2. I sort of doubt it.
he'd have the Iraq war hanging around his neck like a decaying albatross. The economy wouldn't have picked up overnight, and the Dow would be in the middle of a correction without funny money flooding in from the Fed. Speaking of the Fed, the fish faced enemy of the people in charge of it would likely have hiked interest rates several times to combat oil inflation, while blaming it on working people for being greedy enough to want enough money to live on. Offshoring would continue because he wouldn't have enough votes in Congress to do anything about it, not really, nor would he have enough votes to roll back Bush's disastrous tax cuts, something every Congressman has profited from.

I think Kerry would have had a miserable time had the election been fair and the Democrats gotten a slim majority in the Senate.

Fair or not, he'd have been blamed for all the fallout from Bush's disastrous four years, and we'd probably get Jebbie in 2008 to finish his big brother's job after his big brother finished Dad's job.
