to keep Vice President Rice on his ticket after talk of dropping her for rising star Mike Huckabee. Joe Biden chooses Governor Jim Doyle of Wisconsin as his running mate. In the debates, Giuliani wins all three. In the VP debates, it is a general tie with Rice a little higher. On election night, Biden recieves 200 votes to Giuliani's 338. Giuliani is re-elected 44th President of the United States. What does 2016 hold?
Your general ignorance and flip flopping on this site is only matched on this thread by your blind name dropping and total ignorance of the future shaping of the Democratic Party. Bob Wise? Patty Murray? Give me a break? Why would 2 "uncharismatic dim bulbs" be in the running for the Presidency? And, Joe Biden? He'll be close to 70 in 2012. Just analyze your own party. For fun, indeed.
