This is my first TL on this site, well, my first serious TL, so you shouldn't expect too much from it, it will mainly consist of Wikiboxes with several sentence long write-ups. So now without further ado, here is the first post.

"Vice President Al Gore has announced that he is running for the Democratic nomination."
CNN Report: June 16, 1999

"Vice President Al Gore is now the Democratic nominee for President, and he has announced that John Kerry will be his running mate, he is now heading out to Missouri to begin campaigning with President Clinton."

"Al Gore: 53%, George W. Bush: 40%, Ralph Nader 2%"
Gallup Poll: October 19, 2000

"Vice President Gore is heading into this election with a 4% lead in the polls and is considered the candidate most likely to win the election."

"We can now call California for Al Gore, bringing him to 299 Electoral Votes. We can also now call the election for Al Gore, who will be the 43rd President of the United States!"

This looks interesting. I wonder what your take will be on this idea, and if it'll be different from hcagella's TL. Seems good so far, looking forward to more.:)
