June 6, 2008- Unemployment at 5.6%.

June 7, 2008- Illinois Senator Barack Obama endorses Clinton and sets up several public appearances with her to support her campaign.

June 2008- Senator McCain vigorousely attacks Senator Clinton on all the issues and says that we are not in a recession that the economy is perfectly fine and offers several town hall debates to Clinton. Clinton agrees.

July 1, 2008- During the debate, McCain attacks Clinton on being soft on Iraq and Afghanistan and also on her health Care plan.

July 2, 2008- Unemployment at 5.8%

Excellent, but I feel sorry for Obama.

Good potential for a timeline, but there's no way McCain is even close in Illinois, let alone leading.

Yes, another "we really could win in 2008 yo stupid libruls"

Good start! :)
Some constructive critism: One poll had Illinois close early, but that is probably because many Obama supporters weren't voting Clinton. I guess they were trying to ruin her numbers to make Obama look better. Especially with Obama endorsing Clinton, she would be leading.
Pennyslvania would be an easy win for Clinton, and Washington wouldn't be for McCain. Neither would Hawaii.

Are you basing these numbers on anything?

pollster.com has a lot of old polls...43% Clinton in Hawaii to 39% McCain and that was in late February

Good so far, but I agree with everybody about Illinois, Washington, and Hawaii. I also doubt Minnesota would go for McCain. And I definitely don't see McCain leading by twelve points in Oregon.

July 6, 2008- During the 3rd town hall debate, Senator Clinton steps up the attacks on McCain on the economy and rising un-employment.





July 17- John McCain visits Iraq and returns saying that the surge has made Iraq a much safer place than when he last went.



August 1- Unemployment at 5.8%

August - Speculation rises over who Senator Clinton will pick for candidate for Vice President. Some names include- Indiana Senator Evan Bayh, Illinois Senator Barack Obama, Governor Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania and Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico.

August 8th - 16th The country of Georgia launches a military offense to capture Tskhinvali. The conflict ends on August 16th.


August 21st - Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton announces that she picks Illinois Senator Barack Obama as her running mate.


August 25th - During the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Indianapolis Former President Bill Clinton spoke in support for his wife's presidential campaign along with Caroline Kennedy and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell.



P.S- Timeline 2008-2050

I really think the Clinton/Obama ticket would do better in Iowa. McCain came in what, fourth place in Iowa? Obama won the state with a 10% margin.

They have a debate before they announce their VP picks?

No, they don't and Iowa will catch on very soon.

August 26th - The second night of the DNC started off with a well received speech by South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle. The speech was followed by Delaware Senator Joe Biden and Virginia Governor Tim Kaine.



August 27th - Among other speakers tonight, clearly Vice Presidential candidate Barack Obamas was the most anticipated and watched.

"As we look on tonight, I see a new vision of change. We need to elect Hillary Clinton as our President and bring change to Washington, America and the world!"


August 28th - On the final night of this convention, Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton Makes her address to the DNC.

"Today un-employment is at 5.8%. Next month it could be even higher and it could be you losing your job. Have you seen your economic situation get better over the past eight years? I didn't think so. We need to take the Republicans out of office and get our country out of this recession. John McCain isn't going to do that, and I am. Tonight at this Convention , I hope you make the right choice for President and even if your life is good now, think about others around you who could have it much worse off." ect...


August 29th - Republican candidate John McCain chooses Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander for vice president, shcoking many liberal pudints.

Lamar Alexander? Really?

September 1-3, 2008- The Start of the Republican National Convention  involved speeches by Cindy McCain, and Laura Bush.Speeches by President Bush and Joe Lieberman were canceled due to Hurricane Gustav. The following day, many keynote speeches were made by keynote speakers such as Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, and Mitt Romney. On September 3rd, the most watched speech was made by republican vice presidential candidate Lamar Alexander from Tennessee. Manor pundints were shocked by McCains pick. Alexander swept the floor tonight, speaking of how our economy is not as bad as the democratic opponents say and that our two wars are necessary to combat major criminals in our world.

September 3rd- Unemployment is at 6.1%, up .3% from last month.

September 4th- On the last night of te Republican national convention, after several other speeches republican nominee John McCain spoke and accepted his nomination.
"Thank you all very much. Tonight, I have a privilege given few Americans — the privilege of accepting our party’s nomination for President of the United States. And I accept it with gratitude, humility and confidence. In my life, no success has come without a good fight, and this nomination wasn’t any different. That’s a tribute to the candidates who opposed me and their supporters. They’re leaders of great ability, who love our country, and wished to lead it to better days. Their support is an honor I won’t forget. I’m grateful to the President for leading us in those dark days following the worst attack on American soil in our history, and keeping us safe from another attack many thought was inevitable; and to the First Lady, Laura Bush, a model of grace and kindness in public and in private. And I’m grateful to the 41st President and his bride of 63 years, and for their outstanding example of honorable service to our country."

September 7th- Several days after the end of both major party conventions, Senator Clinton airs an aid attacking the McCain campaign for not acknowledging the financial crisis and the 6.1% unemployement.

