Some of the incidents were said to occur during his tenure at the National Restaurant Association in the late 90s, however since the allegation etc was handled by the NRA and not public it is not known when charges were made. Nothing was made public until his 2012 bid for President. He has...

I don't think McCain would accept. Nor would Doyle, due to Bob's dislike of the Bush's Colin Powell is to moderate I don't think he'd get the nod. There are however 3 African-Americans at the time who are Republican and conservative enough you could get them on the ticket: Alan Keyes, Herman...

It's also was nominated by me :) just now :)

Lots of good comments. Let's look at the first states I commented as Ted now winning: Massachusetts, 0.15% goes Democrat (+14 D) Tennessee, 0.29% goes Democrat (+10 D) Arkansas, 0.61% goes Democrat (+6 D) Alabama, 1.30% goes Democrat (+9 D) Mississippi, 1.32% goes Democrat (+7 D) Kentucky...

The thing is you have to look at 2 factors that are not easily figured, because well it didn't happen. How many Republicans chose to go vote in 1980 only because they opposed Carter? Without Carter on the ticket you will suppress Republican voters because well he's no longer visible. Kennedy has...

John Glenn is a possibility. Historically he was in the running, however his rather flat speech at the DNC killed his chances and Mondale of all folks was chosen in 1976. Glenn didn't officially run in 80 (he was running for his OH Senate seat reelection), but he did in 84, 88 and 92. However if...

The South is heavily democratic and has been for generations, I was using existing election results to project what would happen. The South would go Democratic I'm pretty sure in the absence of Carter in 1980. Reagan did not win them by much and ultimately with Carter out of the Picture any...

At such a late time, it is not likely that Mondale would run for President, remember he had declined to enter the Democratic Primaries. To enter after April 1980 would be a distinct disadvantage in seeking the nomination. The following would have already occurred before he drops out: January...

In 1999 and 2000 Barack H. Obama missed 1/3rd of all Senate votes, just like his primary opponent John S. McCain did. In votes that they cast there were only two votes where they voted differently. He voted and rubberstamped everything he later claimed to be against, and he then continued the...

Only two women ever became elected to the Politburo Yekaterina Furtseva (1957–1961) Galina Semyonova (1990-1991)

Reza largely believed in the separation of religion and politics. He was educated in the United States. His wife was also educated in the United States. He's written some books but I've not read them so hard to know exactly, I would expect a more Turkish approach to government than the...

If Khomeini had remained in Iraq, he most likely would have been killed by Saddam Hussein in his rise to power. Note it was Saddam when he was VP of Iraq who told Khomeini it would be better for him to leave, and then both men once they rose to power would bring the 8 year war. Given the chance...

They can be but to be so they have to control Gibraltor. If Spain had joined the Axis I could see the North African campaign going much more in the favor of the Axis as it would have prevented the British from cutting off Rommel's supply lines.

I believe as others point out that Phase II would have occurred with a resurgence. 1966 to 1968 for TOS Phase II would come earlier I believe, probably by the mid 70s (Before Star Wars) in this scenario as it would better received, this instead of Gene's film attempts at a Motion picture at...

You have 50 Kale bombers with AP Bombs 40 Kale bombers with Type 91 torpedoes 54 Val dive bombers 45 Zeke Fighters 45 Fighters against 390, I don't care how good you are you are dying.... Not to mention the ship AAs and shore AAs lighting up the sky. Damage to the US fleet will be...

Given 3 hours notice it's not going to be the lopsided event it was in OTL. The crews will be on the ships, all the AA guns will be manned, planes will be in the air. I would not beach any of the ships that would endanger them and take time. I would move away from Battleship row and spread...

It would depend on the size of the country and its GDP. It's been estimated for example if the United States was to invest just 1% of its GDP today into space travel it could have a reliable interplanetary vessel within 20 years. However the US economy is fairly large, a country with less...

Cool we agree on this :)

Our Army increased ten fold at the start of WWI, which Germany hadn't counted on and what ultimately led to their loss. It's all in how you craft it, remember 47% of Mexico is owned by Americans at this time, it could be seen as a way to protect American interests and American citizens working...

The North is largely Catholic at this time. TR isn't one to give up :). He was a strong a personality as FDR ever was. This time though he's going to protect American interests, after all we own 47% of the territory in question. He's just moving to protect our interests is all. It could and...
