By Jan 2011 Obama will be a lame duck and Newsweak will be all but through. Praise the Lord!
For those of you too sober to read it (I, alas, am not): the piece is a Liberal Wet Dream: 9/11 never happens and Hurricane Katrina results in minimal damage. No, really.

pronounced: rack off?
No. It's not. It's THE WORST article of all time.
I want my five minutes back!
How close did we get to having the Goracle in office? He would have gotten enough electoral votes if he had won ONE state, a state he was quite familiar with:
Tennessee, his home state. The guy couldn’t win his home state?

Final results
Bush 271
Gore 266
Tennessee has 11 electoral votes. If...
Bush 260
Gore 277
The county by county map. Note that what looks like
Memphis and Nashville went Gore (blue) but a lot of the state went Bush. Bush even won some counties in NH, VT,
and ME and quite a bit of NY
gore has always been a true example of there being no intelligent life in the domocrat party
and if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.
Prince Albert would have pushed the Doomsday Button after 9/11 in an effort to prove to Naiomi Wolf that he is an alpha-male.
I can’t believe the libtards are STILL whining about the 2000 election! You lost. The only unfortunate part is now the SCOTUS is too timid to remove the usurper muzzie that is driving this Country to ruin.
Newsweek’s wet dream. They just can’t let it go that Bush won fairly and squarely 9 years ago!
Gore would have been President if he had denounced Clinton before and during the impeachment proceedings. Clinton surely would have been impeached. As Veep he’d have succeeded the impeached Clinton and even might have been elected on his own in the next election since he would be holding the very powerful position of President to campaign from.
America in 2016 if Obama is re-elected...a copy of East Germany.
It’d be more interesting to ask “If Kerry won.” Sure, it would have been unpleasant (for example, the two replaced justices), but the Reps would likely have kept the Congress in 2006 and the terrible actions of the Democrat Congress that led to meltdown wouldn’t have happened. Plus, the Kenyan would have gone on being an obscure figure, since the Dems wouldn’t have denied Kerry a second term bid. And, as horrible as he is, Kerry couldn’t come close to being as bad as Obama. Even if you disagree with that, if my belief that we would have kept Congress is true, we would have had a mechanism to oppose him that we don’t have with this guy.
And this would have prevented 9/11?
The terrorists were already in the US and already prepared for what they would do.
I can't imagine that they needed orders from Afghanistan when the plans were already made, or money from Afghanistan when the funds came from elsewhere.
Despite a general disaffection with the administration (and calls among some of his closest advisers to replace Lieberman on the ticket), the robust economy and no major foreign or domestic conflicts are enough to secure a second term for Gore-Lieberman in November 2004, beating out the McCain-Kemp ticket by 51 percent to 48 percent. It was the narrowest margin of victory for a reelected president since 1828.
Dole played the Kemp card in 1996 and it didn't help. Why would McCain make the same mistake?
November 2008: The election is nicknamed the Family Feud, with the wife-and-husband Democratic Clinton ticket running against a resurgent George W. Bush (whose fortunes turned around after a tearful 2005 television interview about his alcoholism with Dr. Drew Pinsky) and his vice-presidential running mate, former Florida governor and brother, Jeb.
A vice president who couldn't assume the office of the president if necessary (because he'd already served eight years)? Not likely.