September 15th, 2008- The country is shocked by the bancrupcy of Lehman brothers. On August 20, John McCain said in an interview with Politico that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, owned; "I think — I'll have my staff get to you." Both on the stump and in Obama's political ad, "Seven", the gaffe was used to portray McCain as unable to relate to the concerns of ordinary Americans. This out-of-touch image was further cultivated when, on September 15, the day of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, at a morning rally in Jacksonville, Florida, McCain declared that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong," despite what he described as "tremendous turmoil in our financial markets and Wall Street." With the perception among voters to the contrary, the comment appeared to cost McCain politically.


September 20th- Lehman Brothers file for bankrupcy.

September 24th- 4 days after the Lehman Brothers collapse, both Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee John McCain suspend their campaigns and head to Capitol Hill to help craft a $700 billion bailout package for the troubled financial industry. Whether or not the first debate schedualed for the 26th wil take place, is currently unknown.

McCain-Alexander 2008!

In this scenario, I think Hillary would easily kick McCain's ass all the way to Arizona.

Thanks for the replies, guys! :)
Debates will be up tomorrow

Good TL.

September 26th 2008- After much speculation over whether the debate would occur, both John McCain and Hillary Clinton arrived at the University of Mississippi. Although the debate was planned to focus on foreign policy and national security, Jim Lehrer did devote the first half of the debate to the financial crisis. Over the course of the first half of the debate, Clinton easily blew McCain away on the financial crisis and hitting on key points such as unemployment, and that McCain had no plan for our failing economy until two days ago. After the talks of economics, McCain was able to bring the debate to somewhat of a standstill.



October 1st- Unemployment at 6.2%


October 2nd- The 2008 Vice Presidential Debate was held today at washington University. The questions varied on all topics, but in all Alexander hit at how little experiance Obama had, being only two years in the senate and in national government politics. Although Obama swept the floor with Alexander on the economy, like Clinton did with McCain, Alexander was able to hit Obama with many other issues such as family values, and education.


October 7th- The second presidential debate was held in Nashville townhall, and moderated by Tom Brokaw of NBC. With most of the past few weeks of news obsessing with the economy and major companies declaring bankrupcy, the focus of the debate was obvious, and so was the winner.


October 15th- Thr third and final Presidential debate was held at Hofstra University in Hempsted, New York. With there having been a month since the financial meltdown began, McCain was able to somewhat keep up with Clinton on the economy. Clinton promiseed that if she became president, that by the end of her term the millions of newly unemployed people would have there jobs back and would no longer live in fear. McCain was viewed in this debate as out-of-touch with the American people on this major subject as he continuesly focused on how to bailout Wall Street and major companies, while making little referance to the average American. On Foreign Policy, McCain was able to win some ground with his plan to have a 30,000 troop surge in Afghanistan and promise the Osama Bin Laden will be a captive of the US government by the end of his first term. Clinton meanwhile spent more time focusing on withdrawing troops in Iraq.

TL will continue till 2048 election

Sweet. I will be paying close attention all the way. Obama 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

October 18, 2008- Following all the debates, and Clinton's rising numbers, Senator McCain has been campaigning harder than ever. Senator Alexander has been in Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Missouri over the course of the past three days. Senator McCain has planned a trip across the country for the next ten days, visiting five different states each day.


October 21st- Visiting Pennsylvania today, Vice Presidential candidate Alexander blasted Clinton on education, saying that she did not have enough experience to help Americas failing schools.


October 22nd- Senator Clinton sent Senator Obama to respond to Alexanders criticism.

"I'm sorry Senator Alexander, but this isn't 1993. You haven't been in the education field in 15 years, what could you possibly know about our school systems today?


October 24th- Obama's comment was met by wide criticism by Republicans an independents. Although since we are in a recession, the comment was largely brushed off to focus on what people cared about the most--the economy.


October 29th- Following his 50 state trip, Senator McCain has returned with a new economic plan to cut taxes and earmark spending as well as help bailout several major companies, that he vows will go to the house as soon as he becomes President. An unnamed source claims that McCain does not plan to go through with his plan, and it is only a last ditch effort to defeat Clinton.


November 1st- Now in the days before the election, the Clinton has decided that due to poll numbers, they don't need to campaign anymore as the winner is already sealed.

"Goodbye Ohio, next time I see you it will be as President-elect of the United States." Clinton said in her last speech.


November 2nd- Unemployment at 6.6%

November 3rd, 2008- The day before the election, McCain's chances look grim as he heads to his last campaign stop in Richmond, Virginia.

Some polls, all reviews welcome. :)

5:50 PM- Welcome to Election Night, 2008! Recent polling has suggested that Senator Clinton has an upper-hand in the race, but never the less, we will watch every state, every county and every vote as the results come flying in. Half the polling stations in Kentucky and Indaina are closing on the hour, so we'll be right back!


RED STATES  mean that the contest has been won by Senator Clinton.
BLUE STATES mean the the contest has been won by Senator McCain.
GREEN STATES mean that the contest is too close to call.


6:12- We are starting to get some results in now, but both are too close to call. Most of the votes are coming from conservative rural areas.


7:00- The rest of the polls in Kentucky and Indiana and Kentucky are closed. Part of Florida polls have closed as well as full closing in several other states, wait! Hold that---we are now able to make a projection.

Good so far. I think Clinton will easily win.

7:30- With in the next few minutes we will be closing polling stations in Ohio and West Virginia. We can now make a projection.


8:00- It is now 8 o' clock and there are many polling stations closing right now. We are able to make several new projections.



