Reporting for Duty: The Presidency of John Kerry and Onwards.

Holy-! Dino Rossi actually won something!

Interesting fact, Vermont Governor at the time, Jim Douglas, was considered the only person that could've possibly defeated Sanders in 2006. That would be a fun Senate Race to watch ITTL.

Is it me or are a bunch of pictures deleted?

it's not just you.

Can Armstrong Williams be the VA Gov Nom for the Republicans or is it someone else?

One would think Jim Douglas would've ran in 2006 ITTL against Sanders since he was the best possible choice to beat him that year IOTL and here, the RNC would've really pushed him to run. IDK if he'd had run, but it might've been far, far closer.

We'll probably see a boring, bland Republican Ticket to go against Kerry/Obama in 2008 and they'll barely lose. Maybe Bush/Frist?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Maybe we can see Peter Boulware? OTL, he ran for Florida House of Representatives. Let's see what he's doing here and his thoughts on what's going on.

Well, it's quite obvious under this scenario you put in here Democrats wouldn't have nowhere near that big Senate Night that they had in the OTL in 2008.
So my guess on the Senate Races would be like this:

AK: Stevens def Begich (GOP Hold)
AL: Sessions def Figures (GOP Hold)
AR: Mark Pryor reelected Unopposed (DEM Hold)
CO: Schaffer def T. Udall (GOP Hold)
DE: Biden def O'Donnell (DEM Hold)
GA: Chambliss def Martin (GOP Hold without Runoff)
IA: Harkin def Reed (DEM hold)
ID: Risch def LaRocco (GOP Hold)
IL: Durbin def Sauerberg (DEM Hold)
KS: Roberts def Slattery (GOP Hold)
KY: McConnell def Lunsford (GOP Hold)
LA: Kennedy def Landrieu (GOP GAIN)
MA: Kerry def Beatty (DEM Hold)
ME: Collins def Allen (GOP Hold)
MI: Levin def Hoogendyk (DEM Hold)
MN: Coleman def Franken (GOP Hold)
MS-1: Cochran def Fleming (GOP Hold)
MS-2: Wicker def Musgrove (GOP Hold)
MT: Baucus def Kelleher (DEM Hold)
NC: Dole def Hagan (GOP Hold)
NE: Johanns def Kleeb (GOP Hold)
NH: Shaheen def Sununu (DEM GAIN)
NJ: Lautenberg def Zimmer (DEM Hold)
NM: T. Udall def Pearce (DEM GAIN)
OK: Inhofe def Rice (GOP Hold)
OR: Merkley def Smith (DEM GAIN)
RI: Reed def Tingle (DEM Hold)
SC: Graham def Conley (GOP Hold)
SD: Johnson def Dykstra (DEM Hold)
TN: Alexander def Tuke (GOP Hold)
TX: Cornyn def Noriega (GOP Hold)
VA: Warner def Gilmore (DEM GAIN)
WV: Rockefeller def Wolfe (DEM Hold)
WY: Barrasso def Carter (GOP Hold)

IIRC, NH and OR were actually p close and in a bad year for Democrats, which 2008 will be, then those two seats could remain Republican for another six years. As for New Mexico, Domenici initially considered running for re-election before deciding to opt out after seeing how badly the GOP lost in 2006. Here, he'd likely run and win as, AFAIK, he was p popular, though this it'll be his last term. For LA, would the Republicans really throw in a grifter like Kennedy and allow him to win before having a solid Republican run instead? Arkansas might be changed as Sanchez hinted he'd be running for Senate here if I remember correctly. I agree with you on pretty much everything else except Virginia as Tom Davis could've won it but Sanchez hasn't made it clear if Gilmore is still the Republican Nominee there or not.

Well, I also consider Demographic Changes in the States + the Thread Author has put in Jeb instead of Romney. Easy for Democrats to carpet-bomb Jeb with negative Ads blaming the Financial Crisis on Dubya.

Yeah, but at this point, Senate Races weren't as closely linked as it is now. It was harder to nationalize a race then than it is now

June will be up tonight. Sorry again for the delay.

Tis fine. Take as long as you need in order to make quality posts

[Huey Long is a Republican]

I agree with OSR. Can't wait to see the rest of the tl

[Huey Long is a Republican]

On Obama remaining in the Senate : IIRC, he hated the Senate and Congress in General IIRC and would've preferred to serve out the rest of his 2005-2011 term instead and if he wasn't running for Governor, he'd likely run for Mayor of Chicago or become a member of the Democratic National Committee.

Other than that, good update

I hear that often but I don’t think that’s case. In any event, Obama is eying 2012 after his Vice Presidential run and would have a hard time doing so as Governor or Mayor.

Understandable. I definitely expect 2012 to be Obama v Hillary and maybe also add in another candidate like Bernie or someone else to balance them out?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Maybe we could see Kasich or Cruz?
