Chapter Two
"So help me God, I hereby announce my candidacy for President of the United States."
-James Buckley (1979)
"Everyone knew William Buckley-but I don't think too many people (outside New York) knew James Buckley before 1976."
-Michael Royko (1990)
"Connally, Dole, [John] Anderson started campaigning pretty early, but Buckley-he stayed in Washington. But his brother [Will] was already out in the Iowan corn fields..."
-Ed Morris
"Gallup initially gave Buckley a three point lead over Connally, but the [Washington] Post put Connally at a seven point lead. So, everyone had to ignore polling for a little while until they got it together-a terrible scenario (for a politician)"
-Jack Smith (1982)
"We have arranged for a debate among the Republican Presidential Candidates..."
-League of Women Voters 91979)
I'm assuming that Buchanan's quote implies that the person was elected in the 1970 mid-terms. I'm going to guess James Buckley, as his convention speech gives me some foreshadowing info who it's going to be. Buckley is a really interesting figure, I wonder how this TL will go. Or I could be completely wrong.
