While Kennedy's victory was likely and comfortable, it was not certain. Keating seemed to underestimate the threat and there was an infamous scuffle between Keating at a debate where he appeared to be literally running from the questions. What would happen if enough things fall in place that...

I’ve been trying to find a good database/reference for factions within the Confederate Senate.
