Describe (In all seriousness) the American Presidency of the preceding poster, including that person's margin(s) of victory, presidency and post-presidency.

Start with me...and PLEASE make a serious answer.

[MODU]

Marginal.  Won by less than 10% EVs.  Probably would be a split Congress due to some polarizing decisions, with Senate being Republican, House being Democrat.  No major change on the international scene.  Faded into the crowd following your single term, only popping up for fund raising and guest speaking duties.

In all seriousness?

The preceding poster did never run for the Presidency, and would not have won it if he had.

[bullmoose88]

Stillborn given constitutional requirements

[Reaganfan]

A two-term moderate Republican, elected twice by 300+EV victories, much like President Eisenhower.

[afleitch]

Elected with 271 votes on the EC and a narrow lead in the popular vote; his opponent only conceded a month later. Pursued a succesful, but divisive foreign policy, but domestically was proven to be weak. Faced inner city riots before his second campaign and lost the subsequent election.

[MasterJedi]

Two term President elected with upper 200 to lower 300 EV's. I don't see much happening during his term, at least there would be nothing bad. Relative time of peace and stability.

[Reaganfan]

Comes out of the GOP Primary as a dark horse, ends up narrowly winning with about 270-280 EV. Presidency begins quiet, but things get active foreign policy-wise. Re-elected narrowly with 280-290 EV.

[Dr. Cynic]

Wins the Presidency by a bare margain of electoral votes, and possibly loses the popular vote.

His Presidency is undermined by his rabid partisanship and lack of ability to get Democrat or Independant support for his domestic agenda, and his bellicose stance of foreign policy causes massive protests and collapses his administration from the inside out.

He loses his re-election bid, after putting up a brave fight.

[Speed of Sound]

Sweeps into power after 4 years of opposing power that are miserable. Is given enough time by the general happiness with a new leader to lay down a solid beginning to most of his plans, but, due to the controversy over some of his policies, gets few done while wrestling with the legislature in his first term and, after being re elected in a far closer matchup, wrestling with the people over the mre partisan issues. Most likely goes down in history in the middle of the pack both for the good he was able to do, and the good he wasnt able to.

[opebo]

Good Times!  He institutes good liberal economic polices - though I suspect not quite as redistributive as I would like. 

How he came to power I can't imagine.. maybe a natural 'disaster' that kills off most of the rural dullards nationwide and entirely eliminates the South.

[Joe Republic]

As a ticket-balancing vice president, he inherited the presidency after the incumbent Democratic president unexpectedly died.  Trying to continue his predecessor's work, he gradually began to shift from those liberal policies towards a generally more conservative streak.  Succeeding only in alienating the liberals, his support within the party wanes.  After making several gaffes and bizarre public statements, and finally being 'outed' as gay in quite an extraordinarily scandalous way, his approval ratings become anemic.  Opting to run for election in his own right, but widely considered to be destined for a loss in the general election, he is challenged for the party nomination.  After losing several key primaries, he drops out of the race.

[opebo]

Just another right-wing Republican or Clintonesque democrat.  Misery for the masses.  Gets elected easily though of cousre.

[MODU]

Never made it on enough state ballots to be considered a serious candidate (fails to win the Dem primaries), but does pick up Mass as his only EVs due to ballot splitting between the Dems and Reps.

[John Dibble]

His presidency is nothing spectacular, but he's certainly not a hated president. Has decent approval ratings while in office. The election was somewhat close.

[jokerman]

An initially sucessful Democratic President is currently in office in the third year of his first term.  Few Republicans want to challenge him.  Rep. John Dibble of Georgia mounts a dark hourse candidacy, and, promising a return to the Republican Party of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, wins the nomination.  Meanwhile this Democratic President has become bogged down in a foreign war and the economy is beginning to slow.  Dibble runs on a platform of conclusion of the war, small government and a balanced budget.  He started the campaign 15 points behind after clinching the nomination, but begins to pull ahead of the current President as September rolls by.  The President makes a few strong attempts to get the race back in his hands during the debates, but when election day rolls around Dibble wins the popular vote by about 5 points and the electoral vote comfortably.

