United States Presidential Election, 2000 (New England Secession)

The United States Presidential election, 2000, was a Democratic election held in the United States to decide the nation's next president. Popular Socialist and incumbent President Tom Harkin was term limited and unable to run for a third term. He had helped the the United States following the bloody wars of the 1980s with the two breakaway republics in the United States, the Republic of New England and the Republic of the Pacific. During those times, two different right-wing leaders lead America, and it became some of the worst days in the United States since the Great Depression.

The election pitted Conservative oil baron and former Representative Dick Cheney of Wyoming against Socialist candidates John Edwards of North Carolina, as Harkin's Vice President, Bill Clinton, had no desire to become President, and left politics altogether to become a philanthropist and an international advocate for left-wing causes.

This was Dennis Kucinich's first of four runs for the Presidency, as he ran, but did not win the Socialist nomination, in 2004, and won the nomination in 2008 and again in the recall election of 2010, winning the election.

The Vice Presidential candidates were Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, the Conservative, and activist David Cobb of Texas. While Cheney's choice of Mike Huckabee was praised by pundits, Edwards' choice of Cobb was criticized, as Cobb had never held political office, was rumored of being a loose cannon and extremist, and had ties to the former Green Party of the United States, before it was outlawed.
