Out of curiosity, where's Dr. No?

Helen Chenoweth-Hage, Pat Buchanan, Pat Robertson, Lyndon LaRouche, Ron Paul, Al Haig

It's probably going to be Reagan running against an establishment Democrat. I think the establishment Dem's a narrow favorite, as they'll be able to run on improving the economy and Reagan being a bit fringe.

Obama doesn't run in 2008 (somehow he gets convinced that he isn't ready) and Russ Feingold runs as the candidate of the liberal wing of the Democrats.

Shrektimus Prime debuts as part of the "Power of the Primes" Transformers toyline

What would've needed to happen in the lead-up to the coup for them to have the support necessary to hold onto the Kremlin for long enough for a civil war to break out?

It's 1992, and another billionaire decides to lead the charge on the whole "anti-establishment independent run" thing. Lee apparently considered running in 1988, before he was talked out of it by his friend, Tip O'Neill. Maybe he runs into Ross Perot somewhere, and decides to take the Texan's...

In our world's August of 1991, a group of eight senior hardliners within the dying Soviet government conspired to arrest and overthrow Boris Yeltsin. Ultimately, this coup attempt was unsuccessful, and despite their dissatisfaction with Gorbachev and Yeltsin's reforms and delegation of power to...

Johnson selects Abrams- the proponent of Vietnamization- to serve as COMUSMACV over Westmoreland in 1964. The war continues, but there are significantly fewer American boys coming home in bodybags, somewhat mitigating the salience of the anti-war protests. As a result of the Vietnam issue being...

Probably Ike or Truman, if he kept his cabinet around. Nixon may do well, but that depends on how far off the deep end he is by the time the war breaks out.

I can't imagine Kennedy having Nixon's foreign policy successes. Do you really think that someone who most of his peers thought of as a trust-fund kid would have the expertise or capability that Nixon did when it came to things like getting Khrushchev to pull missiles out of Cuba? Kennedy would...

Yeah, what he said! Yes, you're a damn fine writer. Though you sometimes lean just a little too heavily on the prose for my tastes, your fantastically vivid descriptions of everyday details rivals Ian Fleming's lurid descriptions of James Bond's scrambled eggs recipe- and I mean that in the most...

I audibly said "whoah". This is a hell of a plot twist, and despite the fact that neither Vader, Yoda, or Obi-Wan never mentions the latter's fall from grace to Luke sticks out to me, a morally gray Ben tracks with the well-meaning but mind-tricking pathological liar hermit we meet in A New Hope.

At History's End 1981-1989: Ronald Reagan / George Bush (Republican) def. 1980: Jimmy Carter / Walter Mondale (Democratic); John B. Anderson / Patrick Lucey (Independent) def. 1984: Walter Mondale / Geraldine Ferraro (Democratic) 1989-1997: George Bush / Dan Quayle (Republican) def. 1988...

If anyone's looking for a good hardcore conservative, H. L. Richardson's a good choice. He was a member of the California State Senate from 1967 to 1989, with a brief hiatus in there from 1975 to 1977. He was also a board member for the NRA, founder of the GOA, and a Bircher who unsuccessfully...

This is fantastic, I'll be watching it with great interest :)

Probably Mikey Day

Marvel Characters Topher Grace should've played Peter Parker, not Eddie Brock. If you've seen him in That '70s Show, you'd know that his dorky, smart-aleck energy would make him the perfect Spider-Man. He's about as nerdy as Tobey was, but has that comedic streak to him that hasn't been...
