Real simple 911 or no 911 George Bush was going to invade Iraq at some time in his Presidency. So Gore must win the 2000 election to keep that from happening.

McGovern would have beaten Carter in Iowa in 76 and that would have been the end of the Carter campaign. McGovern fights off Brown and Church to win the nomination. I think he would have done better in 76 than Carter did. For one thing Kennedy would have backed him sooner. A McGovern...

There will be no 9/11. Al Qaeda is destroyed. Bill Clinton is a hero.

I think a lot of folks knew about this. Read Teddy Whites book "Making of the President 1968"

Not a fan of McClellan. Was he not Governor of New Jersey later on? What type of Governor was he? Didn't Gore Vidal in his novel Lincoln say if McClellan was elected it would be four years of all talk and no do?

I believe Sheridan would defeat anything the French would send against him. Does he need to go through the desert of Northern Mexico all the way to Mexico City? Scott went the way of Cortes in 1846. Maybe after Sheridan links up with the forces of Juarez he waits for the French to come to him...

LBJ thought about not running for President in 64. So he makes good on those thoughts. Who runs, who wins? Democrats, Humphrey, RFK, any one else? Republicans, Goldwater, Rockfeller, Nixon, Scranton, Lodge. Any one else ? LBJ how quiet is he during the Democratic primary?

He might become Secretary of War. Lee and Scott are very good friends. So Lee becomes the head of the Southern Army right away. Lee might win such a battle at Bull Run in which they might be able to take DC. Also Scott might be able to reign in Lee's ambitions on winning a battle in the...

In the AH novel "Fatherland" there is a cold war between the USA and NAZI Germany. With -Russian Resistance behind the Urals. With some American help, arms , money, OSS. The American miltary beats the Japanese with the Atomic bomb. If I remember right D-Day is a failure and the UK had...

Dugout Doug has a better rep.

WOW sounds good. Obama would he even be born? Why would any African want to come to America if Hoover is running the show?

A few questions. Theodore Rosevelt is healthy and is alive in 1920. He runs in 1920 and 1924. Who is his VEEP? Who does he run against in both elections? Any chance Wilson could get nominated against TR in 20? And finally who gets the nominations in 28?

McCain goes from being beat badly to being crushed. The hard right (future tea party stays home) Since the democrats have all ready had their convention Biden is still the VEEP for Obama. In local elections like Governor and State legislature that could be a big deal. In 2008 the state...

GREAT POST I am learning a lot. THANKS!!!

I can think of two men who showed un real bravery. LT. Louis Zamperini US Army Air Corp, WW2 In the Pacific. Survived a crash landing in the ocean. 47 days in a raft. Then a POW in Japanese Camp. 2. Senator Bob Kerrey, US Navy SEAL TEAM 1. Vietnam war. One of the few Senators and...

96, Bob Dole vs Bob Kerrey. Two good men fighting it out from the mid west. Kerrey wins a close one by turning his home state blue.

If HHH became President in 68, do you think he might have kept a lot of LBJ's cabinet? McGovern realy wanted to be President. I don't think he saw the cabinet would be a place to jump into the Presidency from . But going by what type of a guy he was i think he would have enjoyed being...

Bob Kerrey would have made an excellent President. He is the only man I personally know who i have worked for who ran for President. ( I was 12 when McGovern ran in 72) 92 started out good , but went sour very fast. Clinton was a very good campaigner. The question is how would the Gulf War go if...

Would Wallace switch over to the GOP? Most of the South switched over to the GOP 68-88. I would think Reagan would be HHH opponent in 72.

I just read it a few weeks ago. "The Boys In the Boat" by Daniel James Brown. About the Great Depression, 1936 Berlin Olympics. A different type of history book.
