New Deal Coalition Retained: A Sixth Party System Wikibox Timeline
What are these characters up to?
- Pete Wilson
- Pat Schroeder
- Bob Graham
- Sam Nunn
- Paul Sarbanes
- Mike Dukakis
- Ross Perot
- Thad Cochran
- Elizabeth Holtzman
- Phil Gramm
- Mitt Romney
Serpico's actions went just like OTL, though the commission that was formed after his wistleblowing was the doing of Mayor Buckley. Ramsay Clark convinced him to go into politics, and he won a seat in Lower Manhattan in 1974 as a Democrat. As for Jimmy Carter, he's a congressman from Georgia after defeating J.B. Stoner in 1970. He's an economic liberal and a soft social conservative. Mondale was a former Democratic statewide official in Minnesota, but defected to the Farmer-Labor Party. He was then elected as the Minnesota Secretary of State in the 1982 elections
Hell, Serpico would make a damn good Progressive VP pick. While we can't go with McGovern again thanks to 1980, we can try someone a little more charismatic.
Lol, slow down guys
- Pete Wilson is still Mayor of San Diego. He unsuccessfully ran against Governor Yorty in 1982.
- Pat Schroeder is a Congresswoman like OTL
- Bob Graham was defeated for senate in 1976 by Claude Kirk. He was elected as Florida Attorney General in 1978 and is biding his time.
- Sam Nunn is still in the Senate
- Paul Sarbanes barely held on as a Congressman until 1976, when the Reagan wave joined with the Agnew machine to defeat him
- Mike Dukakis is the current Mayor of Boston, waiting for his opportunity to run statewide - Dems are still hurt by Endicott Peabody's commuting of the Boston Strangler
- Ross Perot is still a businessman in Texas. Known as the bankroll of the Texas Democratic Party but a supporter of President Reagan
- Thad Cochran. In congress. you'll see more of him soon
- Elizabeth Holtzman. In congress, one of the leaders of the Kennedy liberal wing of the Democratic Party
- Phil Gramm. Still in the Democratic Party. Planning to run for Senate in 1984.
- Mitt Romney. Working at Bain Capital.
MORE! MORE! MORE!
What is Neil Young up to?
Also, I'm going to throw in Claude Pepper and Alan Greenspan for social security updates.
I'll stop after this, you're probably going nuts.

So Mondale is basically a nobody while Carter is a congressman instead of governor.
I don't mind. This is fun
Pepper is a Senator again. Greenspan is undersecretary of the treasury
Mondale is young. He still has a big future in the Farmer-Labor Party
What's going up with:
- James Schlesinger
- Warren G. Magnuson
- Benjamin Ward
- Tom Eagleton
- Howell Heflin
- James Baker
- Mr. Jesse Jackson
- Schlesinger was the philisophical force behind Communonationalism and was a policy adviser for George Wallace
- Warren G. Magnuson was defeated same as OTL, but in 1974 rather than 1980.
- Benjamin Ward was appointed by Mayor William Buckley as a Deputy Commissioner based on the post-Serpico commission's requests.
- Tom Eagleton is the senior US Senator for Missouri
