    Interesting AH ideas that aren't commonly used

    After, I was thinking that Woodward comes out with what information he has a little earlier, incensed by Agnew's resignation. Nixon promptly begins freaking out, because he's trying to get a VP nominated, and after he's found out, he resigns/he has a heart attack from the stress, and resigns due...

    Nixon gets impeached/resigns in late 1973, before Ford is nominated and confirmed as vice President.

    AHC: Four Way Presidential Debate

    If it somehow got revealed that Nixon stalled Vietnam in '68, that could have some serious ramifications. A break-in and cover-up is one thing, but actual treason is another.

    DBAHC: President Jimmy Carter

    Would he even need to sell the farm? After all, President Graham used to be a minister before he mustered up all his influence with the religious right to win the nomination back in '96. So let's say someone more socially centrist than Reagan beats Kennedy, Carter could bring out the remnants of...

    "Hipster" PMs and Presidents Thread

    A couple of people who I (surprisingly) don't see mentioned very often are Fmr. Rep. Harold Ford, Jr. of Tennessee, and Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska. For the former, he could easily serve as an alt-Obama, if the DCCC decided to throw a little more weight/funding behind him in the '06 senate race...

    No Carter in '76 - Best Person to Lead America from 1977 Onwards?

    Imo, Scoop-diddy-whoop Jackson is the best option.

    "Hipster" PMs and Presidents Thread

    Maybe the hipster part is how he'd come to power, but if Al Franken was brought on board as Press Secretary for an '80s Democratic President, after the admin, he could run for Governor of New York (makes more sense than Minnesota for him, imo) and end up as president.

    AHC: Canada more right-wing than the United States

    TL;DR: President Huey Long turns America's post-Depression economy into Scandinavia, and a different WWII establishes a different NATO that an unbothered Canada doesn't join, causing it to develop nationalist and isolationist tendencies. Somehow, an assassin kills FDR during his inaugural...
