President George W. Bush/Vice President Dick Cheney: 356 Electoral Votes, 49.0%
Senator Joe Lieberman/House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt: 182 Electoral Votes, 42.1%
Representative Dennis Kucinich/Fmr. Representative Cynthia McKinney: 0 Electoral Votes, 7.6%
Massive protests surround the 2004 Democatic National Convention, and despite attempts to withhold his nomination by anti-war candidate Dennis Kucinich, they all failed, and Lieberman in response decided to choose a pro war, establishment running mate. Many anti war delegates walked out, and the convention was as violent as 1968. Kucinich announced his candidacy for President on the Green Party ticket the day after the convention, and Nader stepped down as the Green Party nominee. Fmr. Rep. McKinney decided to join the ticket, and President Bush appeared set for re-election. Kucinich nearly made the criteria for the debates, but narrowly didn't. The 2004 Election was a landslide re-election for the incumbent.
I think NJ and ME go for Bush too in this scenario
