  1. AHC: Civil Rights Leader Elected Senator/Governor

    Andrew Young came fairly close to winning the Democratic primary against Zell Miller in 1990 for the Georgia Gubernatorial race. If the Mayor and former UN Ambassador can moderate some of his position, I can see him squeeking by Isakon, on Wilderesque margins, but should be enough to get him...

  2. Amtrak: The Road to Recovery

    I believe he was talking about the state of Pennsylvania, being T'd off about the Downeaster electrificiation. I imagine it would be a more of east and west split in the state, esp if Allentown is given the clear for a NEC extension and electrification. Most of the growth in the state has been...

  3. Amtrak: The Road to Recovery

    Nice update Dev, still waiting on a Keystone centric installment but I'm sure with more successful and timely electrification effort of the Chicago Hub, other states are going to be jumping at the chance to extend the services. Keep it coming bud:D

  4. The Biden Express

    Great last round of updates Whan, I just had a quick question on what's Gen. Powell's role in Biden's administration? It seems to me that with his credentials, Biden would want for him to stick around as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. I am interested however, in the potential political...

  5. This Time There's A Difference

    Interesting Timeline you got yourself here Theodore, I've always wanted to see someone do a thorough Rocky in '60 TL, but they never seem to get past the election phase. I can't wait to the inevitable clashes between POTUS and the VP, with if Rocky treats Goldwater they way that Jack treated LBJ...

  6. Amtrak: The Road to Recovery

    Well that makes more sense, it seems when there multiple passenger rail trips, the Pittsburgh to DC/Philly actually managed better times than we see today with the Pennsylvanian. I think the now cancelled Three Rivers service pushed 20 hours for Chicago-Pittsburgh-Philadelphia-NYC...

  7. Amtrak: The Road to Recovery

    Great last round of updates Devy, I've been keeping up with this TL even if I haven't really been commenting as I should. I had a question in regards to you last update in which you stated that President Clinton was converted by a 10 Hour trip from Washington to Chicago. I just have to argue...

  8. When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

    It Shall Return: March 2013 "When I become President, I will take you up to the White House with me," he liked to tell people. Joe's quick rise to prominence on campus gave resonance to his boasts. Quoted in Robert Dallek, An Unfinished Life (OTL) 2003 John Kenneth Galbraith was at...

  9. AHC/WI: President Ann Richards

    Or if we don't want to change her Keynote Address in 1988, You could see her become President in 1996 in a Dukakis/Bentsen wins TL. Although, Governor Bill Clements was a Republican and would appoint a republican to fill Bensten's vacated seat, Texas law requires that a special election must be...

  10. Decision Points: The Presidency of Al Gore

    Great way to finish up the campaign HC, I actually wasn't expecting the win to be that close. I though McCain would be able pick off Michigan and Pennsylvania which would have allowed him to run up his totals a little bit. But it's also really hard to beat an incumbent, especially given the...

  11. "The Bloody Man"

    Epic Battle between Cromwell and the shark, (the Buffy fan in me smiled at the description of the shark as a beast of the Hellmouth lol), and would be perfectly suitable for a massive portrait in the halls of a future capitol building. With the merger of the New Netherlands into the...

  12. AHC Roy Cohn, Mayor of New York

    I was going to make this thread a DBWI but, I would like to see some serious discussion about it . With the recent death of three-term Mayor of New York, Ed Koch and re-reading some of the classic '50's Dystopia Timelines on the board, I was wondering was there any way to elect Roy Cohn as Mayor...

  13. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Bah, Where's the fun in that? lol. Drew has shown himself to be one of the best constitutional scholars on this board by showcasing the legal consequences from self -pardoning, to the election of a Speaker of the House of Representatives who was not even a Congressman and to the infamous...

  14. Iran-Contra and the Fall of Ronald Reagan

    Great Update LHB, Keep it comming:D

  15. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    If the film was made IOTL, I'd Imagine that Ian Richardson would have his hair dyed dark for the park. I watched some old video from Cheney from the early '80's in the CSPAN Archive, and the man still had a healthy grade of hair and was pretty trim physically. Whether he looks the same as the...

  16. Hope Is On The Way

    Solid and effective update, as I think it's plausible that Kerry's more of micro-management type of style would have lead to more cohesion in the response to Katrina unlike OTL. Also the update on the pope's death was touching, and as long as President Kerry continue to establish that personal...

  17. Decision Points: The Presidency of Al Gore

    Awesome Convention update Hc, It's going to be one hell of a fight.

  18. Decision Points: The Presidency of Al Gore

    Awesome latest installment HC, I think you hit the argument that why Santorum would still end up being the last man standing from the Social Conservative wing in the party? I noticed that you had Rick loose Michigan ITTL as he did IOTL, but I wonder what was your rationale about that. I...

  19. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Well I think most folks who lived as contemporaries during OTL '82-83 probably felt as if things looked more or less hard as it had been economically during the '70's. I am in no way defending OTL Reagan or TTL's Rumsfeld economic policy, but I still think they'll be a break in fever for the...

  20. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Wow, what an interesting series of updates Drew. I don't even know where to start in terms of questions, as its kinda of overwhelming...from the Chinese-born Superflu-to Cheney's secret shenanigans to get a Chinese national to take the blame for spread it...throws so many things up in the air...