8:30- With votes coming in from Arkansas and North Carolina, we can now make several other projections.

8:51- At the top of the hour, we will be able to make more projections, but as of right now, Clinton is leading and we can now make a projection--


9:00- Although Senator McCain has not led in New Hampshire for a while, he had certainly been hoping for a win here. Hold that-- we can now make several projections. We are also able to project the winner of Florida--


9:12- Now with more votes coming in by the minute, there we be no more poll closings for an hour, but we will update you with any projections as we make them--well, speak of the devil!


9:30-
9:38- We have one more visible projection for the hour and it does not look good for McCain, thats for sure.

Hillary will win. Go Obama 2016! BTW, what's the unemployment rate on election day?

President Clinton, I can live with that. ;)
Good job!

10:00- With a new round of votes in, we can now make several more projections.


10:21- We are now able to make four projections, split evenly, this election is certainly about to end any minute now....


10:41- We can now project that Senator Clinton will win Missouri. The New York Senator is now only one vote from 270, while McCain is down 106 votes.

Great timeline! :)

Thanks u guys! I'll add the full state results for Pres, Senate and Gubernatoral tomorrow. I'll start the Clinton Admin in a few days :D

I hope you talk a bit about the Presidetial transition.

results if the election were tied

(I'm not going into detail with the houses and governors this year, because they're the same as real life)

November 4th, 11:30 PM- Following the announcement that Senator Clinton is now President-elect Clinton, Senator McCain has made his concession speech at the Biltmore Hotel.

"Thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening. My friends, we have — we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly. A little while ago, I had the honour of calling Senator Hillary Clinton to congratulate her. To congratulate her on being elected the next president of the country that we both love. In a contest as long and difficult as this campaign has been, her success alone commands my respect for her ability and perseverance. But that she managed to do so by inspiring the hopes of so many millions of Americans who had once wrongly believed that they had little at stake or little influence in the election of an American president is something I deeply admire and commend her for achieving. I urge all Americans ... I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating her, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited. Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans. And please believe me when I say no association has ever meant more to me than that. It is natural. It's natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment. But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again. We fought — we fought as hard as we could. And though we feel short, the failure is mine, not yours."



12:00 AM, November 5th- Following McCain's Concession, President-elect Clinton has made her victory speech at her home in Chappaqua, New York.

"For everyone here across America who's ever been counted out but refused to be knocked out, and for everyone who has stumbled but stood right back up, and for everyone who works hard and never gives up, this one is for you. Tonight is not our victory. Our Victory is when every American has health care. When the economy is not in shambles. When do not have thousands of troops in two different country. Our victory is when every American has the peace and prosperity they deserve!"

November 6th, 2008- Following President-Elect Clinton's election, she met with President Bush today to tour the white house and discuss their policies.


November 19th- Today there was a Senate hearing on the automotive crisis in the presence of the heads of General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler. The auto manufacturers explained that they would need financial aid of $25 billion if they were to avoid bankruptcy. The Senate was divided on the issue. At the November 19, 2008 hearing, Gary Ackerman (D-NY) said, "Maybe you can tell us what you're actually going to do to sell cars people want," and Michael Capuano (D-Mass) said, "My fear is you're going to take this money and continue the same stupid decisions you've made for 25 years."


November 25th- Today, President Elect Clinton made the first announcement for her cabinet. She has chosen Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to be the Secratary of Treasury.

December 11th- Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich announces that Roland Burris will replace Vice President Elect Barack Obama in the Senate. New York Governor David Patterson announces that Kristin Gillibrand will replace President Elect Clinton in the Senate.

Good update. I wonder who Hillary will pick to replace Bernanke at the Fed. My guess is Paul Volcker.

Diane Denish is to replace Jeff Bingaman as the Senator of New Mexico.


Ted Kaufman is to replace Joe biden as the Senator of Delaware.

December 27th, 2008- At 11:30 AM, Israel launched an airstrike on the Gaza strip including 60 jets heading for 60 targets. It is said that Israel has been planning this for six months, and it is due to constant Missles going into Israel from militant groups such as Hamas that reside in the Gaza Strip.


December 29th- Israel launched a naval attack on the strip, including an attack on the ship Dignity that held a CNN reporter and former US Representative Cynthia McKinney.

January 18th- Israel implemented a unilateral ceasefire early Sunday and in announcing the ceasefire late Saturday, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Israel had achieved its goals and more, stating that "Hamas was hit hard, in its military arms and in its government institutions.

According to Olmert's statement, the ceasefire went into effect at 2 a.m. local time with the IDF warning that attacks on soldiers or civilians "will be met with a harsh response." If Hamas holds its fire, the military "will weigh pulling out of Gaza at a time that befits us," Olmert said. If not, Israel "will continue to act to defend our residents."


January 19th- The day before inauguration day, President Elect Clinton announces the final two members of her cabinet.

President Clinton shocked many when she announced that she has chosen Mitt Romney as the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This is the one choice, that nobody expected.


Gary Locke has been chosen as the secretary of commerce.

I wonder how HRC will handle the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Good timeline, but if I were to make a suggestion, try to find slightly smaller pictures, or somehow re-size them. (I don't know how)

January 20th, 2009- It is inauguration day today, and also President Bush's last day in office. This morning he left on his plane to his new home in Texas, likely grateful that the weight of this job is off his shoulders. He has left office leaving two wars, and a recession for the family that lived in the White House just before he did.



