  1. RP: U.S. presidential election, 1992

    I like both, honestly. Out of party loyalty, I'll be pulling the lever for Ms. Rodham, as she probably is more conservative, but I'll be OK if Tsongas wins.
  2. Challenge: Elect Ron Paul In 2008

    OK, here's my next challenge, folks. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to send Ron Paul to the White House. With a POD no earlier than January 1, 2007, Ron Paul must fairly win the Republican Nomination for President in 2008. He must beat the Democrats in a fair election...
  3. Nixon in '64?

    Kennedy most likely would've gotten the 1964 Civil Rights Act passed had he lived. That would've been a MAJOR accomplishment that Nixon most likely wouldn't criticize.
  4. Nixon in '64?

    Or actually, that map is probably the best case scenario for Barry. Worse case, JFK picks up VA, NC, TN, AR, ND, and SD.
  5. Nixon in '64?

    RogueBeaver: I'm not sure JFK would've gotten 60% of the vote if he had lived. A lot of LBJ's votes came from sympathy voters. I'd say 55%-57% maybe? The worst he'd probably do is 54%. Also, I don't think it would've been as big of a landslide as you suggest, as JFK and Barry were friends, and I...
  6. Nixon in '64?

    Nixon would not have run in OTL 1964 for doing so would be committing political seppuku. Despite any problems voters had with LBJ at the time, it would've been difficult for anybody to beat him: the nation was still in mourning over JFK's loss, and a lot of LBJ's votes were sympathy votes. The...
  7. WI: FDR Doesn't Get Polio

    Hey guys, so how would FDR's life and the course of American history change if he had not gotten polio? What are the butterflies that come about?
  8. When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

    Awesome. :cool: It does make sense actually, that Wallace did better. He was actually President in this TL and probably has a lot more name recognition and clout than he did OTL. So it's cool seeing Dewey become the first President since Woodrow Wilson to defeat two Presidents in an election...
  9. Challenge: The Beatles Don't Break Up

    Alright, here's an AH challenge that might be a bit ASB, but let's see if it can't be done. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to have the Beatles not break up when they did. All four members must stay in the band until at least the 1980s, so no replacements. Bonus points if you...
  10. WI: John Lennon Doesn't Meet Yoko

    I mean, the Beatles had something to do with Apple, so what's to say they couldn't have had something to do with Microsoft? ;):D
  11. AHC: RFK as McCarthy's chief counsel, 1953

    Bobby was homophobic? :confused:
  12. My next TL?

    A Land of Milk and Honey
  13. WI: John Lennon Doesn't Meet Yoko

    I can't imagine that the Beatles would stay together much longer than they did OTL. The Let It Be sessions would've been hell for the Beatles, with or without Yoko. I could see them staying together until maybe 1971 or 1972. Yoko Ono may have been a factor that helped break up the Beatles, but I...
  14. When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

    Wow, Governors Peck and Goldwater! I can't wait to see where that goes! Keep it coming, Historico! :D:D Also, out of curiosity, what's the status of Out of the Blue?
  15. WI: John Lennon Doesn't Meet Yoko

    OK everybody, what if John Lennon doesn't meet Yoko Ono in 1966? How does the path of the Beatles change, and how does Lennon's life change for that matter?
