Flower Power

As someone whos live din Maryland there whole life, I dont see any way in hell bush could even plausibly win Maryland, actually I think Brown could have won it by a fair margin.

Other than that though the map looks pretty good nice TL.

To be fair, he did win the state in 1988...:p
 
Can't wait to see what Bush's second term (or Quayle's first one) will be like. It'd be interesting to see what the likes of Gingritch do in this TL-and of course what affect a Clintonless US will have on UK politics.

I think I've worked out the 96 nominees as well, but I won't say who I think they are until nearer the time.
 
Jesse Jackson becomes VP candidate in TL were Clinton implodes due to out of wedlock activities

I think the irony just made my brain explode :eek: given that Jackson:

A: Had extramarital affairs
B: Had a child out of wedlock with one of his mistresses
C: Has been the subject of male on male sexual harrassment lawsuits at his foundation

I hate to call ASB; but Jackson would never EVER survive a vetting process IRL let alone one where people are going to have heightened sensitivity to extramarital affairs

Just to point this out: I never had any intention of making Jesse Jackson Vice President. He was just a footnote in the race.
 
I was actually expecting the Democratic Convention to choose Tsongas for President and Brown for VP. Jesse Jackson as the running mate is ASB. This is good nonetheless.
 
Awesome, but I'm very interested about the future of the Democratic Party. As you've addressed, the party will undergo massive shifts after four consecutive defeats. It's also interesting that you have Tsongas being their leader. Should he die at the same time ITTL as he did in OTL maybe this could be a party without a leader, leading to its demise and ultimate division.

Very interesting stuff here! And you got one of my favorite President's a second term, so kudos for that. 41 > Reagan
 
Once again, I find myself questioning the decisions I made regarding this timeline. My original plans now seem implausible and outlandish. I am considering either a reboot with a second PoD at an earlier point in this story, or just going on with the one I have now.

Either way, I don't know about this timeline's future right now. I may just start two timelines, a Flower Power 1 and 2, and see how things progress. I will decide by Wednesday, perhaps as early as tonight, if anybody cares.