He pushes through a government reform package during his first few months, including tax reduction, spending cuts, and regulatory cuts.  He eventually ends the war, however in a less noble way than most would prefer.  As the term passes, he is failing in his promise to balance the budget as congress has rejected most of his further substantial spending cuts.  Dibble vetos a popular education bill and his approval ratings begin to sink.  The Democratic Party makes gains during the midterm elections, and combine with a group of moderate Republicans to overturn most of Dibble's vetos on domestic policy.  Dibble is now essentially a lame duck, and his approval ratings are rather low.  The idealism that fired his run for President now hinders his administration.

Dibble declines to run again.  A series of Democratic candidates, all heavily critical of President Dibble, vie for the nomination and one of the moderate GOP leaders opposing Dibble wins the Republican nomination.  The Democrats nominate a staunchly liberal candidate who manages to beat in the general election the GOP nominee, whose candor and sincerity is doubted by the electorate.  He leaves office with a regret for having been involved in the business of politics.

[Citizen James]

In a not-quite-suprising upset, John Dibble mixes a centrist colition of disenfranchised republicans and conservative democrats to split the south, pick up much of the rust belt, and most of the western states.

Though originally disdained by many congress for being a third party candidate, he wins over would be fascists by encouraging them to take up smoking. 

An number of compromise measures are passed, gradually decreasing redundnacy in government operation, increasing individual liberties for American citizens, and a greater transperancy in government. 

Both parties try to quietly court his membership, while some fellow libertarians complain loudly that he is actually a "damn statist" and try to get him thrown out of the party.

He easily wins renomination anyway with a swelling base of "reform libertarians" made up of former centrists from both parties while the hardcore purists break off to form their own party.

Minus their center, the two parties nominate someone more partisan candidates, and dibble picks up reelection easily.

A few minor scandals pop up - some having to do with staffers now participating in now legal activities, a few with his supposed connections to xenu made by a certain cult, and one very silly one because of his lack of an official position on communist strippers.

Heck - I'd seriously consider voting for him.  He's a bright guy.

[John Dibble]

Is a dark horse until he wins the early primaries, locking in the nomination. Ultimately wins the election by a comfortable margin against a lackluster Republican candidate, partially due to his general likeability and his ability to come off as a moderate.

Having to deal with a Demoratic house and a Republican Senate, he works towards a compromise bill to get his primary campaign promise put into law. After going through a few changes, it is passed easily.

During his first year he has high approval ratings and manages to improve international relations. The economy does relatively well.

He easily wins the nomination to run for his second term. The Republicans field a rather strong candidate, but President James still manages to win due to his past performance.

One year into his second term there is an outbreak of anthrax. Over 3000 people die. Numerous Republicans quickly blame Al-Queda and point the finger at President James because 'it happened on his watch'. Within a week investigations reveal the anthrax was planted in packaged beef in a number of supermarkets across the country. A radical animal-rights group, later found to be an offshoot of the Animal Liberation Front, claims responsibility.

President James mobilizes the FBI and other domestic law enforcement agencies to hunt down the culprits. Many key members of the group are captured, but the group leader is still at large by the time President James' second term is over.

His popularity is significantly lower at the point of leaving office due to this, but his approval ratings are still at a decent level. His vice president wins a close race against the Republican candidate, and a few months later the terrorist leader is caught.

[Kevin]

A Liberterian President who pursues Liberterian ecnomic policies, In the end he turns out kind of like another President Reagan.

[Flying Dog]

Elected with 290-300 electoral votes. Considered a moderate president by todays standards. Doesnt make any landmark decisions and is described as a "Status Quo" President. Loses in a close 2nd term race with 49% of the vote and 250-260 EV to a more charasmatic moderate Democrat.

[SPC]

Enstates universal health care and withdraws from Iraq. Inflation rises and the price of oil rises to $12 a gallon. He ultimately doesn't seek a second term and leaves office with a 36% approval rating.

[Reaganfan]

Elected President in a very close race against a formidable democrat. He enters office without a real mandate, but narrowly wins re-election. A 50-50 President after 8 years.

[Gabu]

Wins election due to the Democrat being an incompetent far-left campaigner.  Is widely regarded as ineffective and perceived as not really knowing what to do.  Loses re-election.

[MasterJedi]

Moderate President who tries to not offend anyone while in office. Moderate policied passed, nothing major or controversial. Elected twice by large margins.

[jokerman]

I did an interesting write-up but got skipped so here's this for you all:

Uncontroversial President winning solid victory over generic Democrat, Presidency is moderate on domestic policy and socially conservative.  Goes on some neocon foreign policy adventures; for the most part is sucessful.  Reelected with hearty support form the American people.
