In 2000, John McCain and Al Gore are tied in the electoral college. McCain is elected President, while Lieberman is elected Vice President. McCain is assassinated on September 11th, Lieberman becomes President and is re-elected in 2004 despite losing the popular vote. In 2008, Harold Ford Jr becomes the Democratic nominee, leading to Russ Feingold's independent candidacy. Senator Jim DeMint is elected President with 46% of the popular vote, but he sweeps 46 states, including Feingold's home state of Wisconsin (DeMint 41%, Feingold 39%, Ford 19%). In 2012, Jim DeMint is once again re-elected - but with a sharply reduced majority. He defeats Moderate nominee Matt Lieberman (running mate: Charlie Crist), Democratic nominee Bernie Sanders (running mate: Dennis Kucinich) and Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson by a 35-33-29-2 popular vote margin. Guess what? This is the insane universe of Alien Space Bats, owned by yours.
O Come Alien Space Bats,
Install Joe Lieberman.

O come, let us adore Them,
O come, let us adore Damn,
Alien Space Bats.
