If So MANY People Care, Why Did it Take 32 Posts for Someone to Comment on My Statement ...

LOL! talk about faulty logic!:eek:
Face it, No Matter How Much you Try to Come off as a Moderate; your Social Issue-Based Polemic Marks you as One of Those who Uses Issues of Faith to Divide, Rather than Unite ...

Didn't Cardinal Torqemada,Rev. Mather, and Senator Joe McCarthy employ that same methodolgy of broad-brushing?

The United States has had Two Failed Presidencies like that, it Will Not Have Another!

So you admt Bill Clinton was a failed president? I hope I'm wrong about Obama, but if not him then somewhere down the road we will another failed presidency; it's inevitable.

Oh, And to Standard X, I'll Respond to your Last Comment to me, Just as Soon as you Format it in a Readable Manner; I Know, Ironic of me to say so, Huh?
Whenever,whatever. :rolleyes:

The Republican race for the nomination is another story.

Main contenders for GOP nomination are Allen, Romney, McCain, Guliani.

In this ATL, the presence of Allen in the race means there is no absence of a first-tier social conservative candidate. Without that vacuum to fill, Romney runs a campaign centered on his economic expertise, Huckabee never gets any traction (if he runs), and Thompson doesn't run.

Jan 3: Allen wins Iowa caucus, Romney comes in second
Jan 8: McCain wins NH primary, Allen comes in second
Jan 15: Romney wins MI primary, Allen comes in second
Jan 19: Allen wins SC primary, McCain comes in second
Jan 29: Allen wins Florida primary, McCain comes in second, Guiliani drops out
Feb 5: Super Tuesday. Allen wins majority of delegates, McCain and Romney drop out
March 4: Allen mathematically clinches GOP nomination

Vice President Edwards never met Rielle Hunter in this ATL and is never caught in any extramarital affiar, be it with a young female interm or aide. His wife Elisabeth still gets cancer. VP Edwards got higher approval and favorability ratings than Pres Kerry in wake of the Hurricane Katrina disaster. Edwards' style of emphasing and connecting with the people there contrasted with Kerry who was perceived more as aloof and reserved. In spite of rumors and buzz going about on the eve of the 2008 Democratic Convention that Kerry will dump Edwards in favor of freshman Illinois senator Barack Obama, Kerry instead decides to stay the course and keep Edwards on. The Republican race for the nomination is another story.

Even before Allen's relection to the senate McCain was already ahead of him in the straw polls. But as 2007 progressed McCain,Romney, Guiliani,and sometimes Allen were leading at the head of the straw polls, so it would soon become apparent that the 2008 nomination was going to be an open field. In the candidates debates prior to the primaries Senator Allen developed a reputation of being very testy and defensive which made it hard for him to live down and also deflected attention away from McCain's reputation for his notorious bad temper. Former Tennessee Senator and actor Fred Thompson seriously considered running and at the end of May 2007 formed an exploratory committee. He hinted he would make a formal annouchment during the July 4th weekend but turmoil in his campaign staff caused him to postpone that, and in Sepember he announced he would not seek the nomination and threw his support behind Senator Allen. Throughout 2007 Senator McCain's campaign was low on money and many analysts and pundits were considering his chances for the nomination as good as dead. But in the weeks prior to the Iowa Caucus his campaign started to rebound and get some new vigor. This was probably due in part to Allen slipping in the polls as result of a gaff he made in November. By the end of December McCain was was having a slight lead over Allen in the opinion and straw polls and morale in his campaign staff greatly improved. With McCain on the verge of a come-from-behind comeback this race indeed was shaping to be a very interesting one.
