Hillary keeps it close throughout the election, scores strong debate performance against Bush and hammers him over the economy and Iraq. Polls before election day show a close election, but independents break strong for Hillary and she prevails by a bigger margin than expected.

√ Clinton-Vislack: 295 (50.0%)

Bush-Cheney: 243 (48.7%)

Hillary succeeds in winding down the Iraq War, with all troops nearly withdrawn by time of 2008 election, but the weak economy becomes the focus once the general election gets under way. John McCain, goes after Hillary, after the economy begins to collapse, but he is largely ineffective (as he was IRL). Clinton runs a Truman style campaign, attacking the GOP Congress and tying McCain to them. In the end, Clinton narrowly prevails over McCain.

√ Clinton-Vislack: 284 (49.7%)

McCain-Pawlenty: 254 (49.2%)

√ Rice-Kasich: 290 (50.8%)
Vilsack-Obama: 248 (47.6%)
