  1. More Communist States in Africa?

    I was reading up on Communist Parties in Africa for a timeline I've been writing and while most never gained power - or if they had it, have since lost it, I was curious what if there was still a communist country in Africa? First, I'm curious on Benin and the Republic of Congo-Brazzaville -...

  2. Jesse Jackson 2000?

    I've been thinking about the possibility of Reverend Jesse Jackson mounting a third run in 2000, along with what his presidency could be like if he somehow won. While I'm aware that his left wing policies likely mean he'd be unelectable in 2000, and his controversial Anti-Semitic comments in the...

  3. WI: Libyan Civil War in... 1969?

    On September 1st, 1979, Muammar Gaddafi led a coup against the King of Libya and overthrew him - and while there were some worries about internal resistance from the King or his son, his son ended up declaring support for the new government and renouncing his rights to the throne. It should be...

  4. Plausibility Check: Savimbi wins in Angola and RENAMO wins in Mozambique?

    I'm trying to write a somewhat large althist covering the world and was curious if it was possible for Angola and Mozambique to either not go Communist *or* for their respective Anti-Communist forces to win the civil wars. With Angola, this seems more doable though I'm still curious how to have...

  5. WI: Linda Lingle still active in politics?

    I was curious if Linda Lingle, who had served as Governor of Hawaii from 2002-2010, and also as the most recent Republican in that post, could potentially compete in national politics. Basically,if she ran for a House seat,could she win and could she potentially keep it? Could her Senate...

  6. AHC: Democratic and Stable Afghanistan

    With any PoD,somehow make Afghanistan a Democratic state. It doesn't have to be completely so however,it can be have low-level insurgency but so long as it's mostly democratic and stable then it's fine. Bonus points if you somehow successfully transition Afghanistan into a Republic during/after...

  7. Plausibility Check: Chuck Norris goes into Politics?

    I was wondering if Chuck Norris,a GOP-aligned actor who has been active in donating to the party since '88,would ever enter politics himself? Also let's say he did,would he ever be able to get elected to the House,the Senate or Governor? I'd assume he'd represent Texas but he could go back to...

  8. United Socialist Party in the US?

    So from what I can tell, there are at least 9 current socialist parties in the US. What PoD would be necessary to unify them all into one party and would this party be considered equal to at least the Constitution Party in terms of support? Also a potentially unrelated question,why are there...

  9. Republicans Win '08,Democratic Primary Candidates for '12?

    So let's say somehow the Republicans win 2008,who would the candidates be for the Democratic Primaries in 2012? Also who would the nominee be? I realize Hillary Clinton would probably be a huge player but what about Bernie Sanders four years earlier or Martin O'Malley? Maybe Donald Trump...

  10. Bumpers '92?

    Apparently,in 1992,Bill Clinton stated that he wouldn't have run if Senator Dale Bumpers of Arkansas did so my questions are What would it have taken to get Bumpers to run,How would his campaign look and How would his Presidency look if he managed to win?

  11. President/VP Mink?

    How plausible is it for Patsy Mink to become President,or at very least,Vice President of the United States? Also,could she have ran in any other year(such as 1976 or 1980) and potentially have done better then she did OTL?

  12. Governor Callaway?

    Let's say Callaway wins the 1966 Gubernatorial Elections,either because there is no massive write-in campaign of Ellis Arnall or maybe he somehow manages to gain a bit more support. How would he be as Governor? Could he have won re-election and what were his policies toward Desegregation...

  13. President Willkie

    What would it take to make Willkie win the Presidency in 1940? Also,let's say he didn't die,would he have been able to win in 1944? Also,what would his Presidency be like? From what i've read,he was Pro-Desegregation,would he have tried to get the Civil Rights Bill passed earlier? Also,let's...

  14. Jerry Brown 1976?

    If Brown managed to win the 1976 Democratic Primaries,how would he do in the General Elections,who would he pick as his VP,and how different would his Presidency have been from Carter's? Also,would it be plausible for him to win the 1980 Elections somehow given the Iranian Hostage Crisis and...

  15. President Powell's Cabinet?

    So let's say that Colin Powell was elected in say either 1996 or 2000,who would've most likely been in his cabinet? I personally think he would've put Cheney in there from what i've read,they apparently got along.

  16. Governor Ed Koch?

    If Ed Koch didn't disparage Upstate NY in that interview with Playboy(or just didn't have the interview),would he have been able to win the Governorship of New York over Cuomo? Also,if he somehow had,how would his time as Governor be different from Cuomo's besides being more Conservative and...

  17. Presidential Primaries w/ no 9/11

    I was thinking about what would the '04,'08,'12,and '16 Primaries look like without no 9/11? I figure Kerry wouldn't get the nomination in 2004,and Dean wouldn't be as popular. Obama wouldn't have been a candidate in 2008, McCain also wouldn't have won the nomination, and in 2016 we wouldn't...
