The Rise of the Machines, Pt. 1
Having beaten the more conservative George W. Bush in the Republican primaries, McCain, believing that his "maverick" style was on the rise, decided to make the history-making pick of fellow centrist Susan Collins for Vice President. This would prove his undoing in the general election, as, in a race where both major party nominees failed to satisfy the base, Gore nevertheless won out.

Vice President Albert Gore, Jr. (D-TN)/Senator Joseph I. Lieberman (D-CT) 298 electoral votes, 48.0% of the popular vote
Senator John S. McCain (R-AZ)/Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) 240 electoral votes, 47.5% of the popular vote
Mr. Ralph Nader (I-CT)/Ms. Winon LaDuke (I-MN) 3.0% of the popular vote
Mr. Patrick J. Buchanan (R-VA)/Ms. Ezola Foster (R-CA) .9% of the popular vote
Others: .6% of the popular vote

2004 Republican Primaries
Having lost the nomination four years earlier, Texas Governor George W. Bush was not to be denied. With the moderate vote split and grassroots conservatives uniting with big money behind the Texan, Bush won the nomination easily. While Gore had considered dumping Lieberman throughout his second half, it was clear he would need to play up his "national security" credentials against the hawkish Republican ticket of Bush and Giuliani. Gore's paleo-liberal Vice President was the best way for him to do that.

2004
Despite an energetic campaign by Bush, Gore was able to use the advantage of incumbency to his advantage. Pouring vast amount of money into Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida, he was able to tap into suburbanites and blue collar workers who he convinced shouldn't be moved to "change horses in mid-stream" despite "Republican attempts at fear-mongering". Defending his administration's record on the war, he asked Americans which party had kept them safe after 9/11 and was delivered victory. Lieberman's attempts to achieve heavy Jewish turnout were helpful as well.

President Albert Gore, Jr. (D-TN)/Vice President Joseph I. Lieberman (D-CT) 307 electoral votes, 50.2% of the popular vote
Governor George W. Bush (R-TX)/Former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani (R-WY) 231 electoral votes, 49.2% of the popular vote
Mr. Ralph Nader (I-CT)/Mr. Peter Camejo (I-CA) 0 electoral votes, .4% of the popular vote
Others: .2% of the popular vote

2008 Democratic Primaries
The Democrats sustained heavy losses in 2006 for a multitude of reasons: the souring economy, another unpopular Gore tax hike, the failing war effort in Afghanistan, a number of smaller semi-successful terrorist attacks, and Gore's attempts to turn the national agenda towards the environment in the midst of all this. The party would even lose in solidly liberal states such as New York where popular incumbent Hillary Clinton went down to plurality-winner Rudy Giuliani. Meanwhile, Republicans won both the House and the Senate. This set the tone for the 2008 primaries in which Vice President Lieberman would have to defend the administration while being besieged from both the right and the left. While Howard Dean would lead a civil liberties and anti-war campaign, Senator John Edwards of North Carolina campaigned on a centrist, populist, and hawkish platform. Despite largely left-of-center rhetoric, Edwards' attitudes and image would appeal to Southern and conservative Democrats who liked neither the "hippie" nor the "Jew". Despite the Democrats being tired of nominating Southerners, by building a coalition of lower-class and Southern whites, Latinos, and blacks, Edwards was able to trump his two opponents. In order to appeal to non-Southern interests and women, Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius was selected for Vice President.

2008 Republican Primaries
Despite both Giuliani and Collins hoping to benefit from what was perceived as a "conservative loss" in 2004, such was not to be due to the emergence of a new frontrunner after his 2006 re-election. In 2004, in an effort to appeal to immigrants and win votes in the South-West, Gore endorsed the 28th Amendment which would allow any citizen of 35 years' residency in the United States to run for President. Passing in 2005, it took effect in time for the 2008 election. With that, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger took the lead in most polls. A moderate and pro-reform Governor with an independent streak. Schwarzenegger was able to pick up enough of the Republicans' left wing while also appealing to several other groups of voters. Proposing that his administration would trigger the death knell for worldwide terrorism as Ronald Reagan had done for communism, bring an end to climate change, and usher in a new era of tax cuts to combat the recession, Schwarzenegger proved popular in many quarters. However, he would not be without his opponents. Evangelical groups and civil liberties activists in particular were opposed to what some of them referred to as a "Neo-Rockefellerian Republican disguised as a Reaganite". Nevertheless, the campaigns of Mike Huckabee and Chuck Hagel wouldn't be merely swept away.

