But it still has the McGovern demographic, the social-liberals?

Yeah
I guess the party is something similar to the party circa 1972 - much like Humphrey's run from that year - still appealing to blue collar whites etc.
And very much for racial equality!
The Montana politician, but I would be lying if I said the overlap with the premier wasn't a large factor in choosing her.
No that's actually great! I'm guessing Christy Clark (the Montana Lady) is either The Governor/Senator at this point in time?
EDIT: Also, how do you make those maps? I've seen them on the wikipedia infoboxes but I don't know how to create them

That is actually the only wikibox I've seen that reversed the Democratic and Republican colors.Cross-posted from my new Shared Worlds game, In Our Own Hands:

You mean red for the Democrats and blue for the Republicans? That's how it used to be, before 2000, anyways. And with a POD in the late 40's, well...
Before 2000, the colours were inconsistent. The parties didn't really use them, but half the news networks used blue for the Republicans and the other half used red (and vice versa for the Democrats), but after the craziness of the 2000 election and its aftermath the current D Blue and R Red colour scheme became so prominent that it stuck.

If you want something truly divergent, go with Gold for Republicans. IIRC, it was used to signify the Party during either 1980 or 1984, because Red was equated to Communism.
I figured senator, as a balance to Governor Kean, but... I'm sure you can tell my primary decision in choosing running mates was the names.
Download the SVG from Wikipedia, then monkey around with it in your SVG editor of choice (I use Illustrator, but I believe the popular, free one here is Inkscape).

That's what I did in a chrome os svg editor, but it didn't really fit in my Infobox so I had to make it really small.

Korea's earliest uses by the Americans, was as a base of operations during the Boxer Rebellion. Under the administration of Governor Roosevelt, Korea was kept much the same -- with the only exceptions being the dismantling of what Teddy saw as "unconstructive institutions". Modernizing Korea was the first and only focus of his administration. After Governor Roosevelt departed the colony in 1899 to run for Vice President of the United States, the colony was turned over to Carroll S. Page, the former Governor of Vermont. Achieving control of the American colony through political favors, his administration lasted 7 years and did little to progress the Korean peoples forward in any manner -- most of his time there was spent on frivolity. However, the only notable thing that was done, was the "hands off" approach to governing Korea took hold, allowing the Korean natives a significant amount of self-determination in many aspects of society.
James Budd, whom followed in 1906, was much more involved in governing Korea, bringing on several former advisors to the Korean monarch into his own court to guide him on how to deal with the people of Korea without bringing them to rage against the American administration. During his two years as Administrative Governor of Korea, he introduced new policy initiatives to extend primary education to all Koreans, and to invigorate the peninsula's economic power -- as well as establishing the Korean National Guard, after an altercation with the Imperial Japanese military on the Dokdo Islands in 1907.
Adna Chaffee was appointed to the office after Budd's death in July 1908. Military by nature, he focused on enhancing American military presence in Korea, and strengthening the colonial guardsmen. Back in the US, he consistently advocated for Koreans to be given rights as citizens -- or at least, given the rights to help participate in government, at least at home in Korea. During his administration, Korean men were granted right to vote in municipal and provincial elections in Korea, but were still not considered US citizenry. He died on November 1, 1914.
Leonard Wood was a military governor, appointed to govern Korea during World War I -- where the United States was fighting a war against Germany and China on their own front-door. While the United States managed to keep Japan neutral (and thus avoiding an attack on Korea), Korea was not immune to rationing, and other wartime restrictions as seen in the Continental US. After the end of World War I in 1919, Leonard Wood redacted many of the wartime policies, including rationing. His administration was notable as it included the first Korean man to be Deputy Governor -- Syngman Rhee was anointed Deputy in 1917, and remained deputy until 1928.
Park Trammel was a "peacekeeper", attempting to win over the native Koreans without taking too much away from them -- education increased, infrastructure projects were started, and attempted to convince Americans to come to visit Korea for tourism -- thus bringing more money into the Korean economy. He died in office on May 8, 1936. President Franklin Roosevelt, piloting his own New Deal program, needed a man who would follow the project, and was incredibly influential.
Thus enters Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. -- a diplomat by trade, and a hell of a corrupted individual, Kennedy spent very little time in Korea, delegating power of governance to his Korean advisors, his Deputies, and others in the halls of Seoul's government. He, however, carbon-copied many of FDR's New Deal policies into Korea, hoping to jumpstart a flagging economy. On December 7, 1941 -- the Empire of Japan launched an all-out assault against American Korea, the Manchurian warlord state, the Phillippines and Indonesia -- by the end of the month, Korea had been occupied by the Japanese, who instituted a brutal occupation regime under General Yasuji. The brutality of the Japanese occupier, and the fact that American military officers in Korea refused to retreat and stood their ground with the Koreans, kept Korea's partisans loyal to the Stars and Stripes through out World War II.
Korea was liberated by U.S. Marines and Armed Forces in September 1945 -- 16 months before the surrender of the Empire of Japan was received. Chester W. Nimitz, the commander of the American navy in the Pacific, was Military Governor of Korea until January 1954, and resigned after the negotiations for Korean statehood began. Kim Kyu-sik was named Governor-General, and on October 1, 1956, after the Asian Territorial Statehood Act of 1956 went into effect, he became a Governor of one of the states established in Korea (as the peninsula itself was too populous to admit as one big state, same applied to Japan and the Philippines).
