I'm challenging everyone to be creative here and come up with the most interesting list of presidents they can from 1952 to the present day. The 22nd amendment is optional, celebrity presidents are welcome, and third party movements are encouraged. Discussion of what the timelines would look like is also encouraged.

Now for my list:

1952: Dwight D. Eisenhower/Harold Stassen (R)
1956: Dwight D. Eisenhower/Harold Stassen (R)
1960: Dwight D. Eisenhower/Harold Stassen (R)
1964: Robert F. Kennedy/Stuart Symington (D)
1968: Barry Goldwater/William E. Miller (R)
1972: Barry Goldwater/William E. Miller (R)
1976: Terry Sanford/Robert Byrd (D)
1978: Robert Byrd/Walter Mondale (D) (Terry Sanford assassinated)
1980: Les Paul/George H.W. Bush (R) (Think Reagan but more socially liberal)
1984: Les Paul/George H.W. Bush (R)
1988: Sandra Day O'Connor-Paul/Jack Kemp (R) (No one ever does alternate marriages)
1992: Ross Perot/James Stockdale (I)
1996: Ross Perot/James Stockdale (I)
2000: John McCain/Hillary Rodham (R) (Since she was a Goldwater girl)
2004: John McCain/Hillary Rodham (R)
2008: Jesse Jackson/Eric Shinseki (D)
2012: Jesse Jackson/Eric Shinseki (D)

So, with that, tell me what could have been done better and what is too OTLish, and what my timeline would look like, then, make your own and see what people think about it.
