2004 presidential election

POD is Ross Perot begins his 1992 Presidential campaign with James Stockdale as his running mate by founding the Reform Party in 1990 as a protest to the beginning of negotiations for NAFTA . For the 1990 Congressional elections he has his party candidates stand all seats in the Congress and...

It was a cool autumn evening in Boston. It wasn't any ordinary day; it was election day, and pundits on cable TV all said the same thing. Democrat John Kerry and Republican President George W. Bush are neck and neck; the election is anyone's to win, and any small polling error could change the...

ALL THE WAY TO WASHINGTON: Howard Dean and the Fight to Take Back America On this day, 20 years ago, former Governor Howard Dean of Vermont let out a loud cry in an Iowa concession speech. This is where the story starts and ends for most people. The “I have a scream” speech, it was called at...

Can you imagine him doing well enough in Ohio to beat Bush? Could he win, or get the margins tight in North Carolina, and Virginia? Who would he pick as his running mate?

Look at recent primaries, and the delegate count, popular vote difference, etc... and it's hard to find another Democrat who won his parties nomination so quickly and overwhelming (and please don't point to Gore vs Bradley, that doesn't count) Ironically of course, Kerry lost to Bush, and...

Hey folks. I'd really like to write up a Howard Dean scenario, or even make a silly wikibox. But I'm a bit stumped on who he would've picked as his VP. Gephardt seemed the obvious choice at first, but they argued a fair amount during the primaries and sort of attract the same voter. Is Edwards...

I'm not too sure if somebody asked this before, but what would the 2004 U.S. presidential election look had there not been 9/11 or any serious related attacks which led to invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. These events were serious cases that helped Bush W. get reelected since wartime presidents...

I had this idea for a scenario regarding the electoral college. What if Kerry won the popular vote but still lost the electoral college to Bush to the same amount as he did in OTL? How would the country react? What would Congress do? Would there be some kind of a reform to abolish it and would...

Nothing

Simple enough question: in a world where Bush dies on 9/11 (or by choking a pretzel a few months later), who would be in the strongest position to win the Republican presidential nomination in 2004? The incumbent, Dick Cheney, seems like someone who would not want mount his own bid for the...

The Real Deal? A Kerry Wins TL Chapter 1: 2004-2005 NYT breaks warrantless wiretaps On Oct. 18, 2004, the New York Times broke that President George W. Bush had authorized a secret warrantless surveillance program. [1] The president defended the program as necessary to save American lives...

So after over two years of trying to continue my original timeline and struggling to do so for various reasons, I've decided to turn "The Towers Still Stand" into a collaborative TL for the sake of keeping a good piece of Alternate History alive. Anyone who is interested in contributing, please...

I was wondering if he ran in 2004 after him being Shadow Senator of DC. Would he win or lose in the primaries and the election? What would his running mate be?

Who would be his running mate, do you think he would have a chance at winning (I don't think he has a chance) what are the PV and EV numbers? How are down ballots changed if at all

WELCOME! This TL, now (sadly) aborted, focused on the America that might have been had Howard dean secured the Iowa Caucuses, the Democratic nomination, and the presidency in 2004. I managed to bring it up to the beginning of the 2012 primaries when school work got in the way and I lost...

August 20th, 1998. The U.S. launches Strikes in Afghanistan and Sudan: On the morning of August 20th, 1998, President Bill Clinton ordered American Armed Forces to target Terrorist facilities in Afghanistan and Sudan because of the imminent threat they presented to national security. The...
