Recent Elections:

United States presidential election, 2000

(✓) Former Governor Bill Clinton (D-AR) / Senator Bob Kerrey (D-NE) - 273 EV, 50.6 million PV
Vice President Carroll Campbell (R-SC) / Senator John McCain (R-AZ) - 265 EV, 50.9 million PV

With outgoing President Bush generally popular and a booming peacetime economy, Vice President Carroll Campbell is generally expected to secure a third term for the Republicans.  However, former Arkansas governor Bill Clinton proves to be a formidable challenger whose "New Democrat" rhetoric reverberates through a country seeking moderation and compassion.  Clinton eeks out a narrow victory in the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote.

United States presidential election, 2004

(✓) President Bill Clinton (D-AR) / Vice President Bob Kerrey (D-NE) - 322 EV, 62.5 million PV
Former Governor George W. Bush (R-TX) / Senator Bill Frist (R-TN) - 216 EV, 59.7 million PV

Following the devastating 9/11 attacks, President Clinton's popularity soars.  The United States and its allies invade Afghanistan to pursue Usama Bin Laden and dismantle the country's Taliban government.  Former Texas Governor George W. Bush emerges as the Republican nominee after a relatively uncontested GOP primary, and the fall campaign is competitive due to numerous Clinton scandals (which First Lady Hillary Clinton famously refers to as a "vast right wing conspiracy" during the campaign) and the increasing salience of social issues.  However, Clinton's wartime popularity carries the day when he wins on election day.

United States presidential election, 2008

(✓) Senator George Allen (R-VA) / Governor Bobby Jindal (R-LA) - 380 EV, 70.8 million PV
Vice President Bob Kerrey (D-NE) / Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) - 158 EV, 61.4 million PV

Congressional scandal, the government response to Hurricane Katrina, and increasing concerns about a stalemate in Afghanistan cost Democrats their Congressional majorities in 2006.  However, Clinton remains personally popular until the beginnings of the global financial crisis in 2007.  The GOP contest is a protracted battle between conservative George Allen and John McCain, which Allen is able to win late in the primary season.  VP Bob Kerrey waltzes to the Democratic nomination and serves as the party's "sacrificial lamb" once the severity of the economic crisis becomes fully apparent in October 2008.

United States presidential election, 2012

(✓) President George Allen (R-VA) / Vice President Bobby Jindal (R-LA) - 317 EV, 68.6 million PV
Senator John Kerry (D-MA) / Congressman Dan Kildee (D-MI) - 221 EV, 62.9 million PV

With the economy stabilized following an economic stimulus package and a bailout of the banking sector, President Allen works with a Republican Congress to pass national right-to-work legislation, the largest tax cuts in American history, and partial Social Security privatization.  However, backlash against these proposals lead to Democrats taking back the House of Representatives with a loud, unruly "Justice Caucus" pushing them towards the left.  Party stalwart John Kerry is able to win the Democratic nomination as a "last option" after several other more fringe candidates each suffer spectacular meltdowns.  Despite tepid approvals, President Allen is able to comfortably win reelection due to a historic poor campaign by Kerry and the Democrats.

 

United States presidential election, 2016

(✓) Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) / Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) - 297 EV, 64.6 million PV
Former Secretary of State Mitt Romney (R-MA) / Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) - 241 EV, 67.6 million PV

Republican popularity wanes throughout Allen's second term, and Democrats have another good midterm in 2014.  A large and talented Democratic field in 2016 is defeated by unconventional candidate Senator Bernie Sanders while former Republican Secretary of State Mitt Romney wins the GOP primary after a stronger-than-expected challenge form Idaho Governor Butch Otter.  Republicans campaign by saying that Sanders' economic platform would spell recession and huge deficits while Sanders' rhetoric is focused on a broad-based anti-elitist message without realistic policy proposals.  Despite Romney's perceived strength, Sanders' wins in the electoral college.
