Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to have a presidential candidate in any election year between 1900 and 2008 nominated by both the Democratic and Republican parties in the same year. Bonus points if both parties nominate the same running mate.;)

Coming from the After-1900 forum thread (link)... Your challenge is, with a POD no earlier than Jan. 1, 1788, to have six or more major presidential candidates running simultaneously for President of the United States in a presidential election anytime between 1788 and 1896. Other than that...

Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to have six or more major candidates running simultaneously for President of the United States in a presidential election. The only requirement is that each candidate must have a somewhat-good chance at actually winning. Also, because this is the...

Well, it's Election Year, and for once, we don't have an incumbent President or Vice President running! President Perot decided not to run for a second term, so we have three main candidates. John McCain (R-AZ) - Senator John McCain is the Republican nominee for president. His running mate is...

IOTL, after winning the Republican nomination for president in 1980, Ronald Reagan actually considered having Gerald Ford as his running mate. He even tried negotiating with Ford to get him on the ticket, but the negotiations failed, and Reagan ended up choosing George Bush as his running mate...

Inspired by the recent TR '12 thread, your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to have Eugene Debs, the perennial Socialist presidential candidate in 1900, 1904, 1908, 1912, and 1920, elected President of the United States. The rules are simple: * Eugene Debs must be elected as a...

Poll forthcoming. Election Day is tomorrow. Are you going to vote for incumbent President John Kerry, or Republican challenger Governor Mitt Romney? Or a third party?

So, POD - President Ronald Reagan, while campaigning for re-election in 1984, dies two weeks before the 1984 presidential election - probably of a heart attack, or something along those lines (he was pretty old, of course). George Bush is inaugurated as the 41st President, and the GOP quickly...

Though he was into acting until 1965, Reagan was eligible to run for his first office at the age of 25 - he could have run for Congress in 1936. What if he had not gone into acting at all and had gone directly into politics? Or what if he went into politics in the 1940s? '50s? Early '60s? What...

Hello everybody! Inspired by the recent Michigan and Colorado in your Timelines threads, I was wondering what happens to the state of Minnesota in your timelines. How does Minnesota end up? My homestate is Minnesota, so that's partly another reason I started this thread.:)

Your challenge - which will probably be near impossible - should you choose to accept it, is to have any Republican politician challenge President George W. Bush for the Republican nomination for president in 2004. You get the regular amount of points if you have that candidate pose a good-sized...

This is my third timeline attempt, and hopefully, it works out well. If anyone has any comments, complaints, or questions, feel free to say so, and enjoy! I'll update later. Enjoy! ========================= INDEPENDENT The Election and Presidency of...

Just a recent idea I had. So, WI Ross Perot won a bigger margin of the popular vote in 1992, and didn't run again in 1996. Bill Clinton's still elected president, and re-elected in 1996, and history is exactly the same. Then, in 2000, former Perot supporters draft Ross Perot into the race once...

So, I was listening to a radio talk show host today, and he was talking about how the Republicans had strategized the 2008 election, and he briefly mentioned that John McCain had nearly left the GOP and become a Democrat in 2002. I dunno if this really happened, but if so, how did that happen...

Okay, so I recently got this game (I didn't get the Campaigns Forever thing, but I'm gonna get it for my birthday), right? To start things out, I decide to run a 1980 campaign, where I, Ronald Reagan, face off against Jimmy Carter. I assume that the reason I lost in a landslide to Jimmy Carter...

Author's Note: This timeline is dedicated to recently deceased Senator Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy, also known as Uncle Teddy and Ted Kennedy and EMK. R.I.P. PART ONE: THE ELECTION OF 1968 "On June 20, 1968, fourteen days after his brother's assassination by Sirhan Sirhan in California...

WI, as Abraham Lincoln is riding through Baltimore in February 1861, he is killed by the Baltimore Plot? This is probably assuming the police doesn't find out about the Baltimore Plot before they plan to shoot him. Unless I'm mistaken, Hannibal Hamlin would become president. I'm thinking of...

The Sixties: A Political Timeline (Note: There are 3 PODs. These PODs are not linked, just numerous coincidences that happen in the same timeline. Hope this is OK with the community.) 8/5/44 Dear Mr. Kennedy, We are sorry to inform you that your son...

Can you make George Wallace become elected president in 1968? Bonus points if you can get him elected in 1972 or 1976, double bonus points if you can have him get re-elected in 1972 or 1976, and triple points if you can get him to beat LBJ for the nomination in 1964 and win the election.

In the 1870s, were there any American Socialists who ran for Senate or the House of Representatives? Were there any that ran for president?
