I tried to think of a scenario where 'Fritz' and John B. Anderson run on a ticket to stop Reagan. Since it would be to unrealistic i chose a far worse candidate, Evan Mecham. Mechams term is basically Reagans term on steroids, with a Iran war and all that. Walter Mondale and John Anderson and his National Union Party, which made some gains in the 1982 midterms, join together to stop Mecham.
Mondales term is a succesful one. Ending the Iran war and winning back the peoples support after the disastourous Mecham years. While many expected him to drop Anderson of the ticket in 1988 he decided not to. With the Republicans nominating arch-conservative Phill Crane and Alexander Haig, who called for the end of detente. Mondales road to a second term looked relatively easy and only became easier when Cranes alcohol problems leaked. The biggest suprise however was Ron Paul winning Alaska.
Mondales second term was more problematic. With a Republican party in congress that shifted further to the right and the Soviet Union barely avoiding civil war and instead collapsing. The biggest issue however was Alaska calling for independence after Andre Marrou became the governor.
It wasn't really a question who would become the Democratic nominee. Secretary of Space John Glenn was leading in all polls and won all primaries. While a ticket with House minority leader Newt Gingrich was explored. They couldn't agree on anything expect space exploration. Glenn chose Mabus, face of the new Mississippi, instead. The Republicans nominated controversial California senator Bob Dornan and Ted Turner won several states on the National Union ticket, despite VP Anderson endorsing John Glenn. However again the biggest suprise again came from Alaska going 41% for it's governor who was calling for a indepenent Alaska.
More to come later...
