Election 2000 and 2004...

ELECTION 2000

President McCain and Vice President Cheney have had a good four years. The president decides to make a run again, and runs with no opposition. Although a wanted terrorist named Osama bin Laden is known, we miss him.

For the democrats, Senator and former VP candidate Al Gore makes a run, as well as former Arkansas governor Bill Clinton. Also running is Senator Joe Lieberman. It is an uphill battle to win the nomination. All three main candidates stay until Super Tuesday, however, 2 days before, news leaks out of sexual scandels. Clinton drops out of the race. Lieberman nabs the nomination, and chooses Senator Evan Bayh or Indiana.

 The Lieberman/Bayh ticket is neck and neck in the polls with the McCain/Cheney ticket. However, McCain is too popular with swing voters. He is 13 points ahead of Lieberman on election night.

McCain/Cheney: 400
Lieberman/Bayh: 138

ELECTION 2004

President McCain was 9 months into his second term when September 11th occured. The world spins into the war on terror. The president goes into Afganistan, and hunts down terrorists. His approval rating jumps up to 97%. Almost all of Americans approve of the job. Vice President Cheney decides not to run for president, and it is another open race.

Governor of Texas, George W. Bush runs, as well as New York Governor George Pataki, and Colorado Governor Bill Owens. Bush gets the nomination. He chooses former mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani as his running mate. The conservative/moderate ticket runs as a team that will be hard on fighting terror.

The democrats run Howard Dean, John Kerry, and John Edwards. Kerry gets the nomination and chooses Senator Edwards as his vice presidential candidate.
Kerry is wooden, stiff, and boring. Bush and Giuliani are popular, known and tough. They win the election in a landslide.

Bush/Giuliani: 516
Kerry/Edwards: 22

President Bush and Vice President Giuliani walk into Washington into a war on terror, not knowing where it will take them or America.

RECAP:
39th: Jimmy Carter/Walter Mondale
40th: Ronald Reagan/George Bush
41st: Lloyd Bentsen/Michael Dukakis
42nd: John McCain/Dick Cheney
43rd: George Bush/Rudy Giuliani
