Clark, Warner Nominated in Boston

AP - July 29, 2004

Former Army General Wesley K. Clark, Sr. of Arkansas was formally nominated by the Democratic Party in Boston this evening to succeed President Al Gore as their standard bearer. The General highlighted his military service and said that he was the best candidate to handle the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq saying “I will keep America safe at home and strong abroad.” An embarrassing moment came when President Gore, who attended all three nights of the Convention, fell ill and had to leave the FleetCenter in the middle of General Clark’s speech. The General tapped Virginia Governor Mark R. Warner to be his running mate, hoping to sure up the Old Dominion, a critical swing state, for the Democrats. The Convention had an over-all negative air about it, as poll show that Americans remember who led them through the 3/3/03 Terrorist Attacks - Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Giuliani, Miller Nominated in New York

AP - September 2, 2004

In an unexpect announcement, Mayor Rudy Giuliani nominated Georgia Democratic Senator Zell B. Miller as his running mate. Mayor Giuliani made the case that “we need to set aside our partisan difference, as Zell and I have shown can be done, to ensure that Americans remain safe, and our national security remains at its’ best.” Mayor Giuliani hit hard on the fact that President Gore spent most of the week of the 3/3/03 attacks in “some bunker underground in Colorado. Is that what we want from a commander in chief? Someone who hides when the going gets tough?”. Mayor Giuliani announced that, if elected, he would create a Federal Department of Public Safety and Security to “protect America from attacks within its’ own borders and abroad.” The RNC put together a film of Mayor Giuliani during the 3/3/03 attacks, coordinating the rescue efforts and helping sift through rubble. Everyone inside Madison Square Garden knew that they had a straight shot at the White House. The Giuliani/Miller ticket was also nominated by the American Business Party at their convention in Los Angeles.

Giuliani, Clark Debate in St. Louis

AP - October 3, 2004

Mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York and General Wesley Clark of Arkansas met in St. Louis, Missouri for the first of three Presidential Debates. General Clark was well prepared, but could not chip off the aura of “America’s Mayor”. They mainly discussed the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. General Clark questioned the validity of the evidence provided by Secretary of State Kerry that WMDs exist in Iraq, while Mayor Giuliani promised that he would “get the job done” in both of the Middle Eastern nations. The Mayor continued to tie General Clark to the Gore administration and the highest unemployment rate in a decade. The General tried to project himself as a “Washington Outsider” but was generally unsuccessful. Polls show that Americans are ready to kick the Democrats out of the Oval office, after they won 4 elections in a row and controlled the White House 16 years.

Miller, Warner Debate in Miami
AP - October 12, 2004

The Vice Presidential candidates sat down at the Miami Chamber of Commerce and debate each other for 2 hours. This is the first formal Vice Presidential debate ever, and received massive ratings. Senator Miller and Governor Warner sparred in a duel of Southern drawls. Miller advocated for mental background checks and a repeal of the President Gore’s Assault Weapons Ban while Warner attacked Miller as a carpetbagger, switching parties for political gain, as well as projecting the ticket’s message that continuity is needed during a war. This appears to have struck a chord with voters and caused the biggest swing towards the Democratic Ticket since the conventions.

Giuliani, Clark Debate at Forum in Sacramento

AP - October 13, 2004

At the second Presidential Debate, the two candidates received their questions from undecided voters. The debate took place at a Forum at the Sacramento State University Library and lasted 90 minutes. The biggest difference from this debate and the first was that there was a lot of discussion about healthcare and education. Mayor Giuliani proposed his “No Child Left Behind” program, creating a national system of unified standards to ensure that “every child in America received a good, solid education.” In the field of healthcare, Mayor Giuliani advocated for expanding Medicare to create Medicare Part D to provide coverage for prescription costs. General Clark announced his support for a National Health System to provide affordable healthcare to all people, which General Clark said “has been in the works since President Truman.” General Clark fumbled when proposing his educational policy, saying that he does not support No Child Left Behind but could not formulate a substantial policy alternative.

Third Debate Canceled as Tragedy Strikes

AP - October 25, 2004

A third and final Presidential debate was supposed to be held today in Des Moines, Iowa but both campaigns pulled out at the last minute as news broke that a F4 Tornado had touched down in Kansas City, Kansas. The tornado destroyed much of the outskirts of the city, shut down most of the transportation in or out of the city, and left at least a thousand people dead. Mayor Giuliani announced that he was suspending his campaign “indefinitely”, he and Senator Miller flew to Kansas City to held with the rescue effort. “America’s Mayor” was seen once again in a yellow jumper with a hardhat, sifting through rubble and handing out blankets to the displaced. General Clark joined Vice President Shaheen in Kansas City, seeing the damage and meeting with victims. The Associated Press has decided to halt any polling until the 1st of November.

Shepherd Smith: Welcome to Studio B., I’m Shepherd Smith with FOX’s coverage of the 2004 Presidential Election. America’s Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, is looking like he’s cruising into the White House. General Wesley Clark, a key player in the War in Kuwait of the Clinton-era, failed to receive any major traction and is probably going to get crushed this evening. But anything could happen. Here are Fox News’ first projections of the 2004 Election.

