The POD is a massive hurricane hits New Orleans in Augusy 2004. Republicans control Congress throughout his term so he can't pass a health care program. There is no Kerry Care. There may have been immigration reform. He withdraws from Iraq. His lasting legacy is the Supreme Court. I read that David Souter did not like Washington. He could have retired in June 2005. Kerry like Obama would have wanted to pick the first Hispanic Justice. sSo Sonia Sotomeyer gets on the court your years earlier. More importantly he replaces William Rhenquist. After 2005, we have a 5 to 4 liberal court. Citizens United and the Voting Rights Act cases go the other way. I doubt that Sandra Day O Conner would have left the court while a Democrat was the White House, but I don't the burden she had with an alzhiemers husband. So maybe we have a 6 to 3 liberal court. Kerry is a term president. He loses probably to Mitt Romney in 2008, probably to Mitt Romney.
