In 2008, Giuliani wins the republican nomination, he selects Fred Thompson as his running mate. Clinton is nominated by the democrats and she selects Bill Richardson. A portion of the troops come home during the fall campaign and Giuliani paints Clinton as this polarizing figure who would lack the skills to lead a country. On election night, Giuliani prevails narrowly. Nancy Pelosi is shocked when the democrats loose control of the house and the democrats keep the senate by a narrow margin.
With a split congress, Giuliani can work together with the congress better than he could with a full democratic congress. He works together with the congress to bring 75% of the troops home as a result of great progress in Iraq. Giuliani pleases the american people by lowering taxes fifteen to twenty percent lower. Giuliani wins the hearts of the american people by bringing home a vast majority of the troops and lowering taxes while keeping the budget balanced. He presides over a stable economy and overall peace and happiness at home and good foreign relations.
By the time 2012 rolls around, Giuliani announces that he will run for reelection. He offers the running mate position again to Fred Thompson, however Thompson declines due to health concerns and other private information. Thompson wishes Giuliani the best and pledges to stay on as vice president until his term expires in January 2013. Giuliani is not challenged during the primaries and is nominated unamiously at the republican convention. Giuliani honors Thompson for his public service both as a senator and as vice president for the past four years. Thompson delivers a brief farewell speech. Giuliani selects Minnesota Governor, Tim Pawlenty as his running mate. Meanwhile, the democrats nominate former vice president and nominee, Al Gore for the presidency. Gore accepts the nomination gladly and he selects Dick Gephardt of Missouri as his running mate.
With the success of the Giuliani administration, will Giuliani be able to win a second term or will he fall short because of a need for change after twelve years of republican rule? You decide. Discuss with maps.
The tickets are:
Rudy Giuliani/Tim Pawlenty
vs.
Al Gore/Dick Gephardt
This will never, ever, happen. You are just creating a partisan hack of a post. But, for your benefit, here is a map:
