  1. If Romney had narrowly won in 2012, could Obama have pulled a Grover Cleveland in 2016?

    As title. It’s an interesting premise to me - Imagine Romney carries a narrow Electoral College win, but Obama wins the popular vote. Would Obama have enough retained support to mount a successful 2016 challenge? It seems however in TTL that Clinton might have been seen more as ‘The candidate...

  7. AHC : Make Obama a modern Cleveland

    I do think the Race issue makes Obama a more likely candidate than most. An Obama who narrowly lost in 2012, but then has a much more positive view by history, might be seen as “A good president at the wrong time”, and could come back quite strongly in 2020, if not 2016, thanks to his age I think
  8. Sky Fall.

    Seems like a bit of an Arsenal-wank following today's awful display hahaha. Spurs would probably do a lot better than most other teams in terms of secure finances. An interesting possibility if this happened would be a Chinese/similar bailout. Considering the money that billionaires there are...
  9. AHC: Alan Sugar as British Prime Minister

    Considering the fortunes of an Apprentice star in American Politics right now, this got me thinking about whether it would be possible for Trump's British Counterpart to do as well, or maybe even better. Alan Sugar has supposedly been asked by Labour Party officials to run for London Mayor...
  10. The Maw: When The Lights of the World Went Out

    Wonder what effect this will have on the upcoming Euro 2016 tournament. Sadly, I can't think of it being good...
  11. The Maw: When The Lights of the World Went Out

    This is an incredibly thrilling and well-written piece, and I hope, more than I perhaps ever have on this website, that this goes on until a great ending and not end early. Please keep up the great work!
  12. WI: Sergio "Kun" Aguero to Chelsea FC Summer 2010

    Man City sign Robin Van Persie in the summer of 2012, missing out on the 11-12 title having finished behind United. Chelsea probably fare slightly better, maybe winning an extra trophy. With Torres not leaving, I still see Suarez arriving at Anfield - Liverpool would simply have just not...
  13. WI: Alex Ferguson retires in 2002

    "In pubs across the country, the common questions of football are always debated over a pint or two. Who was the greatest ever player? Was it Maradona or Pele? Or perhaps one from the modern era, such as Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, or Henry? And if an agreement is ever found, the conversation...
  14. Thought Exercise: al-Qaeda and affiliated groups get Loaded Dice after 9/11

    I think OP means the major terrorist plots between then and now that have been foiled all succeed (Transatlantic 2006, Times Square, various New York Subway plots, Stock Exchange etc.) Likely just more paranoia across the country, more incidents of anti-muslim violence, much tighter security...
  15. WI: Mourinho succeeded Ferguson

    The OTT love in of Jose today has been a bit unbearable for me, but it got me thinking: WI Ferguson told the United board to go for Jose? Assuming he accepts the job, how would this change things? Would Moyes stay at Everton or go elsewhere? Who'd take the Chelsea job? How would each club fare?
