Sounds like a nickname sportscasters would give Brett Favre if he were playing Space Football.

A better detective team should have been assigned to the case. The lead detective, Phillip Vannatter, had wanted to retire by the time the murders occurred. He stuck around a little longer because the North Ridge earthquake did significant damage to his home, and he stayed on the job (rather...

A Southern Dem winning is not out of the realm of possibility considering Gore was elected in '96 and 2000. Wasn't Clinton known for having a really bad marriage and constantly cheating on his wife? I doubt he would have a real chance only one presidential election cycle after Gary Hart...

Indeed. The Chipperverse has become my favorite set of threads here. Hopefully, you'll stick around for another Great Plains election next year.:D

For whatever reason, the first song I thought of was Blue Monday by New Order.

This was, obviously, before he was promoted to Dean

Go back and read the short story when you get a chance (or listen to it on Escapepod). Stas Mikoyan and Kagan are both mentioned early in the story (I think during the convention). The Hammer is never mentioned as Vince Scriabin in the story (like he is in the novel). He's always just refereed...

I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. PS. His hair was perfect.

I thought I'd give this a try. POD is Dewey wins in '48. Both parties move toward the middle after WW II. I wanted to at least get the list posted now, but I'm going to work on fleshing this out a bit more with notes on each president. Thomas E Dewey (1949-1953) Dwight D Eisenhower (1953-1957)*...

It was pretty cool, very chilling at times (Like when ash starts falling and the Sheriff says that it's the local hospital burning the crippled and terminally ill. They do it EVERY Wednesday, don't you know). I hope they keep it around.

Not to mention Bush spoke out against nation building in the 2000 campaign.

Well, hell, we know what happened in OTL 2004: John McCain turned Gore out of the White House on his ear. Would Bush have fared as well in a rematch? Well, he was a fairly popular Gov. in Texas, and Gore was absolutely vulnerable in 2004. Ultimately, I think Bush was too far to the right to turn...

If you like Game of Thrones, the GoT mod is pretty great.

Huh. Even against Dan Quayle Al Gore couldn't win Tennessee. Looks like neither candidate could win their homestate.

Need somebody to breath life back into a thread? Why not Zoidberg?

I echo what a few people have already said. As a fan of The West Wing, I remembered being intrigued when I first saw this thread back in 2008. I thought it would be interesting to follow the rest of the Santos Administration and the 2010 election. I had no idea it would still be going strong...

I hear that under Tim Thomason's beard, there's no chin. Just another fist

Good point. I always thought we were gearing up for a Seaborn Vs Clarke race in 4 years.

The real question is would Senator Ditka have run for governor of Illinois in 2006 if he lost the Senate in 2004? After all, the GOP in Illinois was chomping at the bit to get him elected to something, and he took to the campaign trail like a fish to water. By the way, I'm so sick of Ditka...

Seriously, those Dixie Cola ads were pretty amazing. Awesome job.
