So, after the Twists and Turns 2012 timeline failed, mostly due to an image uploading mistake, I was thinking of starting a new timeline, and I think I have a few intersting ideas. I'd be glad to hear some opinions and votes to help me determine which one should I do.

Idea summaries (note- the names are beta)Sad

Four More Years- In a world without the 22nd amendament, Barack Obama is convinced by supporters, donors and friends to run for a 3rd term. But with an ambitious Hillary Clinton furious about her stolen turn, an insurgent campaign by the Progressive Senator Bernie Sanders and, with a fractured establishment field, a possibility for more candidates, as well as a fearsome Republican field, the road for the Obama 2016 train will be tough.
From the Ashes- Former Senator Russ Feingold lost his Senate race in 2016, and his electoral career seems to be over. When he enters the fractured, mediocre Democratic field in 2020, most pundits aren't giving him much of a chance. Will he be able to overcome the odds and ride an old-fashioned progressive wave to defeat President Trump?
A Very Serious Problem- Jon Huntsman's campaign in 2012 recieves an important boost with the collapse of the Romney candidacy, but with extremist candidates (Obama most likely doesn't run in this TL, not sure yet) surging in both parties, is it time for a Third Party to emerge?
An Empty Void- When George W. Bush unexpectedly declares that he will not run for President in 2000, a void is suddenly created in the Republican primary without a clear frontrunner. Who will emerge on the top, and will there be any surprising developments on the Democratic side?
The Leftist Resurgence- As Benjamin Netanyahu's star crashes with fire and flames due to corruption charges, the Israeli right is in disarray, with the Likud members fighting for leadership and the Jewish Home fanning the flames. Will the Israeli left wing finally be able to capitalize on that and convince the people that unlike Netanyahu lead them to believe, "Leftist is not a swearword"?

An Israel TL would be very refreshing!

2-4 would be the best


Also 4 more years wouldn't work unless the 22nd amendment is removed from 2001-2016 or Clinton would get a third term and thus , Obama isn't even able to first run until 2016.

Well, Clinton doesn't have to win his 3rd term or even run for it in this scenario, so I don't see it as a problem.

This sub-forum is seriously lacking an Obama centered TL, so I voted for Four More Years.

Well, looks like the decision is pretty clear, though the vote was tight for for 2nd place- Four More Years  it is Cheesy
All of these remain options for my future Timelines, though, as I like them all. Especially the Israeli one could be plausibly started while the Obama TL is ongoing.
Thanks for voting, first post will be up soon!
