  1. WI: Obama wins New Hampshire.

    Coming out of Iowa, everyone pretty much thought Obama had New Hampshire locked down - leading in every poll once he received the Iowa bump. However, as we know, Hillary managed to eke out a victory and revived her dying campaign. What if, though, Obama turned around and won New Hampshire -...

  2. What if Obama dropped Biden in 2012 for Hillary?

    I don't think it was ever seriously thought of, but many in the media played up the idea of dropping Biden and adding Hillary. In early 2012, the consensus was forming, at least with a few in the Washington media, that the only way Obama could win was with Hillary on the ticket. So, let's say...

  3. DBWI: Leno takes over for Carson instead of Letterman...

    As you're all well aware, David Letterman announced tonight he will be retiring from The Tonight Show after 23 years of hosting the popular late-night program. Of course, Letterman beat out Leno to follow the legend himself - a battle that proved divisive and bitter to the point where Leno...

  4. What if Clinton had vetoed DOMA?

    Maybe unlikely because of the political climate. But with it being overturned today, it made me wonder the implications of such a veto. Firstly, Clinton was leading Dole by 20-plus points when he signed it into law. It's hard to fathom that vetoing the legislation would have eroded his support...

  5. Andrew Shepherd and the 1996 Presidential Election

    This will be a fun (or I think), short timelime looking at the 1996 presidential election between Andrew Shepherd and Bob Rumson. If you haven't guessed by now, this is in The American President universe and picks up moments after the movie ends. CRISIS AVERTED? The scene at the White...

  6. The Political Redemption of George H.W. Bush

    DESPERATION "It's not good..." Mary Matalin plopped down next to the President and handed him over a stack of papers mostly compiled of polls the campaign had run the night before. The results were devastating - if the election were held that day, it's likely Bush would have lost in a...

  7. FDR makes it through his whole fourth term...

    Maybe not likely due to his health concerns, but let's say FDR finishes his whole fourth term. How much different are his four years than Truman's essential four when he takes over from Roosevelt in April of FDR's first year of his fourth term? If Roosevelt is immaculately healthy, does he run...

  8. A Bridge to the 21st Century

    This is a semi-serious TL - I say semi-serious because the premise that allows for it to happen is unlikely, but the events following will be portrayed as real as possible. Essentially, we look at the 2000 U.S. election in the wake of the repeal of the 22nd Amendment. It's very unlikely, of...

  9. '88 Lone Star Showdown

    Chuck Robb knew he had to lay it out in the simplest terms possible. So, he did it about as simple as anyone could. He walked over to a chalkboard and scribbled and then circled the word WIN. The response was an awkward quietness that, for a moment anyway, was only broken by the uncomfortable...
