are you trying to bait me
because it's working
The issue with Mosley is that he's a bit too pro-Europe (quite literally, during the EEC referendum his pro-Europe stance was bought up from time to time). You really need a protectionist, like John Simon, though he doesn't really have the crypto-fascism you desire.

I can't find the exact source, but basically you know Unreformed Kingdom? The challenge was, as I can discern, to have a countries election under the same rules or trends they were a hundred or so years back (in a 'the more things change, the more they stay the stay the same' kind of way), and I had some fun with it myself a while back.There was a challenge?

Although I'd be more interested in seeing them used in a modern sense, but add a bit of spontaneity by having it NOT exactly follow the path of OTL.
Surprise people
And yes I'm saying that because I don't want to see RB Bennett lose. He tried to implement a Canadian New Deal before Roosevelt did, he created what would be the CBC, he gave the poor some of his own money, deserved reelection and there my rant is done.
POD: Bob Kustra defeats Dick Durbin in the 1996 Illinois Senate race, and Jordan, returning after retirement to a single season 2001-2002 on the Washington Wizards, decides to retire a second time to run for office. The Democratic Party in Illinois, where his primary residence was at the time, recruited him to run for the United States Senate against Senator Kustra. With 9/11 less than a year ago, any gains the Democrats could have would be uphill, but Kustra they felt was vulnerable and they felt that they needed star power to help level the playing field (A pun Jordan was not appreciative of).

Which just means that there will have to be a substitute for Rummy on the ballot in Illinois, which means that Bob Kerrey still only has 269 EV for VP, meaning that Rummy is still in second place, making him eligible to be selected by the Senate.
This is not true. Bennett's "New Deal" came in 1935, and was explicitly modelled after Roosevelt's. And Bennett came to this position very suddenly, as only a year earlier he was blasting provinces for their wasteful spending and refusing to shoulder any burden.

Hillary marries Ted Bundy! That ever been done before?
What is the situation in Texas and the West Coast? Are you doing election maps for them?"If we are to restore the greatness of America, we must follow the way of progress. The first half of the 21st century and the downfall of the United States have proved the inefficiency of the establishment's reign. There mustn't be an elite but one for the people; there mustn't be an elite but one of merit. Come with me, America. I am Kylie Kangjon, and we will restore the United States as the superpower it deserves to be."
~ Kangjon's campaign announcement speech, April 13, 2084
"Some believe otherwise, but we still remember what Russia did to us. Look at Vlad. I'm not saying that I hate Vlad for his Russian descent, but look at him. Look at his actions. He's about as integrated into American culture as a Middle Eastern terrorist. He is sympathetic to Tyumen. How can we trust him, a Russian to the core, to restore the United States' greatness?"
~ An excerpt from Democratic nominee Joshua Tyrell's chat with one of his "friends", July 22, 2084. The chat was leaked by Alaskan hackers and was one of the primary causes of Joshua Tyrell dropping out of the race.
"Thank you, America. Thank you all for your choice. As President, I will ensure that the United States of America will flourish."
~ Vladimir Butovsky's inauguration speech, November 4, 2084.
Any questions? I would like to say something more, but I haven't got anything planned and it's getting late.
Driven Mad
You cannot speak on behalf of a nation when you have no mandate to do so... - Jean-Marie Le Pen
Le Pen's best department was Vaucluse with (65.53%); Chirac's best department was Martinique with (88.62%); the closest department was Cher with a (50.1 - 49.9) divide between Le Pen and Chirac.
I can give specific data by department data if anyone wants. I thought about doing regions as well, but I ran out of interest in doing so by the time I calculated and recalculated the data for the 101 departments, nor was I certain I could even fit a second map into the infobox in such a way that it would present itself well.
