TL-191 United States Presidential Election 1988

Well, after the Socialist landslide in the past two elections, I think we have a different scenario here, three candidates that could win...

Will you vote for Robert Kennedy (Democratic) which, if elected, would pull the Democrats to a more liberal conservative slant.

Will you vote for Harry Reid (Socialist) which if elected, will pull his Socialist Party to a more liberal position, endangering the Republicans.

Will you vote for Jerry Brown (Republican) which if elected, will solidify his Republican liberal base, ensuring Reid's gambit will fail.

Oh, and their VPs are Grant Devine, Thomas Carper and Anthony S. Earl, respectively.

The Socialist is third, and the Republican second? Interesting...

Bump. Kennedy (D) is leading, with Brown (R) in second, and Reid (S) third.

RFK used to work for Joe McCarthy... ITTL he may never have shifted to the left.

Bump. It seems like we're not getting another horrible red-covered map, but a nice tri-colored map.
