I always liked Two-Face better than the Joker anyway--though Nicholson did a Hell of a job with him. Two-Face is the main arch enemy would be pretty cool, though a Riddler like the one in the TV show (or rather the '66 movie) would be pretty cool.

As a young reader, I was too young, impatient, and dumb to be able to take the book in. With that, I skipped ahead and I saw this huge frickin' alien thing in the middle of New York City, and that was a great incentive to keep going--even though I never did understand the book until later. They...

I plan on finishing this off once and for all with a few long summary posts and closing the book. Sorry about all this, but I bit off more than I could chew, scope and research-wise. _______________________________________ 1940 It had been four years since Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. had first...

One advantage that Anderson lacks that Bush had is the ability to appeal to the Southern voters, which is one reason I see a Bush victory in the primaries as more likely than Anderson. Should Bush be able to survive Reagan's victory in New Hampshire, he'd not only have an advantage in New...

Presidents: Decided by the Atlas Forum http://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=162605.0 1. George Washington (Independent-Virginia) September 30th, 1789-March 4th, 1797 2. Thomas Jefferson (Republican-Virginia) March 4th, 1797-March 4th, 1809 3. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney...

Thanks. I'll admit I jumped into waters way over my head in choosing to write about TR, WWI, and so on. Glad to see people enjoyed it nonetheless.

Thanks a lot Nofix. Been a few months. However, it is in my vague plan to wrap this thing up, even if it means I resort to shameless summarizing. Given my knowledge of WWII, it'll take an amount of research to coordinate my plans for the big one. Between working, working out, and my other summer...

Not pro-life and liberals wouldn't be so happy about his role in promoting the Iraq War.

Let's say that instead of the Democrats teaming up with the Liberal Republicans, the Dems have their own ticket, making 1972 a three-way election between Grant (R), Greely--or whomever (LR), and whoever the Dems nominate. Who do they nominate? How do they and the Liberal Republicans fare? Can a...

Look dawgs, while Biden might improve on ol' Bill's popular vote, he doesn't have the same broad geographic appeal that Clinton demonstrated. Sure, you have your liberal fantasies about Mario Cuomo or some other dawg running. And hey, maybe they would've won, but it wouldn't have been the...

My guess for a '76 run against Carter. President George H.W. Bush (R-TX)/Senator Robert Dole (R-KS) 311 electoral votes Former Governor James E. Carter (D-GA)/Senator Walter Mondale (D-MN) 227 electoral votes

Hmmm... Probably a more aggressive foreign policy, less attempts to be fiscally responsible, better image for the presidency--none of that Ford stuff, and an easier time running for re-election in '76. However, with his economic advisers calling for monetarism, there's still a good chance he...

April 27th, 1815: Even as American peace ministers await an audience with the British, President Monroe orders War Secretary Clark to the front-lines in the West to rally American forces out there in opposition to the British attempt to take advantage of the low population of that territory...

From my atlas forum timeline "A Second Chance".

Thanks. I have to ask: Do you see it as more realistic that Hamilton might take some South-Atlantic states instead of Western states? Those places were originally strong for Federalists in OTL. I've been rethinking some of the details of this timeline, especially concerning maps and the...
