Any thoughts before I go into Hillary's second term?

[ej2mm15]

Eric Cantor (R-VA) will be the New Speaker of the House. Mitch McConnell will be the new Senate Majority Leader.

Following the meeting, on the 23rd, President Clinton announced that she will replace Gates with former Senator Bill Nelson. Prime Minister Gillani will take Zardari's place.

Anyway...

January 2013- With finally having all troops out of Iraq after ten long years, the President made a victory speech today in Baghdad. President Clinton stayed in Iraq until the 18th, talking with the Iraqi's Leaders, and overseeing Iraqi civilians help rebuild the country without American soldiers watching them. It was a grand day for the Iraqi people, and the Democratic Party. On the twentieth, President Clinton was re-inaugurated on Capital Hill with cheers from all across America. Nothing had been heard of yet from the missing explosives in Pakistan. Unemployment reached 8.2% this month. All was good.

February 2013- Unemployment stood still at 8.2% this month. Terror struck oversea's again, although not from Al Qaeda or the Taliban. Iran announces plans on the tenth to launch a ground invasion of Iraq. By the end of the month, 50,000 Persian troops were on the ground. The President and the UN, have had strongly condemned and sanctioned Iran for it's acts. Washington is furious.

March 2013- Unemployment raised to 8.3% this month. Following Iran's actions, North Korea has sent 25,000 of it's own troops into the South.

President Clinton confirmed on the 21st that The US will deploy 10,000 troops to South Kore to help out.

Democrats in the house have begun debating a bill to legalize marijuana this month, along with plans to develop a progessive tax. Israel launched several airstikes on Tehran later in the month.

[ej2mm15]

Bump. This is a wonderful TL

I'll update this sooner or later. It's just so boring doing the non election stuff after 2012. Once it gets to 2015, it'll go back to normal pace. (Update every day or so)

And I have two interactive tls I'm doing as you know, so I don't that much time for this right now. I'm definately not ditching this though.

[ej2mm15]

2013- Throughout the rest of the year, recovery from the recession remained sluggish leaving off at 7% in December. In October, Iran ended it's combat mission in Iraq after strong intervention by the UN. The war in Korea continues, athough briefly stalled due to the transition of power between Kim Jong Il, and his son. Both democratic bills failed, after being blocked by the newly republican congress. Republicans kept the Virginia Governor's race, while Democrats won in New Jersey when Christie declined to run for a second term.

2014- In the Korean War, the South has begun to gain an upperhand, and now has less than half the casualties of the north. In other news this year, Steve Jobs died of cancer, along with JOhn McCain, and former President Jimmy Carter. The main headlines of the year were the incredibly close midterms. The Republicans kept the House.

Updates will only be on weekends.

What's Romney doing right now? I gather he's not the heir apparent to any Republican nomination given that he's been in Hillary's cabinet and tried to work for Universal Healthcare on a national level. Will he run for Senate or something in the future?

He will come back into play very shortly. Not an heir apparent, but he'll be there.

Who's the Democrat that won the Georgia Governor's Mansion?

Roy Barnes wins in a rematch with Oxendine.

[ej2mm15]

January 1, 2015- On the first of the year, Mitt Romney made headlines when announces that hew would run for president in 2016 in front of a crowd in Boston. The Governor said that he had made a great mistake when he had joined President Clinton's cabinet and he deeply hopes that the Republican party can accept his apology.

(Now just imagine him and everybody else slightly greyer and older)

January 7, 2015- Following the field being officially opened six days earlier, Rick Santorum announces that he will too make a bid for the presidency. This is Santorum's second run for the presidency, losing to fellow republican Tim Pawlenty three years ago.

January 15, 2015- The RNC and DNC both announced today that the primary scheduling will all coincide, and that with a new revised calender the first states will consist of Colorado, New Jersey, Illinois, and Virginia.

January 17, 2015- Just two days after the calender revision, vice President Obama announced that he will be running to replace President Clinton with whom he has worked with for the past seven years. Obama is the first democrats to announce his candidacy.

January 25, 2015- Another candidate made an entry to the republican primary today with former tea party vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Ever since her campaign in 2012, Sarah has become a political icon thought stupid by most.

January 29, 2015- First-Term Florida Senator Marco Rubio announced that he will be the fourth Republican running this year. Many pundits are suprised that most speculated candidates have declined to announce their intentions yet. (ex. Pawlenty, Daniels, Jindal, Warner etc)

Republicans
Santorum 36.4%
Romney 24.8%
Palin 20.8%
Rubio 2.3%

Generic Ballot: Democrats 45%, Republicans 40%

[ej2mm15]

Well, of the four Republicans runnign, you don't give me much of a choice on who to support. Santorum and Rubio both have only been Senators, Palin is perceived as too stupid, and Romney's a turn coat who's begging to be let back into the party.

Don't worry, there's more to come.

[ej2mm15]

Update soon?

hopefully
I did some of it some days ago but couldn't finish.

[ej2mm15]

sorry, i've been really busy lately. I'm gonna try and get in a lot of updates during winter vacation.

[ej2mm15]

February 4, 2015- Vice President Obama is officially not the only person running the the democratic nominee. This afternoon, Senator Evan Bayh announced that he will be running for the Presidential nomination.

February 14, 2015- A third Democrat announced their bid for the presidency today in the form of Mark Warner. Warner and Bayh are expected to apeal to the more conservative wing of the Democratic Party.

February 16, 2015- President Clinton endorsed Vice President Obama this morning.

"Through these long seven years, I have had a huge help in making it through. That helping hand has been Mr. Obama.

February 19, 2015- For the first time since last month, a new Republican Candidate has entered the race. Mitch Daniels, who had been a strong contender last time around, announced his bid for president today in Indianapolis.



February 27, 2015- The Republic Field continues to widen as Today, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul announced that he will make a run for the Presidency as a Republican. After the Tea Party's failure of a bid last time around, Senator Paul decided to run as a Republican so he would have a better chance at actually being able to win in the general election. Ron Paul was shown to be supportive of his son's deciscon.



Democratic Primary Polling
Obama 44.2%
Warner 8.1%
Bayh 1.6%

Republic Primary Polling
Daniels 24.1%
Santorum 23.9%
Palin 14.1%
Romney 13.9%
Paul 4.1%
Rubio 3.0%

[ej2mm15]

Given the previous candidates, I'd go for Daniels because:
He's been a two term Governor (unlike Rubio, Santorum, and Paul)
He's not a closet Liberal (Romney in this one, possibly in real life)
He hasn't been the party nominee before (Pawlenty)
He's not perceived as an idiot (Palin)

By the way, what happened to Mike Pence and Lou Dobbs?

Mike Pence is mulling over a bid for the Governors office.
Lou Dobbs moved to Fox News.

I think I remember seeing an Independent gain on the 2012 Senate map in New Jersey.

Oh yeah that was probably him.

[ej2mm15]

Ong I was just thinking about this because of santorumentum.
Tbh, I barely remember where I was going with this and dot really have the time to pick it back up
