Honestly suprised she challenged him at all. Whatever else you may say about the woman, she was a very smart political operator who took on a constitutional amendment which began with nearly unanimous political support and won. She had to know that would be the result of any challenge she gave to Bush.Representative Schlafly, her reputation took a severe hit after President Bush's defeat in the General Election.
Thanks Mr President. I can't help but feel a little sad for Sarah Jane Moore now. Obviously she's had a hard life but to try and assassinate Udall is going WAY to far. Thanks for telling me about Schlafly. I'm definitely looking forward to her running for another term and our favourite Gipper using more of her conservative language "Government is the problem" when he runs for President himself.After her attempt on Congressman Udall's life, Sara Jane Moore was arrested, convicted, and subsequently given a life prison sentence, to be served out at an all-women's State Penitentiary. Though ITTL, her sentence did come with the possibility of parole. An angry, confused woman, when interviewed about whether or not she regretted shooting at the future President, Moore reported that she "both did and didn't." She did because "she wound up throwing her life away." But didn't because "It felt like a reasonable avenue to vent her frustration." Udall, like President Kennedy before him, eventually came to grips with his would-be assassin's actions. Udall was obviously shaken by the attempt on his life, but entered the Oval Office more determined than ever to make a difference as President.
As for Representative Schlafly, her reputation took a severe hit after President Bush's defeat in the General Election. Liberal and Moderate Republicans see her as an opportunistic traitor, who stabbed their beleaguered President in the back and handed a tough, but still winnable election to the Democrats by weakening the President's hold on his base. Even among Paleoconservatives, her appeal has been dampened, as her run may have contributed to at least four more years of Liberal Democratic rule in Washington. Despite serving as a lightning rod for criticism, in a sense, Schlafly's run has empowered the right wing of the GOP once more. She performed far better than expected, and introduced "supply side" ideas to the electoral mainstream in a way never before seen. Expect her run to influence Former Vice President Reagan as he surely gears up for another run of his own in 1980. He'll need to watch his right flank, especially as Reagan stood by President Bush during the election. Schlafly currently plans to run for another term in 1978, though her razor thin reelection in '76 makes that an uncertain prospect.
@TheDetailer is correct. Tragically, Jimi Hendrix, rock icon, front man of "Buster and the Battery", and arguably the greatest guitar player of all-time, still passed of a barbiturate overdose in September of 1970.
I don't think Nixon is psychologically capable of moving passed grudges, especially for imagined slights.Hi Mr President another question in TTL did Nixon and Kennedy ever bury the hatchet? Obviously Nixon hated Kennedy for beating him in the 1960 Presidential election so with Kennedy still being alive has Nixon moved past the bitterness he had to JFK?
Agreed. I imagine his loss in 1968 ITTL would have only exacerbated his bitterness.I don't think Nixon is psychologically capable of moving passed grudges, especially for imagined slights.
I like ElvisWhy is that a bad thing?
I misreadBut I said he doesn't die...
