  1. An Era Of Limits

    Note on "An Era of Limits," the final draft - Hey everybody! I'm oakvale. You might remember I wrote a timeline called An Era of Limits many moons ago, which focused on the improbable election of Jerry Brown to the Presidency. I ended it with Brown losing re-election in 1980, and with the...
  2. Someone's recreating the 1960 Presidential campaign on Twitter!

    This qualifies as AH because, uh, what if they had internet in 1960? Yeah, that's it. http://twitter.com/jfk_1960 http://twitter.com/Nixon_1960 http://twitter.com/lbj_1960 Humphrey, Lodge and even Eisenhower are there, too. :D
  3. WI: 1968 Nixon campaign's meddling in peace talks leaked?

    In keeping with the recent spate of 1960s threads here... It's fairly well established that Richard Nixon's 1968 campaign - through aide Anna Chennault - effectively sabotaged the Vietnam peace talks by assuring the Vietnamese that they'd get a better deal when Nixon was elected. So, what if...
  4. AH Challenge: Get Eugene McCarthy the Democratic nomination in 1968

    POD must be after he almost wins the New Hampshire primary, so no "Johnson picks him as Vice-President in 1964" stuff. Bonus points if he actually wins in November.
  5. Making History

    Well, okay, everyone, sorry for the delays. As you can probably tell, I've been busy retooling and editing what was formerly called The History We Make Today. It's now better written, less jumbled and the plotlines are more well defined. Hopefully, I'll actually be able to update more than once...
  6. President Forever & Primaries

    I picked this little game up when I was doing, uh, "research" for my first TL, and it's pretty entertaining for political geeks such as myself. From Wiki: There's also excellent user-made scenarios for 1968, 1976, 1984, 1988 and 1996. Oh yeah, it's alternate history because you can do stuff...
  7. The History We Make Today

    Hey, everyone, I'm still alive, and I've been working on this TL for quite some time. I'm afraid I probably I won't be able to update this as frequently as I did An Era of Limits, but I'll try to make the updates fairly decent. The POD, obviously, is the election of Henry Ford to the Presidency...
  8. Choose what TL I should write next

    Hey all, Having wrapped up, for the most part, An Era of Limits recently, I'm eager to get started on a new work. I've been looking forward to writing a quasi-fascist United States [1] timeline for some time, and I've been researching and writing a rough draft of a President Henry Ford...
  9. The greatest timeline never written?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEDc-zfCiHI About 3:45 in this interview. Senator Alan Alda? President Alan Alda? Yes, please!
  10. Best losing Presidential candidate?

    Just curious, and I hope this is okay in this forum. So, yeah, who do you think is the best President the United States never had? I have to admit that I've always liked Michael Dukakis, but I think it has to be George McGovern. EDIT: Let's keep it to post-1900, so it's at least valid for...
  11. An Era of Limits

    An Era of Limits Okay, here's my first, mediocre, attempt at a timeline. I'm afraid I'm useless at following things through, but I'll try to keep this up. You'll have to excuse the DD/MM/YYYY format of the dates. For all my fascination with American politics, I'm not American, and old habits...
