  1. President Nixon, 1953

    Let's say that Nixon chooses to deliver the CA delegation to Taft over Ike. Taft wins and selects Nixon as his running mate. Taft/Nixon defeat Stevenson in November. Taft dies in 53 per OTL - what does President Nixon do? On civil rights? On the Supreme Court? On foreign policy? What happens in...

  3. WI Nixon picked Bush in 68

    Apparently, George HW Bush was heavily considered for Vice President in 1968. 1) If Nixon picked Bush, could bush have simultaneously run for his House seat? 2) If Nixon wins, how does this affect things? Assuming watergate still happens, is Bush scarred by the image of Nixon more than...

  4. WI: No Far-Right Rise

    What if Reagan wins the '76 Republican nomination and loses to Carter. Let's say in '80 the Republicans nominate GHWBush, blaming Reagan and the far-right for their loss in the general, who goes on to win the election. What happens to the far-right of the Republican Party if they are prevented...

  5. AH Ideas Involving GHWBush

    Meacham's new biography is sure to spark many ideas for me about the alternate history involved with our 41st president. Which of the following ideas would you most like to see created into a timeline? I would also ask for some discussion if you're so inclined. Bush is reelected in 1992: A...

    Based off of this thread. Post alternate campaign logos here. I'll start us off with one for a candidate I've often used in timelines: Gerry Ferraro. Inspiration, of course, taken from her mentee who is currently a presidential aspirant herself.

  11. WI: Korean War Stopped at 38th Parallel

    What if Truman had ordered the Korean War stopped when we had successfully pushed North Korea back to the 38th parallel? What would public reaction be like at home? How would this have changed the situation in Korea for the next few years/decades to come?

  12. WI: No Harry Truman?

    I've been reading Truman by David McCullough - a book that has only surpassed my (already quite high) expectations - and I was intrigued by just how close Sen. Truman was to defeat in his 1940 reelection bid. Before reading this part of the book today, I had no idea that Truman nearly lost his...

  14. Possible PODs Involving FDR

    Hey all, For a potential future timeline, I'm kicking around a POD involving FDR so I can have an excuse to justify hours of research into learning about him (:p) so what do you think are some good PODs involving FDR that I could explore? Thanks for your help.

  15. WI: Reagan Swaps Bork/Scalia Nominations

    I'm reading Scalia by Bruce Allen Murphy and he makes an interesting point (articulated also by Jan Crawford Greenburg in Supreme Conflict) that had Reagan nominated Bork, not Scalia, in 1986, that Bork could have been confirmed at this earlier date, and that later, in 1987, Scalia could have...

    Oh God... What? Nothing. C'mon, what? Another one? Another wh- Oh. Mhmm. So Audacity of Opposition is over. What a shock. It isn't over! There'll be an update in it this week, with the GOP Primaries. Uh huh. C'mon, this little project will be good. I'm sure...

  17. President Hubert Humphrey's Agenda

    Hey all, HHH nearly won the 1968 Election, and yet when I did a search through the Boards I only found a few discussions about what HHH winning would mean for the nation, and fewer still contained well-researched contributions, and even fewer still focused on the policy HHH would push for as...

  18. WI: Nixon Declares Martial Law

    Slightly improbable, but Nixon is Nixon so perhaps not out of the question: On the night of the Saturday Night Massacre, when Nixon felt the walls of Watergate coming down around him, he ordered the military on Red Alert "because of intelligence" but Senators Mansfield and Scott, who met with...

  19. The Audacity of Opposition

    The Audacity of Opposition. On November 4, 2008, the United States made history when it elected Barack Hussein Obama to be the first African-American president of the United States. To become the nation's 44th chief executive, Barack Obama was forced to navigate a difficult primary...

  20. WI: Senator Theresa Heinz

    According to this article, Theresa Heinz was pressured by the Republican Party to seek the seat of her late husband, H. John Heinz III, when Heinz died in plane crash in 1991. She declined, but admits that she came very close to saying yes. Four years later, she married Senator John Kerry...
