AHC: Elect John Kerry in 2008

With a P.O.D. no earlier than Election Night 2004, have John Kerry win the Presidency in the following election. The hardest problem is having him win the primaries, not the GE.
 
Convince Obama to sit the election out. Clinton wins the nomination and dies a week before the convention. John Edwards and a few others fight for the nomination, but Kerry becomes the compromise candidate, a sacrificial lamb, as polls show that McCain/Palin is leading big.

Then Palin speaks and Lehman Brothers collapses.
 
Kerry runs in the primaries in '08 as well as obama and clinton but no edwards. At a deadlocked convention, Kerry becomes the compromise nominee on the fifth ballot with Tim Kaine as his VP defeating GOP Nominee Mike Huckabee in a landslide after the economic collapse.
