I categorically disagree. Edwards - at least to my knowledge - is not a womanizer to the bone, unlike JFK/Clinton I don't think he has a history of affairs. He fell in love with Rielle Hunter, and that was that. I'm not excusing his adultery, but I don't know there's evidence to suggest he...

That's just the generic Wiki list. Most news accounts have it between Edwards and Lieberman (some I've seen suggest Kerry was the third choice). I think Edwards would have been a strong running mate.

Let's say that Nixon chooses to deliver the CA delegation to Taft over Ike. Taft wins and selects Nixon as his running mate. Taft/Nixon defeat Stevenson in November. Taft dies in 53 per OTL - what does President Nixon do? On civil rights? On the Supreme Court? On foreign policy? What happens in...

Glad to see some comments! Thanks guys! Update coming in a few days; I was enjoying vacation.

Played as Johnson in '56. Won the nomination at the Convention. I easily took the popular vote from Ike, but <100,000 people in Pennsylvania decided the presidency for the president. I can only imagine how LBJ would feel about that...

III. It's Gonna Take Awhile. "I'm just delighted to be here in Durham with all of you today. I love getting up here to New Hampshire - not far from the place I spent many days growing up over in Maine. I had a fortunate childhood. I am running for president so that your kids can have the...

II. A Time for Planning. "Since I left the American Red Cross, January 15th, I've been traveling around the country, and I've been humbled by the response. It's been inspiring to appear before overflow crowds in such places as New Hampshire, Iowa, Colorado, Florida, and Texas. It's been that...
