If Republicans sign Civil Rights and Democrats are no different either (maybe more pro-Civil Rights Democrats become President), how do you think will DC and Maryland vote?

What if the Democrats won a majority in the House in the 1998 midterm elections? They did very well in the midterms, defying the 'six-year itch' to hold Republicans to 55 Senate seats and gain seats in the House. However, they failed to gain an outright majority in either house. What if the...

Harry Truman was a very popular man going into the Presidential Election of 1952. With a booming economy and successful foreign policy, he was sure he could make his mark every bit as strong as his predecessor. Republicans had other plans. They had, they felt, missed their chance in 1948, and...

Assuming LBJ does not run in 1968 due to health concerns [1], without the Vietnam War, who will Humphrey pick as his VP? Let's say RFK is alive, kicking, and is still in the poltical arena, but Humphrey still wins the Democratic nomination and wins in November that year[2]...

What if Hubert Humphrey was nominated in 1972 by the Democrats? Humphrey nearly won California, losing by 4.92%. Muskie didn't withdraw yet but obviously had no chance of winning and got 7.53% of the vote in California. Muskie withdraws, Humphrey squeaks out a win and wins all of California's...

I'm positive this has been asked before, but let's say Reagan was able to upset Ford in the 76 primary, and then Carter in the General Election. What would America be like after four (early) years of Reagan? Who would a likely VP choice be? Would he win reelection in 1980?

This is a look at what a few Alternate Party Systems might have looked like in the United States of America. PoD is Jefferson's 1784 proposal to ban slavery in new states goes through, instead of just in the Northwest. The changes early on are gradual, but eventually this will lead to a...

The challenge is to create an america with 2 political parties, probably still the Democrats and Republicans, who have dramatically different positions and voting coalitions than OTL Democrats and Republicans. The pod or pods have to be after 1900. It cant be a massive gain for 1 party, it has...

"I'm not trying to play Santa Claus"-Senator Tsongas answers why he won't promise a tax cut January 25, 1992: Former Massachusetts Senator Paul Tsongas, a fiscal conservative, rockets to a lead in the New Hampshire Democratic primary. Former frontrunner Bill Clinton has lost nearly 20 points in...

What if Jerry Brown won the 1992 Democratic nomination and the presidency? How could this be done? Not sure about the primaries, maybe Brown avoids his Jesse Jackson gaffe. I think he could win the general, Perot would probably stay dropped out and given Brown holds similar positions to him...

Pretty much what I say in the title. The Founding Fathers were convinced they could prevent the formation of parties and build an ideal republic - can they succeed, and if yes, how?

What if Condoleezza Rice had told somewhen "Nah, I don't want to be in the same party as Strom Thurmond is" and joined the Democrats? Would she've worked for Carter / Clinton (assuming they came to power as in OTL), and what would she've done? Would Clinton try to have something with her?
