  4. WI: Nixon commits suicide during Watergate

    (Yes I got this idea from recent posts at the fantastic Richard Nixon twitter account.)

Kennedy is possibly/probably the most popular and well known of all conspiracy theories, a significant subset of Americans believe there's more to the official story and it dominated conspiracy thinking for decades.

  10. Possible consequences of state/s not ratifying Constitution?
