John F Kennedy Jr wins the Governors race in 2022 against popular incumbent George Pataki
Obama is a keystone speaker at DNC 04’ in Boston and elected Senator from Illinois
Hillary Clinton after being First Lady is elected Senator from New York in 2000.

In 2008 they all run for the Democratic nomination - with the state of the nation effectively leaving the Dem primary win as overwhelming favorite to win the Presidency

Who wins and as a bonus… who wins each state

Without seeing percentages, I would say Clinton drops out early like Edwards IOTL; and Obama stays through till the end like Clinton did IOTL.

This might trigger Massachusetts Democrats nostalgic for Kennedy, but I suspect Obama and Clinton outshine him and Obama still ultimately wins. Obama wins Iowa, Kennedy wins New Hampshire, Obama wins South Carolina, Clinton wins Nevada, and from there, it's essentially Obama vs. Clinton with Kennedy making decent showings in the Northeast. He would have a lane, but a narrower one than Clinton's women and white working class voters and Obama's young progressive and black supporters, to oversimplify.

Again with the Kennedy staning. JFK Jr. lasts longer than Edwards but flunks out, and the race is, as OTL, Obama vs. Hillary. With the outcome as narrow as it was, it's hard to say who wins, but my gut says JFK steals mainly from would be Clinton voters and Obama wins less controversially than OTL. This may prevent McCain from the galaxy brained moved of selecting Sarah Palin as his running mate.
