  5. Gerald Ford assassinated in 1975. What comes after?

    Fair enough, but medical intervention for a President in the White House would be a lot better than for an ex-governor with a panicking lover who won't call an ambulance. His father lived till 86 and had brothers who lived till 94 & 101. He might have hung on.

  8. Was Gary Hart Presidential Material or Not?

    I was not only referring to his so called infidelities. He changed stories a few time over why his family changed their last name. He listed different birthdays on different forms for 15 years. His motives in joining the Naval Reserve were murky. I would say he was not presidential material.

    Austria had a better time of it than the Netherlands during wartime.
  12. The Learning Channel (TLC) remains an educational channel

    Unfortunately trash sells and no one really wants to watch educational shows :) TLC (Terrible Life Choices) is just one of many channels that have completely changed while chasing viewers. From Bravo ("I remember when Bravo used to air operas." - Jack Donaghy) to the History Channel that airs...

    and an actor i was delighted to see. If Bush had his popularity burst a lot sooner. Schroder would have been a good VP pick for an untroubled Gore.
  14. President Elect 1988 - Megathread

    1964 & 1980 are not good years to run. I've tried them both to go the other way and it's hard.
