44. John McCain: 2009-2012
45. Joseph Lieberman: 2012-2013
46. Joseph Biden: 2013-2017
47. Ted Strickland: 2017-2025
48. Chris Christie: 2025-current

2008. Republican John McCain chose independent and former Democrat Joseph Lieberman as his running-mate. Lieberman switched to the Republican Party immediately after the announcement was made. McCain/Lieberman went on to win a very close election over Obama/Biden. McCain, at age 72, had the highest term-entrant age of any president; and Lieberman became the first Jewish vice president. McCain died of a stroke in May 2012.
2012. Lieberman became the first Jewish president after President McCain's death. Already running for the Republican nomination at the time of McCain's death, Lieberman was facing challenges from social conservatives like Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, and Rick Santorum. Eventually, Lieberman lost the nomination to Cain.
2016. Biden defeated Herman Cain for the presidency in an election that was much closer than expected. He only accepted one term.
2020. Vice President Strickland defeated Tim Pawlenty for the presidency in 2016 and John Thune in 2020.
2024. Christie, 350lbs in 2011, had slimmed down to 175lbs by the time he was elected president in 2024 over Vice President Kristen Gillibrand.

Very creative, bravo, but well, I can't see it happening. I'd also love to see the 2000 map.

Nice to see you wander over to this area. Isn't Bob Dole in horrible health by the 2000's though? Heck, he was old in 1996, forget 2004.

Let me say this. If he had won in 1996 in real life, he would have run for reelection in 2000.

That doesn't necessarily mean that he would have run for a first term in 2000, though.
