2009: JD Hayworth dies when he his hit by a drunk driver coming home from work one night in November.
2010: With the Tea Party scrambling to find a new candidate to challenge McCain, conservatives remember Meyer's words from the 2008 campaign and a "Draft Steph for Senate" website is launched, gaining national attention. Finally, Meyer enters the race as the Tea Party favorite. Pouring her own personal wealth into the race, she defeats McCain by a handful of votes in the primary and defeats Rodney Glassman with 50.4% of the vote.
2011: Meyer takes office.
2012: The Senator campaigns extensively for Mitt Romney nationwide and delivers the Keynote Address at the Republican National Convention. It is well-written and proves that Meyer is capable of writing more than novels and she increases speculation about a 2016 Presidential Bid.
2013: Meyer leads the charge for a less liberal appointment to the seat held by the now-deceased Ruth Bader Ginsberg. She works hard, goes on national news, and raises her profile. Her efforts work, uniting the Republicans and roadblocking the President's original appointment.
2015: Meyer announces she will be a candidate for President.
2016, Republicans: Meyer wins the Iowa Caucuses over Rick Santorum, Marco Rubio, and the rest of the Republican field. She comes in second in New Hampshire to Jon Huntsman, beating Rand Paul. The fight for South Carolina is brutal but Marco Rubio wins with Meyer taking second. By Super Tuesday the field is reduced to Marco Rubio, Stephenie Meyer, Jon Huntsman, and Rand Paul. On Super Tuesday Meyer and Huntsman are the big winners, forcing Paul and Rubio out of the race. Eventually, Meyer pulls away with the nomination after defeating Huntsman in Texas, Ohio, and his home state of Utah.
2016, Democrats: Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden keep the door open to running, preventing numerous Democrats from announcing their intentions. In August 2015 Hillary declares she won't run, followed three days later by Biden. With little time to prepare a handful of Democrats throw their names into the ring. Mark Warner wins Iowa, Elizabeth Warren wins New Hampshire and Nevada, but her momentum soon fades when Hillary Clinton comes out of nowhere to endorse Martin O'Malley. O'Malley takes the next few states and when the President endorses him he takes the nomination.
Election Night 2016: Meyer/Chambliss defeats O'Malley/Warren - 281 to 257.
