"In an alternate universe, the early exit polls were correct. Sen. John Kerry was elected president. Here’s a recent front-page newspaper article from that universe:

Kerry deserves credit for spread of democracy, experts say

News Analysis

By: A series of staff writers

"What a difference a year makes. Just 12 months ago, in the midst of a vicious presidential campaign, the entire world seemed to be falling apart. Daily bombings in Iraq. A sluggish economy here at home. But these days it seems everything is on the upswing.

For example, in the Middle East, Lebanon just completed a successful round of elections, with anti-Syrian candidates winning dozens of seats. That voting came just a few months after Syrian president Basher Assad agreed to withdraw his troops from Lebanon. Some 15,000 soldiers and thousands more intelligence agents were pulled in March.

Meanwhile in Iraq, a country that had become a Vietnam-style quagmire under former President George W. Bush, is rebounding well. January elections have brought new hope to the Iraqi people, and a growing number of Iraqi security forces are now policing their own country.
Analysts say that President Kerry’s policies were responsible for both the Syrian withdrawal and the improvement in Iraq."
