DBWI: Harvey Milk killed

I'm no expert on San Francisco, so I couldn't say what no Mayor Milk (or cutting Moscone's term) short would mean; don't know who the Dems would nominate for the gubernatorial election of 1990, but I imagine they'd probably lose too*...

*(if for no other reason than because Californians were ready for a change after eight years of Bradley)
 
I wonder who might have won the 1982 Governors election if not Moscone, also being put in a wheelchair by White made him a hell of a advice for the disabled, he's the one that made the paralympics, I doubt they'd be on TV today with out him as its long time chairman and champion, also his reelection in '10 wonder who the Governor would be with out him.


that of course is the lesser of the two, no Senator Milk, its funny he lost the Governor's race only to take Pete's seat
 
I suspect the 2004 Democratic campaign would have gone differently without Milk in the running.

Still hate it how that imbecile Edwards got him to drop out of the race with promises of a VP slot, then took it back at the last minute during the convention to give it to Clinton.

we all wish we had elected President Milk, that he fought it out on the DNC floor with the supers, I mean the President getting caught cheating on the dying First Lady and Veep Bill cheating on Senator Hillary with like 20 interns :( 2008 was a mess too, Governor Eliot Spitzer (the Front runner) getting bussed for Hookers the day become the DNC, and the dark horse (and only one with any delegates) Rep. Anthony D. Weiner getting busted sexting during the 3 round of voting (that he won) :(
 
And for that is a Irony than the only monogamous Democrat is a Homosexual...

Maybe his dead will make a riot(the anti-homosexual sentiment was so high and the attempt was the proved of it), and give a lot of blood to the sexual revolution in the USA...
 
Well I imagine that the imedeate effect would be homosexuals rioting throughout San Francisco. There would be tough anti-gay laws being passed throughout the states if the riots get out of hand. there is the possibility that the homosexual community would remain peaceful. Hold some vigils, mourn their loss peacefully. That would be as big a boost to their movement as Milk winning the gubenatorial election in 1990.

The later effects would be that Pete Wilson would win in the 1990 gubenatorial election and remain in office. As the best the Democrats could muster would be Feinstein. I imagine that the Republicans could retain the California Govenor's seat until 2004 without a voice like Milk. George W. Bush would have an easier time in 04'. As without Milk the best the Democrats could muster was a Edwards/Dean ticket, which stood no chance to Bush.

Milk would still have a legacy despite not being the first homosexual govenor of Florida or giving Bush a run for his money in 04'. Yet he would have a much smaller section in the history books.
 
Moscone, Milk Murders.

...But they were both killed, weren't they? And White got off with a 7 year sentence, triggering riots in the Castro in 1979.
