In March 2006, the US Constitution is amendmended so that non-US born citizens can run for President.

This will be a timeline of the Republican Primaries and General Election in 2008, with Arnold Schwarzenegger running. The Democratic Primaries go the same as in Real Life.

Arnie picks Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate!





Not a big suprise, Arnie needed to pick a conservative running mate to get more support from the base of the Republican Party.

Obama picks Congressman Ron Paul as his running mate!



Wow, this is a huge suprise, no one expected this. All the Ron Paul supporters on the internet who previously hated Obama are now chanting "Obama/Paul 08!". Most Democrats seem to be ok with Ron Paul as Obama's running mate, mainly because Paul is a big opponent of the Iraq War.

National Poll - Sep 5

Arnie - 50%
Obama - 41%

Arnie is polling around 60% of the moderate vote, as moderates see Obama as too liberal. However, in internet polls Obama is polling around 60% of the overall vote, although these polls don't really count.

Obama is considered the winner of this debate. Arnie stumbled badly on a question about illegal immigration.

Even if Arnie wins, he would still lose Ca by about 4 to Obama.  I see this map as the election result.

Arnie involved in same-sex marriage scandal!

In an interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews, Arnie was asked if he supported same-sex marriage, he said yes, even though it had been revealed on the internet that he promised a leader of a Christian organization that he would support a ban on same-sex marriage nationwide.

Quick Question: Did Ron Paul switch Parties when Obama chose him for VP, or are they trying a sort of Lincoln/Johnson National Unity ticket?

Welcome to Election Night 2008!
It has been a rollercoaster campaign between Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Senator Barack Obama. Now, Election Night is here. It looks like it's going to be a very tense night.

It's 7PM and we are prepared to call the following states:

Indiana - Arnold Schwarzenegger



Kentucky - Arnold Schwarzenegger

(I'm reviving this thread)

Let's take a look at the electoral map.




Schwarzenegger - 19
Obama - 0

At 7:30PM the polls close in the battleground states of Ohio and West Virginia, and at 8PM the polls close in many states, including the big battlegorund states of Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

It is now is 7:30PM, and the polls have closed in the battleground states of Ohio and West Virginia. However, we are not yet able to make a projection in either of these states. Remember, a Republican has never won the Presidency without Ohio. Schwarzenegger will be hoping to win both of these states.

7:55PM - We have a projection to make. Arnold Schwarzenegger has carried the state of West Virginia.

8PM - The polls have closed in 16 states. Let's go through them.

In Alabama, a strongly Republican state, Schwarzenegger is projected to win

In Connecticut, a fairly safe Democratic state, it was actually close earlier in the campaign, but Obama pulled away, and we are projecting that he will win it.

In Delaware, no suprises here, Obama is projected to win.

In Illinois, Obama's home state, we are projecting that it will vote for it's Senator in this Presidential race.

In Maine, it is too close to call at this time. The polls have showed a very close race there throughout this campaign.

In Maryland, Obama is projected to win, again no suprise.

In Massachusetts, perhaps one of the least suprising projections so far, Obama is projected to carry Massachusetts.

In Michigan, it's too close to call. Schwarzenegger has made some inroads in the last few weeks of this campaign, can he pull off than upset there? We shall see.

In Mississippi, it is too early to call. This does not mean it's going to be close, it means we do not have enough votes to look at yet to make a projection.

In Missouri, it's too close to call. This is no suprise as the polls have been close there for a while.

In New Jersey, it's too close to call. This is a bit of suprise as the polls showed a big lead for Obama, but we are saying it's too close to call.

In New Hampshire, it's also too close to call. Again, no suprise, the polls were close here too.

In Florida, again, it's too close to call. This state of course decided the 2000 Presidential Election.

In Pennsylvania, another one of the real battleground states, it's too close to call.

In Oklahoma, we are projecting to the suprise of no one that Arnold Schwarzenegger will carry it.

In Tennessee, it's too close to call, although the Schwarzenegger campaign team are confident of winning here.

In Virginia, it's too close to call. A Democrat hasn't won this state in the Presidential race since LBJ in 1964.

In Washington DC, the least suprising result of the night so far, Obama is projected to win it.

In Georgia, it's too early to call, again this does not mean it's going to be close, although it could.

In South Carolina, we are projecting that Schwarzenegger will carry it.

And finally, in Vermont, no suprise at all here, Obama is projected to win.


Now let's take a look at the Electoral Map at this hour. The states in blue are Schwarzenegger states, the states in red are Obama states, the states in green are states where the polls have closed, but we are not yet able to make a projection, and the grey states are where the polls are still open.



Schwarzenegger - 48
Obama - 63

The next polls are closing at 8:30PM, in the states of North Carolina and Arkansas. We'll see you after the break on this Election Night 2008.

8:37PM - We can now project that the state of New Jersey and it's 15 Electoral Votes will go to Senator Obama.

8:42PM - We have another projection to make. Georgia and it's 15 Electoral Votes, will go to Governor Schwarzenegger.



Schwarzenegger - 75
Obama - 78
