  1. WI George W. Bush pushed for Immigration Reform in early 2005?

    Instead of trying to force Social Security Reform at the beginning of his second term, what if George W. Bush decides to use his "earned capital" on Immigration Reform instead? Does he put his support behind the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act, working with Ted Kennedy and John McCain...
  2. The West Wing: Missing Year

    Basing this off of my West Wing If Sorkin Stays On thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=303381 I figure the "missing year" of The West Wing happens between "The Supremes" and "Talking Points". I wonder, in The West Wing universe, was a prescription drug plan...
  3. Democrats go Nuclear at the beginning of 2009?

    What if Harry Reid, having foreknowledge of what the Republicans would do (I know this is ASB, then again he could probably push for reform to make things easier), decides to enact Tom Harkin's filibuster reform proposal at the beginning of 2009? This is what the Harkin proposal would do...
  4. West Wing if Sorkin stays on?

    What if Aaron Sorkin doesn't leave "The West Wing" at the end of season 4? How would events, plots, and characters on the show proceed then, instead of how things happened IOTL?
  5. Alternate John Kerry Running Mates

    What if, instead of giving up his Senate seat in an attempt to run for President in 2004 and ending up as Kerry's V.P., John Edwards runs for reelection in North Carolina. Who do you think would John Kerry's running mate be? Gephardt? Daschle? One more thing, with Edwards running for...
  6. WI: John Volpe chosen as Richard Nixon's VP in 1968

    Inspired by this Politico article: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/08/opinion-joseph-bosco-richard-nixon-watergate-95308.html What if Richard Nixon selected Massachusetts Governor John Volpe as his running mate in 1968, instead of Spiro Agnew? Could his presence possibly prevent the...
  7. What If No Black Death?

    Suppose the Black Death doesn't happen in 14th Century Europe. How would it affect religion, culture, society, and population from that period to now?
  8. WI Max Baucus Retired in 2008?

    Since Senator K Street announced his retirement today, I was wondering what would've happened if he retired in 2008. Would Brian Schweitzer have run to replace Baucus? And how would issues such as health-care reform and taxes and financial reform be affected? I think they would be better...
  9. Everything Changes: A Timeline of a Robert F. Kennedy Presidency

    Ladies and gentleman. After a long while, I have begun my long-awaited and frequently-mentioned RFK TL: The various events that have occurred in 1968 left a stain on the American public. Riots, protests, an unpopular war, and the high-profile assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert...
  10. WI No Riots in Asbury Park in 1970?

    What if the July 1970 Riots in Asbury Park NJ didn't happen? Would the town not have declined so badly in the 70s and 80s? Perhaps it would've developed into a countercultural hub like Harvard Square or Berkley. And what of the music scene?
  11. What if more Americans rescued in the Canadian Caper?

    Was reading the book Argo, which details the planning and extraction of six American diplomats who avoided the hostage crisis and hid out in the Canadian Embassy in Tehran. In the book, I learned that there were another group of six Americans in the consul building who exited to the street, but...
  12. WI No 2007 Writer's Strike?

    Just like the title says. What would be different?
  13. RFK A New Democrat?

    Why is everyone assuming that RFK would've been a New Democrat like Clinton if he won in '68? I don't see what the big deal about RFK and Democrats of the DLC Mode. I just don't. Perhaps he is center-left, like hcallega said he was. But I don't believe in the pure-Centrist Democrat that others...
  14. The West Wing: President Bartlett's Accomplishments

    Can anybody please give me a detailed list of President Bartlett's accomplishment's? I know on The West Wing, he was responsible for middle-east peace, social security reform, the first female Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. I know there's a whole lot more, but there's never been a concrete...
  15. WI Harry Reid and the Democrats decided to fix the filibuster earlier?

    Inspired by recent news today, I decided to create a new timeline idea. The divergence is what if Harry Reid suddenly realized that the filibuster needed to be fixed at the beginning of the 111th Congress in 2009, instead of ignoring the problem until now. It shouldn't be too hard for him to...
  16. WI: Cabinet of RFK Administration

    I'm gonna start on my RFK TL. Actually, I'm in the preliminary stages and I am testing out some cabinet members. This forum will be similar in scope to Ariosto's WI: Cabinet of the McGovern Administration I'll try to make this post as less ASB as possible. These people listed here are the...
  17. A question for RogueBeaver

    Hey Roguebeaver, It's been a while since you updated your TL's or started a new TL. A lot of people (Myself included) are wondering when you will be starting a new TL soon or going back to the TL's that you left unfinished. Will you be back to writing Alternate History Timelines soon? Please...

  19. A Disturbance of Fate: A Timeline

    I will be starting my first timeline for this site. It will be a combination of the alternate history novel, A Disturbance of Fate, and some of my own ideas, with a little bit of influence from RogueBeaver and his work on The Impossible Dream and Duty, Honor, Country. Since this is my first...
  20. 2010 Elections Without Citizens United Decision

    How would the 2010 Mid-Term Elections turn out if the Supreme Court didn't listen or ruled against Citizens United? Would it be similar to the outcome we have or something completely different? Decide.
