Good God!
Hmmm, I was actually thinking about this TL recently. Since real life time constraints forced me to sadly abandon my other project (it will return, some day, I promise!) on this site, I was thinking of writing a sequel of sorts to Limits.
Sort of a WI within a WI - What if Brown wins in 1980? - and take it from there.
I think I might do it. Stay tuned. If anyone cares.
PS: I'll probably just continue it within this thread if I do, so, uh, yeah.

YES!!!
I would love if you did a sequel for this!
(Now, I like the idea about a Brown '80 sequel, but here's another idea: What if Jerry Brown decides to run for "re-election" in 1992, running to succeed President Carter? Just throwing it out there, although I'm hyped for whatever this will be about)

I think Jerry Brown running in 1984 would be better, because 1992 already has the 8-year Dem fatigue.
NEVER1984's an intriguing premise, actually...
Oh God, I think I'm going to start updating this thing again. Someone stop me before I write again!

Please do more Jerry Brown! He needs a second chance. Pull a Cleveland. Space! Jerry Brown! Can't...think...too excited!
I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles

Soon I will be president (again!)...

I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you

Now it is 1984
Knock-knock at your front door
It's the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece
Come quietly to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower.
DIE on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg's already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown

Come on that's just begging for a continuation. You even have a title

I did a search on Walter Mondale and this TL popped up and I loved it. I would have read it all in one sitting but I had to leave work . All in one day isn't bad though!
. All in one day isn't bad though!So yeah, I'm writing a basic outline at the moment of what a sequel to this would look like. It's happening... hopefully will have the first new installment up in a couple of weeks.
EDIT: Actually, since this is basically going to be a rather large revision to the timeline - erasing what happens after 1980 or so and changing it completely - I'll probably open up a new thread and copy and paste the "original" parts of the TL I want to keep into that. That'd also give me a chance to do a little editing and polish the thing up a little for its new, expanded edition.

HOORAY!
And yeah, that's a good idea. I need to brush up on the first Jerry Brown presidency before I read the sequel, and this gives me a great excuse.

The plan is to retain most of the original events - take out my godawful British stuff, re-arrange a few things, but not much - and probably have the 1980 election end with no outright winner, and, thus, a battle in the House. Which will be great fun.

I hope you have Brown get a second term. He's too awesome to not get one. Woah, he was 38 when he first became president? That's the youngest by a long shot.