The Rise of the Machines, Continued

The 2008 General Election

While the Governator selected freshman Senator "Jeb" Bush of Florida for Vice President, John Edwards would exit the Democratic National Convention leading a party that was united in image only. Left-wing activists were quite alienated by the ticket comprised only of politicians from Republican states and headed by Edwards, who had created an image of a blue collar, moderate hawk. Meanwhile, suburbanites and moderate voters were tired of recessions and tax hikes, the hallmarks of Gore's domestic policy. Even the Democrats' right wing weren't overly fond of the slick, substance lacking North Carolina Senator, seen by many as merely a political opportunist. The Schwarzenegger campaign, meanwhile, had managed to bring conservatives--long sick of being out of power--into the fold while also appealing to moderates and even some liberals. Battling through his accent and managing to crush Edwards in the debates, everything came together for the Republican ticket and the Republican party.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA)/Senator John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (R-FL) 366 electoral votes, 54.1%% of the popular vote
Senator John Edwards (D-CA)/Governor Kathleen Sebelius (D-KS) 172 electoral votes, 44.8% of the popular vote
Mr. Ralph Nader (I-CT)/Mr. Matthew Gonzalez (I-CA) 0 electoral votes, .5% of the popular vote
Others: 0 electoral votes, .6% of the popular vote

Coming into office, the new President was determined to create a bi-partisan cabinet to usher in his bi-partisan agenda. While there was some speculation that outgoing Vice President Joe Lieberman might be chosen for Secretary of State, those were nixed as the Schwarzenegger administration didn't want its initiatives associated with Gore. Instead, Senator John McCain of Arizona was chosen for State. There would, however, be a few Democrats taking cabinet positions, including former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey at Defense, and Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski at Energy.

Among Schwarzenegger's first term initiatives would be the successful implementation of policies to battle climate change, an area where Gore had experienced a political route. In foreign policy, a new strategy called the "troop surge" would be put in place in Afghanistan, with a focus on steadily securing various sectors of Afghanistan. In order to revitalize the economy, the President signed off on some of the first tax cuts since the 1980's. While several protested what were referred to as "fiscally irresponsible" policies, it was pointed out that the economy was in no state to survive as it currently was. By 2011, the deficit had remained largely static as the improving economy battled what might have otherwise been decreased revenues. Meanwhile, an amount of domestic spending had been transferred to defense to fund the surge.

The 2012 Democratic Primaries

The main grassroots left-wing support would fall behind former Vermont Governor Howard Dean. Despite having been out of office for nearly ten years by 2012, his 2008 campaign had created a large following. While initially planning not to run, the massive calling for him to run, combined with what he labeled as "an attempt at turning our military into a Schwarzeneggerian world police", Dean finally announced in June 2011, immediately jumping to second in the polls behind establishment candidate, "sensible" John Kerry. Kerry, attempting to use his Senate and military experience to create an electable persona, would ironically be his fellow New Englander's main opposition. In the South, however, former North Carolina Governor Erskine Bowles would tout himself as a moderate voice of fiscal responsibility. While those in both the party leadership and the grassroots were unwilling to accept another North Carolinian, Southerners and moderates were looking for someone that could have crossover appeal.

Nevertheless, Dean would easily win Iowa and take second place in both New Hampshire and South Carolina,

Blue - Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts
Red - Former Governor Erskine Bowles of North Carolina

While there would be tremendous pressure for Dean to choose Bowles or one of Kerry's establishment supporters--obviously, a Vermont/Massachusetts ticket wouldn't go over well--Dean sought to buck the trend of Southern nominees in the party that had existed since 1988. Instead, in choosing supporter Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, Dean was part of the first entirely non-Southern Democrat ticket since the mid-'80's.

The 2012 General Election

While several left-wing activists were optimistic about the chances of the Dean campaign, a recovering economy combined with the lack of a truly unpopular war to run against--the Schwarzenegger administration's actions had allowed for the war to be pushed to the public backburner--Dean was left without a leg to stand on. With the President having a moderate and pro-environmental record, Dean was easily attacked as a "left-wing extremist" who would endanger America's economic and foreign policy interests. In that light, Dean lost even more easily than expected.

President Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA)/Vice President John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (R-FL) 486 electoral votes, 57.1% of the popular vote
Former Governor Howard Dean (D-VT)/Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) 52 electoral votes, 41.2% of the popular vote
Former Governor Gary E. Johnson (L-NM)/Justice James P. Gray (L-CA) 0 electoral votes, 1.1% of the popular vote
Former Congressman Virgil Goode (C-VA)/Former Party Chairman James N. Clymer (C-PA) 0 electoral votes, .5% of the popular vote
Others: 0 electoral votes, .1% of the popular vote

Of note would be the low vote totals for the Republican presidential ticket in Appalachia relative to the rest of the nation. This would be due to the administration's perceived stance against coal. Thus, the Constitution ticket, headed by former Congressman Virgil Goode, who received as high as 4% of the vote in West Virginia. Gary Johnson would also receive the highest vote percentage of a Libertarian presidential candidate due, in large part, failure by the administration to appease fiscal conservatives and civil libertarians. Political scientists and historians would later credit Schwarzenegger's appeal to the Republican base--in light of his policies--to his image and personal popularity, combined with his foreign policy and comparisons to Reagan.
