DBWI: President Kerry has been shot!

It happened while he was making a stump speech for his Vice-pres in preparation for the next big primary! I don't know who yet, but PBS was anouncing that Vice-President McCain has been sworn in an undisclosed location.

whuboy. Who did it? For god's sake PLEASE say it wasn't an Islamist. We don't need a loose cannon like McCain in charge if we're going to have to go to war with another Islam terror group.
 
OOC: vice president mccain???
ooc: Kerry made some noises about scouting McCain as a possible vice-pres back in 2004, before Bush made a concentrated effort to keep that from happening.

How is this DBWI? DBWI stands for Double blind what if. You ask a what if that actually happened but from a world that it didn't. I know it's bad explantion, but here's an example. "DBWI: What if America had joined the Allies"
 
*facepalm*
N00b12345, get with the program. DBWI (and has for a good while now, regardless of what the language purists care to admit) signify any kind of role-playing thread that based from a different TL from our own. It's a case in which the literal meaning of the acronym has long since been replaced with the acronym meaning something else.

Goddamnit, why does this happen every single time?!?!
 
Atleast Bush didn't win the election.

I was really shocked when I heard Kerry was shot. McCain is the Manchurian Candidate. He'll kill us all.
 
I guess Obama will drop out...is he really going to run against a martyred President in the primaries?

For his part, Romney just announced he's ceasing active campaigning...I wouldn't be surprised if we have a united government come the elections.

OOC: Take a few deep breaths, Dean, and then have a go at your DBWI-N00b Punching Bag.

It appears the assassin is a Lebanese national.

Whoever is responsible will pay.

That's barely proof. IMO, it's much more likely that it's an assassin hired by/involved with the far right, who have been losing money and influence with Kerry in power. It would have seemed to be profitable to get McCain on top, seeing as he has conservative tendencies.

OOC: Would you really say something like this in RL? Really? It's stuff like this that ruins DBWIs...:rolleyes:
 
According to CNN-TV, the big news story is that "in a spirit of bipartisan solidarity" sponsored by President Kerry, the next Vice-President is Joe Liebermann (D-CT). Apparently they are saying that it is a sign that the McCain Administration is definitely going forward with its plans for war against Iran and Syria, whom McCain is already saying sponsored the assassination in Charleston, South Carolina....

OOC: I am roleplaying. Remember that in RL discussions, not everyone's right. Same in DBWI. THe thing is, in DBWIs, people have the tendency to take previous statements as 'cannon', while it's perfectly acceptable to disagree and make your own point.
 
OOC: Can we agree then that the chaos created by the 2008 assassination of President John Kerry in Charleston, SC sparked both confusion and a series of politically-charged conspiracy theories? This would certainly be prudent considering the post-9/11 nature of the assassination.

IC: I have heard some theories that have been sent to the media, and is currently making its way across the local blog sites. They are claiming that the assassin was an American citizen, whose son was killed after being caught up in the 2005 National Draft effort....