Hillary Clinton was inaugurated today at the white house. Following her inaugural address, she attended the inaugural parade, and than the inaugural ball. For this family, it wasn't moving to a new home, it was returning to your old one.


February 1st- Unemployment at 7.7%.

February 12th- Today President Clinton, put her first bill ino the House. It is an economic stimulus bill, holding $20 billion for the automakers, $200 billion for bailouts of other banks and major companies, and $300 billion for charities, private organizations, and financial support groups.

March 9th- Today, Secretary of State Joe Biden has been sent to the Gaza Strip to try and broker out a peace negotion between the Israelis and the Palestinians. The meeting has just begun in a hotel north of Gaza city. Commotion has been heard from outside of the room and it is leaked that Secretary of State Biden has been shot in the back of the neck by an angry radical Palestinian with a sniper. The attacker has not yet been identified and Biden has been transfered to an Gazan hospital. His condition is not yet know.

Say It isn't so Joe!!! Man I can't say I saw that one coming, I will be looking to see who Hilldawg picks to replace Biden(Maybe Hagel, Nunn or Webb?) and what other Domestic achievements she will try to strive for or will just focus her energies in getting Americans back to work...Keep it comming

I wonder whether the Teabaggers will take control of the GOP. Also, how is Palin doing in this TL?

Thankz, I'll try to add more tonight. :P


Palin's still Governor of Alaska. Don't worry, she'll come into the TL eventually. Somewhere between 2013-2020 is when she'll appear. :P

Max Baucus is a Democrat.

I changed it. thanku

March 11th, 2009- President Clinton, Vice President Obama, and others attended Bidens memorial today. His killer has been identified as Omar Nazil Abdulla. He has said that he did not attack Biden because, of Biden but because of his hatred for America as a whole. He said as many of his friends and family feel, that the Americans have done nothing to stop Israel from their attacks on the Palestinians. Biden's replacement has not been decided.


March 13th- After the dealth of Secretary Biden, many Americans no longer feel pity for the Palestinians. A new poll was released today by Rasmussen Reports.


March 14th- Former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine has been chosen to replace Biden as the Secretary of State.

didn't see Romney coming. I'd doubt he'd say yes so he could take a crack in 2012. Poor Joe, still thought he had some time to go....and sorry but Colorado would never vote Hillary ;)

What if Romney doesn't run in2012? And I think he's more likely than Huckabee or Palin to join the dems.

How would Colorado not vote clinton?

I like this a lot! Poor Joe. :'(

colorado hates the Clinton's. We are more libertarian's over here then anything else. Obama creamed her and didn't even try here. This is Romney country and Obama country. No room for anyone else unless you're coming from a western state

If Obama won Colorado by 8% (I believe), Hillary would have won it. I don't see 4% of Colorado voters (who voted for Obama) deciding to vote for McCain if Hillary was the nominee, especially after the financial crisis.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statewide_opinion_polling_for_Hillary_Clinton_for_the_United_States_presidential_election,_2008#Colorado (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statewide_opinion_polling_for_Hillary_Clinton_for_the_United_States_presidential_election,_2008#Colorado)

Yeah, if McCain was up 3 points against her in May, I highly did he was still ahead after the financial crisis, and Obama being on the ticket as VP.

March 28th- President Clinton released a timetable for Iraq today so that all troops will be removed by 2013. 25% of the troops will be withdrawn from the country by the end of 2009, and so forth until 2014 where there will be no troops left in Iraq.


April 1st, 2009- Unemployment at 8.4%.

January 12th- Once thought of as a low key candidate, Mitch Daniels has made it clear that he is here to win. He has been campaigning hard in Iowa, and so far it so seems to be paying off. The most recent poll in the state conducted by Rasmussen, finds Pawlenty is now down to a five point spread against Daniels.


January 15th- With one day before Iowa, Santorum has decided to head towards South Carolina to try and throw over Gingrich. Pataki has devoted his recent campaigning to New Hampshire, with recent polling showing him in a dead heat there with Pawlenty.

Analysis- As expected Pawlenty did carry the state, but Daniels did come closer than expected. There was low turnout Gingrich, Pataki, and Barbour voters in the state.

January 17th- Following winning less than one percent in the Iowa caucuses, Mike Pence announced today in Indianapolis that he will drop his bid for President and endorse Mitch Daniels for President.


January 20th- In Houston today, Rick Perry announced that he will suspend his bid for president. Perry has not yet announced his endorsment, if any.

Febuary 2nd- Following garnering only two and a half percent in the South Carolina Primary, Haley Barbour announced today that he is suspending his campaign for presidency and endorsing Newt Gingrich.


February 5th- With the Republican race now down to five, the race is getting closer than ever. Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, and Pawlenty is expected to hold an overall mild win due to most of the primaries on Super Tuesday being Pawlenty Leaning states. At this point, nobody knows who will come out on top as the republican nominee.

This is very good. I hope Hillary's approvals turn around, though. :)

February 7th, 2012- Tim Pawlenty definately made big wins last night, carrying 7 of the fifteen states up for grabs, and spreading his delegate lead to a 47 point margin. He is expected to gain momentum even though his win was smaller than expected. The next primaries in Maryland, and Kentucky won't take place until March 6th.


