I admit, I don't like the way the military is being played out here but nevertheless, I found the story to be very interesting though unrealistic.

I'm looking forward to see how your 2004 election turns out.  Keep it up!

As I noted above, the events described here do not represent my own opinions or wishes.  I have enormous respect for the military as well as your service to our country.  This story is merely to entertain, and certainly does not reflect the honor and gallantry that the true military has.
Hey Brother: I know you're doing it for entertaining and I think you are doing a great job on this.  Keep it up! Smiley

One question: Did Jeffords still switch parties in June of '01?

Hey Yates...Very nice...I can see some similarities with the 1992 election minus a Perot-like candidate (Perhaps a Ron Paul in 2004?).

I'm really enjoying your story. We haven't had a good fiction timeline in quite a while (Winfield - where are you? Smiley) and you're doing a great job!  

I'm thinking of doing my own timeline again...of course not to challenge you! Smiley

If you wish for me to continue the storyline after tonight, please inform me.


Absolutely! Smiley

I didn't get the see the actual 2004 election because I was in the field.  It took my wife to call me cell (in tears) that President Bush won. She didn't vote for him, I did though.  Anyhow, this is the closest thing to an election night for me in years and I appreciate it very much! Election nights are like the Super Bowl for me!

Anyhow, have a safe and happy trip and great job on this timeline! Smiley

But she was honestly balling?
She was upset...it sounded like she crying. I was with my maneuver commander when I got the call. The commander (who is an @$$hole) and I were so happy for the Bush win I think it made my wife more upset.

What's your rank if you don't mind me asking?

Forgive me but I am laughing my ass off about that...

CPT stands for Captain. I was promoted on 02JAN06 in Iraq.

If I could pull a Tim Russert and state the only state that will determine the presidency is....

FLORIDA
FLORIDA
FLORIDA
FLORIDA

That was all I could remember back in 2000. I think it's come down to that again too!

Wow Yates...talk about a curve ball being thrown! Very interersting.

Anyhow, I like Clark, despite his West Point education. I hope he excells in this story and kicks Iran's a$$.

I hope (in reality) he runs as an Independent in 2008.

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

Can a moderator lock this thread? I doubt that Yates will be updating this. Sad

Sadly I concur.

But I will say that this (and J.J's Nixon TL) was the best TL I have ever read. This will be one we'll never forget!

It will be in the Atlasia What-If Hall of Fame if there is ever one. A truly great timeline.

What's this J.J's Nixon TL I keep on hearing about? Where can I find this?

In the Alternate timeline...

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=31287.0

A great piece, IMO.
