    DBWI: Best and worst presidents/PMs after 1900

    I've got to hand it to President Feingold, that man deserves to be up on Mount Rushmore someday. The way he simultaneously handled the economy following the onset of the Depression and the global clusterfuck the Iraqi-Saudi War had turned into is the stuff of legend. Sure, some people argue that...

    Best President America Never Had?

    UPDATE: I'm changing my answer to Jack Kemp based on the newfound information that he did, in fact, play for the greatest football team in history, the Pittsburgh Steelers.

    Best President America Never Had?

    There's always the ever-so-slim possibility that Nixon chooses Rocky as VP, which slightly turns off the conservative base and allows Humphrey to pick up Missouri and New Jersey, Wallace chooses Thurmond which nabs him South Carolina, and the election goes to the House. Then, in the contingent...

    Best President America Never Had?

    Also, Nelson Rockefeller in '68, he was a pragmatist,a transformative governor of one of America's most populous states, and an ardent internationalist. Had he become President, we would've ended up with the progress made by Nixon's first term (perhaps with a Negative Income tax thrown in?)...

    Possible second non-consecutive terms (for presidents other than Cleveland)

    Scenario 1) Gerald Ford decides not to run for re-election in 1976, facing his predecessor's reputation, a conservative base hostile to him, and the worst economy since the Depression. The election boils down to Carter vs. Reagan, and Carter wins by picking up the moderates Reagan has alienated...

    WI: George W. Bush is Selected as MLB Commissioner in 1992

    I considered that, but I realized without the socially conservatives turning out for the GOP (they'd be less likely to support McCain than Bush imho), there's going to be a slightly larger Reform party presence. Not enough for Buchanan to win a state, but enough for the Republican vote to be...

    WI: George W. Bush is Selected as MLB Commissioner in 1992

    The Al Gore/Ann Richards 2000 ticket resoundingly defeats the John McCain/Lamar Alexander one, largely thanks to the Reform Party's ticket of Pat Buchanan and a very reluctant Alan Keyes. President Gore's first term sees Osama Bin Laden's plot to attack the Twin Towers smothered in its crib...