February 9th- Mitch Daniels makes an announcement in Indianapolis.

"I have come here today to make an announcement. Being the only candidate not to win any states so far, and being in a five way race, I believe my decison is final. I wish to suspend my candidacy for the presidency of the United States because frankly, I don't want to be the one who's is stopping our nominee from reaching the number needed to win the nomination. Tomorrow I will formally endorse Rick Santorum. Thank you for your support, America."


February 16th- Republican primary polling one week after Daniels leaves the race.


February 20th- News aside from the primaries hit the stand today when Gaza fired twenty missiles into the heart of Jerusleum. This follows Israel announcing more settlements in the west bank.

February 22nd- President Clinton announced today that there are no plans to get involved in the gazan conflict. She said that there is no need for the US to get involved, and that Israel should have seen it coming to them.


February 26th- Rick Santorum hammered Pawlenty today, attacking him for supporting President Clinton's plan to not defend Israel. Pawlenty's new position has brought him to a standstill with Santorum among conservatives.


March 1st- Unemployment at 9.0%

March 3rd- Just three days before, the first primaries after super tuesday, Newt Gingrich made an announcement in Atlanta.

"We've come long and hard in this race, but it looks like our time has passed. Just as Mitch Daniels before me, I wish to suspend my candidacy for the presidency of the United States. I wish Santorum good luck, for I shall give him my endorsement tomorrow morning. For we do need a New face in the Republican Party, not an old one like mine."


March 5th- Republican primary polling after Gingrich's announcement.


March 6th-
March 9th- George Pataki made an announcement today in New York City.

"I have come here today to announce the end of my campaign for the presidency. The only places I can win big are the liberal states, and by the time there primary dates come I should be a good few hundred delegates behind my nearest competitor. So goodbye, New York, I will see you again tomorrow when I endorse Tim Pawlenty for president."


March 12th- With Pataki out of the race and most of his supporters going to Pawlenty, the race is as tight as ever once again. The primaries tomorrow are to be held in Wisconsin, and Alabama.


March 13th-
March 14th- With Pawlenty winning big in Wisconsin, and Santorum winning big in Alabama, the overall vote was split between the two. At this point, the race could go either way.

March 24th- The first quadrant of troops were withdrawn from Afghanistan today, beginning the two and a hald year time table set by President Clinton last year.


March 27th-

awh, I wanted Gingrich to win.

I'd rather take Pawlenty, even though he's pretty boring

Oh God, don't let Santorum win this one...I would pull a Limbaugh and high tail it to Costa Rica for four years.

Good TL though.  Looking forward to the general election.

Very interesting!!

I wanted Pataki to win....

March 28th, 2012- With wins in Arkansas and Missouri last night, Santorum has gained even more momentum, and is trailing Pawlenty by 10 delegates. The question now is, Can Pawlenty make a come back?

April 8th- During the sixth republican primary debate, now down to two, Pawlenty attacked Santorum for saying that the United States should not support a two state solution and that we should have intevened in the West Bank conflict.


April 10th-
April 12th- Even though Santorum won both Texas, and Oklahome big last night, and narrowed Pawlenty's delegate lead to 9, Pawlenty still claims the race is his. This claim may be true, because the next few states are seen as Pawlenty favorable.


April 16th- With tomorrows primaries in Colorado, and Utah, Santorum is looking ahead and campaigning in North Carolina, Tennessee, Arizona, and California which all take place in late May.

April 25th- Former Minnesota Governor celebrated yet another victory today, being the first candidate to pass 500 delegates.


April 29th- The next primaries to be held on May 8th, are Massachussets, Connectuct, New Jersey, Virginia , and Indiana. Tim Pawlenty is hoping that big wins on that day could make him the front runner for the nomination.


May 1st- Unemployment at 8.9%

May 3rd- Returning from Israel today, President Clinton announced that she was succesful in making a yearlong peace deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Seeing that unemployment dropped below nine percent this month, President Clinton declared it as a safe, and that ten percent is now just a bad memory.

May 15th-

PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!

Go Clinton, go!!

OBAMA 2016!

Hillary would wipe the floor with Santorum, it will be interesting to see who either Pawlenty or Santorum pick as their running mate. Keep it comming

Ugh. I can't believe I'm saying this, but go Pawlenty.

May 16th, 2012- Even though Pawlenty and Santorum won an even amount of states last night, Pawlenty won a huge delegate majority and spread his delegate lead even further. Ever since the sixth debate, Pawlenty has been riding new momentum to big victories in some big states. The next primaries are in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Georgia on June 5th.


May 20th- While just beginning a troop withdrawl plan from Afghanistan, the Taliban has been remounting, and Osama Bin Laden is still on the loose. Violence has been rising, and Republicans have been debating to end the withdrawl plan.



May 27th- During the seventh republican primary debate, Pawlenty and Santorum fought evenly, both appealing to their own secters of the party.


June 1st- Unemployment at 8.9%

June 4th- On the eve of the next primaries, Santorum pushes to win in Ohio, Georgia, and of course his home state Pennsylvania. Ohio has recently become a tossup due to Pawlenty's rising momentum, and Santorum's super conservativeness.


June 5th-
June 6th- While Pawlenty did win big last night, it was not enough, with primaries in New York on the 12th, and in Florida on the 19th Pawlenty would have to win approximately 80% of the vote in the rest of the primaries to win the nomination. The race drags on.


