I'm still trying to understand this TL. Is this an 'Obama does worse'-type thing?

I mean agenda and popularity wise (he has gotten less of his agenda passed, but is his popularity higher?)

That's a huge democratic senate majority... I hope Obama gets some kind of healthcare reform passed at some point. Anyway, it is strange to have Giffords in a seat that her husband would later occupy.

I am curious how Tom Cotton won the Senate nomination against John Boozman...

Considering he was just some random 33 year-old with no political experience at the time.

Sad about Feingold. The closer election does give room for a comeback though. #Feinslide

About Ilhan Omar though...

In 2010 she was a junior at North Dakota State University. Just wondering what she did between '08 and '10 to make this possible.

Still, it is near impossible for a college student to be elected to congress.

I think Ron Wyden is a Democrat.

Ah, I miss Bachmann.

Make her the nominee please. She'll beat Obama.

That was (kinda) sarcastic. Bachman would make me vote for Obama. Romney/Kasich '12

Yeah. With the current state of candidates, I think I'll be voting for... Obama. Squinting

Please have Obama win (wow this sounds weird). This field of candidates is so bad the even I can only see myself voting for 2 or 3 of them, none of which would actually win.

On July 27, following days of speculation over the vacant Senate seat in Montana (thanks to Max Baucus's confirmation as Ambassador to China), Governor Brian Schweitzer announced that he would appoint Attorney General Steve Bullock as Baucus's replacement in the Senate. Bullock would face the voters in a special election in 2012.

Meanwhile, in New Jersey, Robert Menendez was indicted on by a federal grand jury over taking bribes from Opthamologist Saloman Melgen to advance his business interests. Menendez was found guilty of bribery and perjury on November 12, and was sentenced by Federal Judge William Walls to two years in prison. Menendez resigned from the Senate that day. On November 16, Governor Chris Christie appointed State Assemblyman Jon Bramnick to the vacant Senate seat, giving Republicans a Senate gain.

Following a poor result in the Ames Straw Poll, Newt Gingrich suspended his campaign for President on September 2, endorsing Jeb Bush.


I don't see why Menendez would resign.

I know. I'm just saying it is entirely possible he doesn't resign in the first place, as convicted Senators don't have to resign (Ted Kennedy is an example of this, when what he did was worse). The Dem majority (knowing Chris Christie) would block any votes for expulsion.

True, but Democrats, barring a really bad nominee should win the seat back in 2012.

And they know a thing or two about that...

The most Republican thing to do would be to pick Bachmann anyway.

How is everyone's favorite moron Michelle Bachmann doing at Guantanamo? Are the Saudis satisfied with that decision?

I think Jeb will (like 2016 OTL) have issues getting past the whole 'Bush' last name. Only this time it is four years in the past instead of 8.