Georgia for Giuliani

Indiana for Giuliani

Kentucky for Giuliani

South Carolina for Giuliani

Too Close to Call in Vermont

Too Close to Call in Virginia

North Carolina for Giuliani

Ohio for Giuliani

West Virginia for Giuliani

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani/Senator Zell B. Miller (R/AB) - 82
General Wesley K. Clark, Sr./Governor Mark R. Warner (D) - 0

Smith: All of the analysts predictions are coming true. General Clark has failed to win a single state in the 7 O’Clock hour, giving Mayor Giuliani a large lead going into the more competitive 8 O’Clock hour. I’ll be back with more results in a few minutes.

[DKrol]

Alabama for Giuliani

Connecticut for Clark

Too Close to Call in Delaware

Too Close to Call in Florida

Too Close to Call in Illinois

Maine-At-Large for Giuliani

Maine 1st for Clark

Maine 2nd for Giuliani

Too Close to Call in Massachusetts

Mississippi for Giuliani

Missouri for Giuliani

New Hampshire for Giuliani

New Jersey for Giuliani

Oklahoma for Giuliani

Too Close to Call in Pennsylvania

Rhode Island for Clark

Tennessee for Giuliani

Washington, D.C. for Clark

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani/Senator Zell B. Miller (R/AB) - 148
General Wesley K. Clark, Sr./Governor Mark R. Warner (D) - 15

Smith: General Clark has won his first two states of the night, as well as the Maine First Congressional District. But Mayor Giuliani has a commanding lead of 148 to 15. The Mayor is leading in 4 of the 7 states that are too close to call. This also appears to be a big night for Congressional republicans, who look like they will be holding both chambers tonight.

[DKrol]

Florida for Giuliani

Delaware for Clark

Pennsylvania for Giuliani

Virginia for Giuliani

Arizona for Giuliani

Colorado for Giuliani

Kansas for Giuliani

Louisiana for Giuliani

Michigan for Giuliani

Minnesota for Clark

Rudolph W. Giuliani Elected 42nd President of the United States

New Mexico for Giuliani

Wisconsin for Giuliani

Wyoming for Giuliani

Arkansas for Giuliani

Maryland for Clark

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani/Senator Zell B. Miller (R/AB) - 326
General Wesley K. Clark, Sr./Governor Mark R. Warner (D) - 38

Smith: And there we have it. Rudy Giuliani, Mayor of New York City, will become the 42nd President of the United States, the first Republican since Bob Dole left office in 1987 to move into the Oval Office. We’re being told that General Clark just called and conceded the race to the President-elect. The only remaining question of the night is how large will President Giuliani’s mandate be. How large will the Republicans majorities in the House and Senate be? Let’s find out.

[DKrol]

Rudolph Giuliani: Thank you! This is a great day for America. We are showing the world that we are going to be strong and decisive, we will not bow down to the terror tactics of Osama Bin Laden! We are going to go to Washington and form a bipartisan leadership team to work through these tough times. I have called General Clark and asked him to join my administration as my Secretary of Defense.

Smith: That was a portion of President-elect Giuliani’s victory speech, with the major announcement that his opponent, General Wesley Clark will join the new administration as the Secretary of Defense, pending Senatorial approval. Here are some more projections.

Iowa for Giuliani

Montana for Giuliani

Nevada for Giuliani

Utah for Giuliani

New York for Giuliani

Illinois for Clark

Massachusetts for Giuliani

Vermont for Clark

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani/Senator Zell B. Miller (R/AB) - 389
General Wesley K. Clark, Sr./Governor Mark R. Warner (D) - 62

[Bren]

So......much blue........

[DKrol]

So......much blue........

Wait until you see the Senate.

[DKrol]

Too Close to Call in California

Hawaii for Clark

Idaho for Giuliani

North Dakota for Giuliani

Oregon for Clark

Washington for Clark

Alaska for Giuliani

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani/Senator Zell B. Miller (R/AB) - 399
General Wesley K. Clark, Sr./Governor Mark R. Warner (D) - 84

Smith: I think we can say that the biggest shock is how close the race is in California, long considered a safe Democratic hold since Ronald Reagan abandoned his presidential aspirations. Governor Schwarzenegger, who won in a recall election a few months ago, has been out in full force with Vice President-elect Miller in the Golden State trying to court the generally liberal voters. It appears that this tactic has worked, as President-elect Giuliani is leading in state. We were ready to call California but there are several recounts underway and we want to be 100% sure when we call the state.

[DKrol]

Greta Van Susteren: I’m Greta Van Susteren with breaking news at 2:36AM on Novemebr 3, 2004. President-elect Giuliani will carry the state of California with 50.4% of the vote. This makes President-elect Giuliani’s total electoral votes 454.

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani/Senator Zell B. Miller (R/AB) - 454
General Wesley K. Clark, Sr./Governor Mark R. Warner (D) - 84

President Giuliani Hit by Car, Shot At
AP -- April 22, 2005

President Rudy Giuliani is in stable condition at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Today, as the President was crossing the street to visit a farmer’s market in downtown L.A., a green Chevrolet Malibu sped through a security barrier and hit the President, sending him flying down the road. As the car was stopped by the Secret Service and the President was being moved into a secure limousine shots rang out from the top of a nearby building. The President was not hit by the bullets, but a secret service agent and a White House staffer were.  Three men of Iraqi origins have been arrested by the Secret Service in relation to this assassination attempt.