June 10th- With odds against him in New York, Santorum has decided to spend the last few days of the campaign in Florida to try and appeal to the jewish vote, and win back support he lost there when Pataki endorsed Pawlenty.


June 11th- A poll by Gallup is released.


June 12th-
June 14th- Now 103 delegates down from the magic number, Pawlenty would have to win 90% of the vote in Florida to win the nomination. The race can officially declared a wild fire.


June 18th- One day away from the most important night in this election so far, Pawlenty is hoping to win as big as possible. Santorum has not even been seeking to win, just do as well as possible.


June 19th-
June 20th- Chaos struck last night, as the primaries have ended and no candidate has a majority of the vote. Pawlenty is down 54 delegates, and nobody knows who will win. The race could be desided any minute.


June 21st- We are now able to confirm that former presidential candidate Newt Gingrich will donate all of his delegates to Rick Santorum. Neither candidate yet has a majority of the votes.




PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pawlenty will win, Pataki and probably Daniels will support him.

June 23rd- Four days after the last primary, Republican startegists worry that the fight will last too the convention. Insiders are sceptical.


June 24th- At 1 o'clock this afternoon George Pataki announced that he will donate all of his delegates to Tim Pawlenty.



June 25th- Now with a presumptive nominee for both parties, the race is on for 2012!

Please bring this timeline past 2048

uhhh... I have no clue what to do past there, but I'll see what pple think when I get there

that's a long way off

Out of curiousity, how are you going to get the timeline to 2048? By 2048, most, if not all, of the politicians we know today won't be in the political scene, and new politicians that we don't know from out of nowhere will be prominent. Are you going to make up characters? Are you going to use the children of current politicians, like I don't know, George P. Bush or something? Just wondering.

i'll start making up characters by 2028. I'm gonna try and find young state representitives ect. first though

Ah, gotcha. It would be hilarious if you had someone famous who isn't into politics decided to get into politics and eventually became President (just like how Reagan was originally an actor). Can you say...President Miley Cyrus? :o DEAR GOD....lol

Suri Cruise for president 2052

Go Hillary 2012!

Sasha Obama 2048!!
Chelsea Clinton 2028!!
George W. Bush V 2056!!! (It's a joke, I hate the Bush family hahahaha)

July 1st, 2012- Unemployment at 8.8%

I can't imagine Ron Paul as the Tea Party candidate. And I don't think he'll pick Medina as his runnung mate. She's from texas too.

I will post update later today or tomorrow.

August 20th, 2012- The 2012 Democratic National Convention began tonight with speeches from several Governors and Senators.


August 22nd- As with the past two conventions, the major speaker of the third night was Barack Obama. The vice president spoke about President Clinton's acheivments, and how no president since Johnson has been able to pass a Health Care bill, so there is no reason to place the blame on her.


August 23rd- On the final night of the convention, President Clinton spoke.

"We have come long and hard over the past few years. Our administration has seen it's ups and downs over the past few years, as have many others. One of the biggest problems my Health Care plan faced was that the Republicans refused to place more than one vote for the Bill. There bickering is still very much present, as they have two different nominees for President. The recession is over, and unemployment has been going down. We are withdraing troops from Afghanistan, and most are out from Iraq. What more could a President do in four years? What I ask for is more time.

Great job following through with your TL.

Hmm...I kinda would like to see Ron Paul pick someone to kind of balance the ticket a little bit than just two former Republicans and Age wise. Why not go with Fiscally Conservative, and Socially Moderate Democratic Senator Evan Bayh as running mate. Someone who could definatley bolster his claims fo not being a fringe candidate you know?

August 26th-27th, 2012- The first two days of the Republican National Convention began with speeches from many republicans. Some of the key speakers were John McCain, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Eric Cantor, and Mitt Romney.


August 28th- The obvious key note speaker of tonight was Vice Presidential Candidate Bobby Jindal. He called for a return to arms in the middle east, and emphasized about the Republicans parties need for a new face. One that, Ron Paul wasn't offering.


August 29th- Excerpt from Pawlenty's convention speech.

"I came here to change what is happening America. Unemployment is still much higher than it was four years ago, when Clinton entered office. We have the president making timetables for a country in which we never succeeded in. I ask you, is this the change you asked for? Are your better off than you were four years ago?"


September 1st- Unemployment at 8.4%

September 4th- Ron Paul announces that he has picked Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential nominee. The choice was suprising to most columists.

Sarracudah...Eww(Guess you didn't take the advice from the Texas Democrat)

No, I want to use Bayh later on.

Septemebr 8th, 2012- While choosing Governor Palin as his vice presidential candidate, Paul has recieved a temporary bump among deep conservatives. Unfortunately for him, his support seems to have hit a wall at elevan percent, with not a single poll with him above that number.

September 25th- Many Ron Paul supporters protested today, upon news that Ron Paul would not be able to attend the debate due to lack of support in the polls.


September 26th- During the first debate, the topic of the night was the economy. Pawlenty continuestly attacked the President on staid unemployment numbers, and for the fact that she has been in office for four years long enough to deal with these problems. President Clinton responded to these attacks by talking about the benefits of her several bailout plans, and her energy jobs bill.


