    If the 22nd Amendment Had Not Passed, Would Eisenhower Have Run for a Third Term?

    Oh, I think he didn't campaign for Nixon bc he fckng hated him loll but I agree w your general point that he was 1) In terrible health; 2) Could not have survived a third term

    If the 22nd Amendment Had Not Passed, Would Eisenhower Have Run for a Third Term?

    Ron explicitly shares that he noticed cognitive decline in the second term and that afterwards he grew so worried he spent a day shadowing Reagan — and that day did nothing to abate his concern. Source here...

    Jimmy Two: America in Carter's Second Term

    Just a quick update that we've reached one of those periods where the posted chapters have basically caught up to the written ones and the outline -- will be spending some time over the next few weeks extensively outlining some of the remaining plot points of Mr. Carter's second term, and then...

    TLIAW: Nor the Battle to the Strong

    After reading Booker's chapter, I did not think you could top it. And then today happened -- I love how in the Newsom chapter there's less affection for the subject from our in-character author than in others. I think why Booker and Newsom stand out to me is capturing something real about their...

    All the Way to Washington: Howard Dean and the Fight to Take Back America

    Edwards' affair was 100% butterfliable. He did not meet Rielle until after the 2004 election and in all of the years since there's never been another accusation of him having affair that I'm aware of. Not defending his affair with Rielle at all, but I do think it's plausible that if he doesn't...

    WI: President Ralph Nader '72

    This is key to the whole thing, and it's why I think you're justified, as @Naderposting says in it being 50-50 FDR or Carter. He's aligned with the liberal base (something Carter didn't have going for him) but he's still a prick... I lean towards, the joys of Nader swooping in give him one...

    Geronimo : What if Osama Bin Laden was killed prior to 9/11?

    Yeah, I'm expecting some kind of direct stimulus. Also, I am not saying that there aren't some big structural problems, rather they may unfold on a different timeline as OTL. For example, I remember reading in some of the discussions about a Kerry presidency that stepping into the mess earlier...

    Geronimo : What if Osama Bin Laden was killed prior to 9/11?

    The economy is always the biggest indicator. Study after study has since proven that Perot drew evenly from both sides, maybe a little more than Bush. The only state he would have impacted, IIRC, is Ohio, which was not enough to swing the election to Bush. If we are seeing a recession, Edwards...

    Jimmy Two: America in Carter's Second Term

    Most of your other notes here pre-date the J2 POD, but I wasn't really settled on an an alternative Pope until writing the chapter. Originally, I had considered Giovanni Colombo, assuming that with two popes dead in such quick succession, he would feel compelled to emerge as the compromise...
