I'm thinking of an overhaul for this TL. Perhaps a tone change with pictures added. What does everyone think? Is the current style ok, or would some pictures and dialogue make this more lively?

Without a doubt, pictures and bits of dialogue/excerpts from memoirs or history books would make it more lively. I wouldn't go so far as an overhaul though, you could just start the new updates with that format.
Correct me if I am wrong but didn't I read on this thread that Marriane Gingrich died in 2000? So is that interview that is going to air tonight a seance?

Would the sudden transition be too much though? It would start with these snippets of info and then a sudden burst into the new format.
When does Ted Kennedy keel over and die from exhaustion during the campaign?He may be younger (68) than Reagan was, but he's an OLD 68! Where is he suddenly getting all this energy? Addiction to speed? Well, based on past performance...
This will be only his second really challenging election is his life.
Just because Newt broke off with Callista, what's to keep her quiet ITTL?![]()
Kennedy is old at this point, but not too old. He was still very active at this stage of his life, and I think that a Presidential campaign wouldn't be too much of a strain on him. Just look at McCain. If he can do it, so can Kennedy.

I must admit you have me there.BTW, what's keeping W from throwing his hat in? Waiting for a better year? Ditto Jeb?

kevvy2010, I don't know how old you are, or if you were politically aware during the Clinton Wars (?), but believe me when I tell you that while Gingrich himself may not have been a card carrying member of the Vast Right Wing Conspriracy[SIZE=-4](tm)[/SIZE] he was very close to quite a few of them.
And when Impeachment came to the House he was one of the biggest supporters of it. He openly boasted that once Clinton was removed, Gore would pardon Clinton, Congress would remove Gore for THAT, and HE, Gingrich, would be sworn in as POTUS!
All this is still fresh in the public's memory. So if Callista comes forward anytime prior to the 2000 Election, this TL could start to look like BlairWitch749's Clinton TL in reverse!
This is a great TL.But just remember this: Saddam didn't try to kill Newt's daddy. Or mommy. Or whatever.