October 1st- Unemployment at 8.5%

October 2nd- Tonight was the night of the first and last vice presidential debate. Vice President Obama, and Governor Jindal traded even blows with eachother tonight on topics ranging from Afghanistan to Cap-and-Trade.


October 7th- Suring the second Presidential debate, the topic of the night was foriegn policy. President Clinton attacked Pawlenty on the republican party's stance on the Israeli conflict and Afghanistan. Pawlenty also hit the president heavily on Afghanistan, calling for a return to arms in a country were many american lives are at stake.


October 13th- Within days of the final Presidential debate, General Stanley McCrystal can now confirm from Afghanistan that Osama Bin Laden is not within the country. The republican's are scrambling for a new position. President Clinton has yet to reply.


October 15th- Both presidential candates avoided the recent news tonight, and spoke about the enviroment. President Clinton spoke about the effectiveness of her Cap-and-Trade Bill, and Energy Jobs Plan. Governor Pawlenty made little comments.

November 5th- One day before the election, the president is still fumbling for an answer, and the republican party is still fumbling for one candidate to be on the ballot. Nobody knows who will win, and many don't want to know.



PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!

Great job! :)

5:50 pm- Welcome to Election Night, 2012! Recent polling has suggested that this rcae might be the tightest race in history, as President Clinton fumbles to maintain her previously small lead. We have Ron Paul running as a relatively strong (for a third party) candidate tonight. The first polls are closing in Indiana, and Kentucky, and here we go!


RED STATES mean the contest has been won by President Clinton.
BLUE STATES mean that the contest has been won by Governor Pawlenty.
YELLOW STATES mean that the contest has been won by Congressmen Paul
GREEN STATES mean that the contest is too close to call.

6:09 PM- With results coming in from both first states, we can now make our first projection of the night, and it will go to Governor Pawlenty.

Interesting stuff! :D Can't wait to see how the election plays out!

Clinton might win in a spoiler. :(

I hope not!

Could Ron Paul pull off the biggest upset of all time? We can only hope. ;D

7:30 pm- At this time, polls will be closing in Ohio, and West Virginia and we can not make any projections at the time.


8:00 PM- With several polling stations ready to close at the top of the hour, we will now be able to make some prejections.

This is intense! :D

Gah, the TL version of a cliffhanger.

MORE. :D

Go Clinton! Paul will hurt Pawlenty and Clinton will probably win =)

8:17 PM- We can now project the winner of Georgia.


8:30 PM- With polls now closing in North Carolina, and Arkansas we can now project more states. Ron Paul seems to be performing above expectations in Texas,


9:00 PM- It is now the top of the hour, and we have alot more states to project. We can now also say that President Clinton will lose her homestate Arkansas this time around.

continue, I can't wait to see your next post!

9:30 PM- Although there are no polls closing at the moment, we can now comfortably make several more projections.


10:00 PM- With more polls closing in the Rocky's, we can now project six more states.


(Who do you think will win/want to win?)

Well, I want Ron Paul to win ;D, but that's mathematically impossible at this point. :( I think Clinton will edge a small victory, but its a tossup either way. Maybe the election gets thrown to the house?

Paul won't win, but he can stop Clinton or Pawlenty from reaching 270. At this point, I don't know what's going to happen, though that is a possibility

Ya, that's the best Paul can do, because Clinton and Pawlently have more than 270 electoral votes combined. Paul could however, carry Alaska.

How is Texas right now?

Close three way.

more!!!

10:33 PM- With 27 minutes to go before all of the polls in the lower 48 are closed, we can now make one more projection for Governor Pawlenty.


11:00 PM- With most of the polls now closed, we can now project several more states.. but still not a winner.


11:21- After some hard thinking, we can now project two more states. One for each candidate.

Woot

Electoraljew, please, post the final result, I can't wait more, I want to know who is the winner NOW.
Go, Clinton!! You only need to win Pennsylvania and Florida!!!!!!

12:00 AM- With all states now closed, we can safely make three more projections. Alaska will be closely contested.


12:41 AM- We can now project the Rep. Paul will win his first, maybe only state.

PAUL CARRIED A STATE?! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ;D

Wow, this is really exciting! :) Keep it up!

I'm suddenly very interested in how the Congressional elections are turning out.

Interesting, indeed.

Here's a thought; give Pawlenty FL and Clinton PA (letting the states fall towards their natural political leanings), and then toss WI to Pawlenty (regional pride or something like that) and CO to Clinton (she and Obama motivate Hispanics to carry the state) so we can have a 268-267 situation with Paul holding the balance of power in the Electoral College.

Hmmm, who would Paul support?  What's his asking price?

IMO Paul would finally support Pawlenty, but I'm not sure...

Electoraljew, what were the results of Texas?

I will post the full state results in the same manner as the 2008 results.

Gosh dang you! :P I was hoping this would be an update! ;)

1:15 AM- Clinton fans in Florida can now stop holding their breath as we can now call the state for the president.


1:57 AM- We can now call the state of Colorado for Governor Pawlenty.


2:32 AM- With only one state left to call, neither candidate has reached 270 votes.

If Pennsylvania goes for Paul, this election will be the best I've ever seen hahahahaha...

BAH CLIFFHANGER. :(

Looking forward to the thrilling conclusion. :D

i have bated breath\

4:43 AM- Alas, we can now confirm that President Clinton has narrowly won re-election. Governor Pawlenty has called the President, and will make his concession speech shortly.


