I expected someone to inquire as to the status of Iraq.  After we left Iraq, a government was established which is friendly to the United States.  I realize that this statement is general, but were I to write about every single detail, it would take me days on end to produce one update!

On Cinco de Mayo, American forces lead an invasion into Tehran with the intent to capture Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.  In a strenuous journey, five American battalions march hundreds of miles through the desert, being occasionally attacked by strains of the crumbled Iranian military, to the capital city.  On May 12th, 2006, the Iranian government announces that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has fled the nation and issues a surrender.

World War III has come to an end.

YES!!! Smiley

The purpose of launching tactical nuclear missiles at Iran was to eliminate their military.

After the war, how does the United States recover?  How will the war affect the 2006 midterm elections?  Also, a popular former President dies.

Is President reagan already dead, or is he yet to die?

He is already dead.  The former President that will die in the next update is either Ford, Carter, Bush, or Clinton.

He is already dead.  The former President that will die in the next update is either Ford, Carter, Bush, or Clinton.

Let me rephrase that.  In this fiction, Ford dies on the same date as in real life.  Therefore, either Carter, Bush, or Clinton will die in the next update.

I say it will be Clinton.

Or might it be Barnes?

After the War

Rasmussen Reports
Clark Approval Rating
October 1st, 2006
Approve: 85%
Disapprove: 15%
Unsure: 0%

Clearly, President Clark has come out of World War III as an enormously popular leader.  Clark's leadership has also helped Democrats across the country. 

Gallup Poll
Generic Congressional Ballot
October 2nd, 2006
Democrat: 59%
Republican: 35%
Undecided: 6%

Now that the war is over, media has begun shifting attention to the many scandals of the Republican-led Congress.  Most media networks have become vehemently pro-Clark, which translates into a bias towards the Democrats.  However, on October 5th, 2006, one prominent Democrat is lost.


William Jefferson Clinton
1946-2006

Former President Clinton has died in New York City from a massive heart attack.  In a statement released by Senator Hillary Clinton, Bill died in his office at 2:05 P.M. 

President Clark immediately announces that the following week would be a national week of mourning.  All flags are flown at half-mast.  Clinton's body is flown on the 7th to lie in state in the Capital Rotunda.  The state funeral will begin on the 10th.  At his funeral, George H.W. Bush, President Clark, Bob Dole, and Al Sharpton deliver eulogies.

The death of President Clinton, combined with President Clark's performance in the war and the troubles of the Republican Congress, lead to an overwhelming Democratic victory on Election Day.  The Democrats pick up seven seats in the United States Senate, giving them a majority of 55 seats.  In the House, Democrats pick up thirty-nine seats, giving them a majority of 245.  House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer, who is in line to become Speaker of the House, says on Election Night, "The people have spoken, and their voices can be heard loud and clear as a mandate for change."  House Minority Whip Nancy Pelosi will likely become the first woman to lead a major party in the House of Representatives.

With the 2006 midterm elections finished, focus is beginning to shift towards the 2008 Presidential election.  In nearly all opinion polls, President Clark crushes any potential opponent.  However, the day following Election Day, Clark has a shocking announcement.

"I will not be a candidate for President of the United States in 2008.  I love this job, but three years will be enough for me."

Speculation arises as to who will be the next President.  Will it be Vice President Holbrooke?  Senate Minority Leader Jon Kyl?  Governor Tim Pawlenty, who managed to survive a strong challenge in 2006?  The race is on.

----------------------------
Coming Next:
The race to the White House is beginning to heat up.  Who will emerge as an early frontrunner, and who will announce that they will not run?  And how go President Clark's last two years?  Also, how does the Democratic Congress perform?  All this - and more - coming up tomorrow.

I can't remember a what-if scenario in a long time that has had me wanting more to the extent that this has.

Excellent work. Smiley

Thank you, Gabu.

Instead of a regular update tonight, I will be posting a segment from Chris Matthews' show, discussing potential 2008 Presidential candidates.

Sad I was really looking forward to seeing Clark campaign in 2008. Perhaps he'll do what Bush Sr. did and decide to run after all?

That's right. I forgot that others had won in 2004 and Wellstone did not die.
