I should say if RFK does not win the nomination or take second place on the ticket, he won't sulk like McCarthy did. So he will help anti war Democrats get on board, and Humphrey wins.

It would be difficult for the moderate to oppose the Tax and Budget cuts. He probably would work better with Soviets. In the good economic times of 1984, he, it would almost certainly be a he, would win reelection. Jack Kemp or some other conservative would probably have been his running mate...

What if Robert Kennedy had agreed to challenge LBJ when he was first asked in 1967? He would like McCarthy OTL have embarrassed Johnson in New Hampshire. LBJ will still withdraw. The big difference is in the primaries OTL where McCarthy and Kennedy competed, RFK would win the combined Kennedy...

The least complicated way to get Bork on the Court is to have President Reagan nominate him to replace William Rehnquist, when Rehnquist was nominated to be Chief Justice in 1986.

True if he is running against Kerry he is unlikely to pick Palin as a running mate. One of the reasons he did was to attract disappointed Hillary supporters. She is not going to challenge President Kerry. Having Kerry win in 2004 is the only way I know to get McCain to win in 2008.

The Civil Rights Acy would have been harder for Kennedy than it was for Johnson.

Heath Care passes with Democratic votes. It angers conservative Republicans and helps Reagan win the nomination in 1976. He loses to a Democrat other than Carter, who needed Watergate to win.

Humphrey would win in the novel. Reagan had taken too many unpopular positions, like his opposition to Medicare. There was no Vietnam War in the novel. Kennedy did not get involved and then the Communists win, Which is what I thought was ASB about the novel. If South Vietnam was in danger...

Because America is at peace in the 80s, there is no Watergate.

Rockefeller gets in earlier and does better. There is a brokered convention. Nixon is Secretary of State. He does not win the nomination in 1976. The Republican loses that year. There was a bad economy. Nixon wins the nomination and election in 1980.