(Note, the second option in the thread poll is suppose to say 2008-2016, not 2008-2026)

Alas? Gee, the media wasn't biased at all in this race, was it? :P

Oh, YES!!!! Pawlenty would have been a terrible president =) !!!

Texas' results, please!

Any chance to see Senate and governor races, too? Just out of curiosity. :)

After the full presidential results.

(State Results later today or tomorrow)

Great TL!!!! I'd love to see Hilrod's 2nd term!!! Keep working on it (:

Nice results, though it's Becky, not Beck Skillman. ;)

5:00 AM November 7th. 2012- Governor Pawlenty appeared to concede this morning in Minneapolis.

"I came here tonight to congratulate President Clinton on her victory. It has been a long grueling battle, and athough we lost, I, and I hope my supporters accept our defeat. If it is what America thinks is right, then this must be what is right for our country. I called President Clinton earlier to congratulate her on victory. We did however, win both houses tonight...

*Applous*

...And now it is time for both parties to unite and fight our problems togethor. Good night, and god bless America!"


6:00 AM, November 7th- The President thanks supporters on the White House Lawn,

"This night, four years ago I was elected President of the United States. And tonight, I'm gonna be kept in office for another four years! We can now continue to put our country in the path of progress! We can make this country and better place , and this world along with it!...

...Thank you America, and Good Night!"


CNN can now confirm that Ron Paul refuses to concede, and demands a recount because he believes the election was rigged.

Any thoughts before I go into Hillary's second term?

November 2012- Following President Clinton's reelection, the President has not yet announced any changes to his cabinet. with The GOP taking both the Senate, and the House, new Speakers have been chosen this month to fill in the positions of Ron Wyden, and Nancy Pelosi. Eric Cantor (R-VA) will be the New Speaker of the House. Mitch McConnell will be the new Senate Majority Leader. Senator Wyden walked home today with a solemn face, having a record short reign of two years. The White House has been kept safe so far with no major news out of Afghanistan, or Pakistan.

Very good! :)

The next update (Jan-Mar) should be up tomorrow morning.

Anyway...

January 2013- With finally having all troops out of Iraq after ten long years, the President made a victory speech today in Baghdad. President Clinton stayed in Iraq until the 18th, talking with the Iraqi's Leaders, and overseeing Iraqi civilians help rebuild the country without American soldiers watching them. It was a grand day for the Iraqi people, and the Democratic Party. On the twentieth, President Clinton was re-inaugurated on Capital Hill with cheers from all across America. Nothing had been heard of yet from the missing explosives in Pakistan. Unemployment reached 8.2% this month. All was good.


February 2013- Unemployment stood still at 8.2% this month. Terror struck oversea's again, although not from Al Qaeda or the Taliban. Iran announces plans on the tenth to launch a ground invasion of Iraq. By the end of the month, 50,000 Persian troops were on the ground. The President and the UN, have had strongly condemned and sanctioned Iran for it's acts. Washington is furious.


March 2013- Unemployment raised to 8.3% this month. Following Iran's actions, North Korea has sent 25,000 of it's own troops into the South. South Korea is strongly fighting back, and the Associated Press can now confirm the South Korea has received military reinforcements from Japan. President Clinton confirmed on the 21st that The US will deploy 10,000 troops to South Kore to help out. While having her Approval Rating brought down form the two foreign invasion's, she still seems to have a bump from the ende of the Iraq war.

Very nice. Keep it coming.

April 2013- Unemployment dropped to 8.1% this month. The White House has not yet announced any military plans for North Korea, or Iran, and has instead decided to focus on economic issues. Democrats in the house have begun debating a bill to legalize marijuana this month, along with plans to develop a progessive tax. Israel launched several airstikes on Tehran later in the month.

I thought this TL was dead. Nice to see it coming back!

Bump. This is a wonderful TL :D

I'll update this sooner or later. It's just so boring doing the non election stuff after 2012. Once it gets to 2015, it'll go back to normal pace. (Update every day or so)

And I have two interactive tls I'm doing as you know, so I don't that much time for this right now. I'm definately not ditching this though.

Yes, your TL is very interesting. And you are made to write TL: continue, please!

You can spice up the non-political seasons by throwing in stuff about social and/or technological changes as well.  This website might give you some ideas:

2013- Throughout the rest of the year, recovery from the recession remained sluggish leaving off at 7% in December. In October, Iran ended it's combat mission in Iraq after strong intervention by the UN. The war in Korea continues, athough briefly stalled due to the transition of power between Kim Jong Il, and his son. Both democratic bills failed, after being blocked by the newly republican congress. Republicans kept the Virginia Governor's race, while Democrats won in New Jersey when Christie declined to run for a second term.

2014- In the Korean War, the South has begun to gain an upperhand, and now has less than half the casualties of the north. In other news this year, Steve Jobs died of cancer, along with JOhn McCain, and former President Jimmy Carter. The main headlines of the year were the incredibly close midterms. The Republicans kept the House.

Go South Korea!!!!!!!!!!! And RIP to Steve Jobs, John McCain, and Jimmy Carter

What's Romney doing right now? I gather he's not the heir apparent to any Republican nomination given that he's been in Hillary's cabinet and tried to work for Universal Healthcare on a national level. Will he run for Senate or something in the future?
