I feel a bit in the polling mood today, so here we go.

This might serve as some insight for a TL that I've been throwing around for a while.
 
I can't honestly tell which of the two men is the more liberal, but I'll hedge my bet for Carter for his strong stance in favor of energy independence and my dislike of Rockefeller's draconian drug policy views.

I am wondering how Rockefeller gets the nomination in 1976. That year the less conservatuve candidate won the Republican nomination because he was Presdient.

Rcokefeller becomes President after Ford is assassinated in late 1975, just early enough to leave Donald Rumsfeld as his Sec. Of Defense, who is nominated as a running mate in '76. Rcokefeller would basically win due to the fact the Ford had just been killed several months earlier, and the fact that he was already President.

I'd probably vote for Rockefeller/Rumsfeld. Then again, if this is the 1976 election, then we'll have a President Rumsfeld! :eek:
 
Carter, mainly because Jesus fucking Christ Donald Rumsfeld would be Vice-President.

With Rockefeller dying on January 26, 1979 in OTL, Rummy will be leading the country :)

Eek///\\\

Who's the third party by this time ?

I'd be born in the Rumsfield Adminstration-- I wonder how he would have dealt with the hostages in Iran (not really, I know how he would) or how he might handle the Soviet invasion of Afganistan in a way that did not involve just pushing the button.

Of course ITTL if Rocky wins, when he has his heart attack there are Secret Service agents trained in CPR in the next room.[

Good point - if he's incapacitated, it would be an interesting scenario

Who would have been their Secretary of State and of Defense ?

(had to spell it with an S, damn it !)
