Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are persuaded by alien space bats not to pursue the presidency.

The OTL field remains: Christopher Dodd, Tom Vilsack, Joe Biden, John Edwards, Bill Richardson, Dennis Kucinich, Evan Bayh, and co. still run.

Does anyone who didn't enter OTL decide to enter since the field involves no big names, such as Al Gore, John F. Kerry, Russ Feingold, Dick Gephardt or Tom Daschle? Does Edwards manage to snatch the nomination - and lose the election after his affair surfaces? Or do one of the other candidates manage to rush ahead with new momentum, no longer competing with Obama and Hillary?

All of this is also assuming the Republican field goes rather OTL, although Palin is potentially butterflied away.
