✓ Mitch Daniels/Marco Rubio: 272 (49.2%)

Barack Obama/Joe Biden: 266 (49.1%)

Mitch Daniels narrowly defeats President Obama to become the nation's 45th President, and while he presides over a resurgent economy he faces obstacles from a divided Congress. Attempts are made to reform social security and to repeal Obamacare, but all measures fail before reaching President Daniels' desk. In an hope to regain fiscal sanity, Daniels stands by as the Federal Government is shutdown in the Spring of 2014 over funding for Obamacare. Any attempts to repeal fall short and the government is eventually reopened, but the incident leaves the President damaged politically in the Fall, Democrats increase their margins in the Senate and recapture the House of Representatives.

Frustrated, Daniels announces in the spring of 2015 he will not seek reelection, thus allowing his Vice President Marco Rubio a shot at the Republican nomination. Rubio faces Rand Paul in the primary, but dispenses with him after South Carolina. On the Democratic side, long time favorite Hillary Clinton announces she will not be a candidate for President, leaving the field wide open. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders runs, but drops out quickly after failing to gain traciton. Other prominent Democrats including Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker and Former VP Joe Biden run. Warren emerges an early favorite after winning Iowa in a blowout, but loses to Biden in the critical NH Primary and the subsequent southern states, which guarantees him the nomination, though Warren remains in the fight until the end in June, when Biden officially clinches the nomination.

In an effort to unite the party Biden selects his one-time rival as his running mate, giving the Democrats a major boost heading into the fall contest. Marco Rubio selects, in a surprising pick Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich as his running mate, who becomes the quintsential attackdog against the Biden-Warren Ticket. The election is close throughout much of the fall, but in the end Biden is able to paint Rubio as being part of the problem in Washington and manages to defeat him, running on a platform of country unity and pragmatic solutions.  [/i

✓ Joe Biden/Elizabeth Warren: 303 (50.8%)

Marco Rubio/Newt Gingrich: 235 (47.6%)

An era of Democratic Dominance is ushered in following the election of Joe Biden in 2016. The 46th President proves immensely popular and is successful in championing many long-fought Democratic causes, including an amendment to the Constitution, overturning Citizen's United. Biden, also takes to heart an initative aimed at curing Cancer in the United States. In 2018, Democrats hold onto both Houses of Congress, actually gaining seats. Biden maintains a high approval rating throughout much of his terms and while seen as a shoe-in for reelection, Biden declines a second term in 2020, thus elevating Elizabeth Warren to the top spot on the ticket.

Warren is nominated without much of a contest in 2020, while the Republicans are locked in a tough battle between Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan and former Vice President Marco Rubio. Heading into their convention Republicans are divided over a prospective nominee and ultimately select a white knight candidate in Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush who is nominated on the fourth ballot at the Republican convention.

Bush originally offers the Vice Presidency to Paul Ryan, who declines to join the ticket, thus causing further uproar in the Republican ranks. Ultimately, Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn joins the Bush tickets, but Republicans are bitterly divided heading out of the convention. Bush runs a respectable campaign, blasting Warren as a "tax and spend liberal" and hits the Biden Administration for failing to address the growing deficit. However it is a lost cause, Republican divisions over Bush and a united Democratic party ensure Warren's election as the 47th President and the first woman elected to the office.

Warren, a devout progressive is forced to moderate (a little) as a brief recession hits early on in her term, which delivers Republican control of the Senate in 2022, however by 2024 the economy has recovered her approval ratings are salvageable, and thus she is reelected easily over Texas Senator Ted Cruz. 366-172 (53.9% - 44.5%)

2008: Obama Loses a Close One

John McCain/Sarah Palin: 272 (49.1%)

Barack Obama/Joe Biden: 266 (48.9%)

2012 Presidential Primaries:

Pres. McCain runs on a one term pledge in 2008 and keeps his word, announcing in 2011 he will not run for reelection. The Democratic race is a contest between Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Russ Feingold and Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. On the Republican side Vice Pres. Palin is considered the favorite, but is challenge by Former Secretary of Commerce Mitt Romney, who resigns his post in late 2010. Also running, Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, and Congressman Ron Paul, but Romney emerges as the strong alternative to Palin.

The convention is brokered, but Palin narrowly emerges the winner with a slim majority, but the party remains divided heading into the election, even with the selection of Tim Pawlenty for Vice President.

Republican Primary:

Sarah Palin: 1,091 (50.1%)

Mitt Romney: 912 (47.9%)

Ron Paul: 191 (1.5%)

Hillary Clinton: 3,105 (55.7%)

Russ Feingold: 1,001 (43.6%)

2012: Clinton Ushers in Democratic Realignment

The weakened economy benefited the Democrats, greatly as Hillary Clinton took on Sarah Palin. Being the incumbent Vice President Palin was tied to the recession, and the Clinton campaign pounced on her vulnerability, including her own weaknesses as a candidate. Palin, also had to contend with a divided Republican Party, with many prominent Republicans sitting out the election, rather than endorse the VP. Palin bombed against Clinton in the debates and ultimately avoided national interviews, instead focusing on Republican news outlets and campaign rallies.

Camelot Returns!

The charismatic former Senator and son of the late President, John F. Kennedy rides an electoral landslide after eight years of George Bush and a disastrous economic collapse.

Mitt Romney/Sam Brownback: 96 (42.6%)

The Quest for Camelot

Struggling to dig back from the depths of the Great Recession, President Kennedy limps into reelection with meager 47% approval rating and faces a fierce opponent in Mike Huckabee who runs as a populist and despite coming close fails to unseat the incumbent President.

✓ John F. Kennedy, Jr./Joseph R. Biden: 288 (49.3%)

Michael Huckabee/John Kasich: 250 (49.2%)

Golden Times

The economic recovery limps along and the President faces a revolt in his own Democratic Party, which cripples Vice President Biden running for his own term in 2016. Republican meanwhile capitalize on the public's frustrations and anxiety and hold the President's feet to the fire. Kennedy's increasing unpopularity, and the American public's yearning for a new direction result in the political tsunami election of Donald J. Trump, on a platform of national renewal and economic populism.

Joseph R. Biden/Gavin Newsom: 65 (41.0%

Trump Card

Democrats attempt to protest the nationalistic approaches of President Trump, but to no avail. The popular incumbent presides over a revived American economy as well as boom in national pride. A winning combination for a President running for reelection, especially against a weak opponent.
