After a great 2000 and 2004 election wins by the Gore/Lieberman campaign, 2008 rolls around, with Lieberman being the front runner. Only problem for him is that he is a moderate democrat, too moderate for some people. Senator Barack Obama announces candidacy as a more liberal democrat. More may announce soon, according to insiders.

John McCain would make the most sense.

I agree.

After all, the Republican Party has this tendency of nominating the runner-up of the previous primaries and John McCain came second to George W. Bush in 2000.

Plus, his foreign policy credibility and his status as a war hero and as a hawk would have gave him the advantage in this time of growing terrorist threat due to 9/11.

Yes. It was a McCain/Hagel ticket.

McCain probably would have been the nominee in 2004 though

[Lord Admirale]

I'm surprised Powell dropped out this early. There would be so many things going for him if he were to run for President.

[DeSantis4Prez]

I hope this continues I love this

This TL is probably dead but I might go back to it sometimes. My main TL is the Semi-Presidential one.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

16 years of consecutive Democratic rule (1993-2009) are not too plausible.
