If George lost in 72, HHH would be the nominee. Jimmy Carter really wanted the VP nomination in 72. I could see Humphrey picking him. HHH would have studied his defeat of 68 and realized he needed more help in the south. I can't see HHH and Carter winning in 72 but it be closer. Say Nixon...

There is no way Theodore Roosevelt takes this lying down. No American president who ran for reelection in the time of war has ever lost an election. Even Bush won in 2004. It ends up being the same has WW2 with out the bomb.

That's good point. In "52 reality" Stevenson lost Illinois his home state and got the nomination again in 56. Our current President lost his home state. Could Taft win Ohio for the GOP in 52? Bricker could not in 44. LBJ barely held Texas for JFK in 60. I think one reason why the GOP went...

I am thinking that Warren may get the GOP nomination. The democrats had not lost a National election since 1928. Eisenhower was a GREAT man who was highly respected, so he was able to stop that winning streak. But with out him its a lot tougher for a Republican to win in a very liberal...

I like Eisenhower, just wondering what the changes would have been with out him.

Just what it says. Eisenhower stays 100% out of politics in 1952. He never runs for President. What takes place?

How about Stuart Symington, senator from Missouri? A former US Secretary of the Air Force. More liberal than some of the Dixie boys, but he was from a border state.

You could change the constitution and have folks run for the VEEP job like they run for the Presidency. It be a mess yes, but they get vetted even more that way. Take it out of the Presidential nominee's hands

I can see George going this way in the Middle East. He was a WW2 vet. He talked a lot about the problems in the Middle East.

Would Henry Tudor take on Edward IV if he had lived longer? What would have been the fate of Henry Tudors Mother? Who wins between Edward IV and Henry Tudor?

I wanted to give it a bump.

Great Stuff. WOW what a way to win! Bill Clinton is part of a winning campaign, does he work in DC now? Or go back home?

Veterans for McGovern. I can still see the look on party leaders faces when George said his speech in July of 2010 and talked about his war experiences. It was an outstanding speech and so many people said why didn't he mention this in 1972. I am glad "your" McGovern is telling the Nation his...

Glad to see George speaking in Prime time. His speech is really good. I am looking forward to more chapters.

Pretty good stuff. Can't wait to read more!!

DEMS Brown and Glenn vs GOP Reagan and Baker. Brown would run differently if he was not running against EMK and Carter in 80. Brown wins. Also Bill Clinton was born wanting to be President. He was very young when he got elected in 92. He would find a way to at least get the nomination...

One of the reasons that John Kerry got the 04 nomination was he was a decorated veteran. America was at war and Dems thought Kerry could beat Bush. If John Kerry was not available, well former Senator and Governor Bob Kerrey of Nebraska was. Medal of Honor winner, Bronze Star, Purple Heart...

The Varangians, for the ERE

Poor George. You want him to own both 72 and 84? He would have got beaten bad. Our country goes in swings of conservative to progressive in how we vote for national leaders. Today we vote a bit more progressive. In the 80's it was a conservative bent. George would need a lot more money to...
