Nothing too major. The continuing war in Iraq (which is increasingly against insurgents) is a problem and the Robertson DEA and IRS are allegedly targeting left-wing politicians and public figures. Much of the coast hates him, but people in the interior are feeling good economically and the President's odd statements have declined quite a bit since his election. It's kind of a "liberals hate him, conservatives are fine with him" sort of deal.

@President Earl Warren Was right that the White House has been able to clamp down on questionable behavior.

I mean based on this description, and the fact that Mondale and Brown should split the anti-Robertson vote, he should be alright for re-election. That being said he'll probably be the first POTUS since Wilson to win re-election with a smaller electoral college showing that his first election.

Yeah, I really wasn't expecting either Fuhrer Governor Brown or Walter Mondale.

Honestly I wanted to do a musical interlude with a mid-90d remake of California Über Alles, but I couldn’t get the inspiration to write it. I was hoping to put it right after the Kaczynski update, and it might’ve helped with predictions.

Actually, similarly to what other people have done, I’m inclined to allow reader submissions as canon. I’d anyone wanted to rewrite this classic I’d be very happy.

To be honest, I'm a little bit surprised no one has commented on the fact France is now run by a General with no elected political experience and a history of administering parts of occupied Iraq and serving as an defense advisor to Jacques Chirac.

I honestly didn't know who that person was, so I didn't have any sort of shot of or surprise.

Prediction: Jerry's abrasiveness and Mondale's sort of traitorous air will split the election for Robertson, leaving the next election open for N A D E R

I mean it could have been Jacques Foccart, which would have been in-ter-est-ing...

That's fair enough. I could see myself having the same reaction.

See, you joke about that, but when you look up pictures of Walter Mondale, he has a smile in most of them while Jerry Brown has a sort of grimace. Maybe Mondale was who Jello Biafra was trying to warn us about all along?

OK, I lied. Here's a map showing Senate delegations at the start of the 104th Congress (January 1995)

2 Republicans
1 Republican 1 Rally for the Farmer
1 Republican 1 Independent
1 Republican 1 Democrat
2 Democrats
1 Democrat 1 Rally for the Farmers
1 Democrat 1 Independent
2 Rally for the Farmers

Republican: 53 (+3)
Democratic: 34 (-10)
Rally for the Farmers: 11 (+7)
Independent: 2 (-)
