Question for the thread: Should I post my list as one big list with lots of footnotes or divide them up so it's not one big wall of text?

A man who wants to break-up the United Kingdom becoming it's leader is a plot worthy of a Roger Moore-era Bond film, thankfully Alyn Smith looks like a Bond villain anyway. Or possibly a red herring in a parody.

Just space things out in the one big post so it's not a wall of text, people have taken the broken down list too far.
I'll at least break it down to where it's no longer the same country.

1912: End of the First Republic
[1] – Tippicanoe was elected by Congress after the Whig gambit to deadlock the college to prevent Martin Van Buren's election succeeded, and attempted to pass Whig economic plans, including the reinstatement of the National Bank. However Harrison's presidency was dominated by foreign policy, with the Canadian Revolutions and the Canadian War for Independence breaking out mostly because of Harrison's support for the rebels. The Chartist Revolution in Britain essentially guaranteed an American victory in the war, which saw the Canadian republics granted independence under American guidance, and the Maine and Columbia borders set to the maximum American claims. During this time the Texan War for Independence break out to the nation's south, and the Texan government lobbied the Federal Government for annexation, but Harrison decided to leave the issue to the winner of the 1844 Election.
[2] – James Buchanan was elected mostly on the unpopularity of John Tyler, who while stating he was in favor of Texan annexation was painted by Buchanan as being for it solely for political gain. He passed the Texan annexation bill with minimal riding bills, to which the Mexican government responded by moving troops to what they considered the border, the Pecos River. The American government responded by moving its troops to the border, which was shortly followed by a skirmish, and an American declaration of war. The Mexican-American War resulted in the Treaty of Buenavista, which ceded to America the Mexican States of Chihuahua, Tejas, Las Californias, Nuevo Mexico, and Sonora. It also granted the independence of the nations of the Rio Grande Republic and the Yucatan under American guidance. But despite victory in the war, Buchanan was not able to help the Panic sweeping the nation's banks and was unable to gain reelection.
[3] – Winfield Scott, Old Fuss and Feathers, was elected on his wartime noteriety as well as via the virtue of not being James Buchanan. He led the nation through a period of peace that had been missed over the last decade, and enacted much legislation that would further the Whig Party's power.
[4] – Charles Sumner was elected President on the back of President Scott's endorsement, and pretty well stayed the course set about by his predecessor. This ran into issues with the Platte-Platte Act, which would have allowed territories to decide for themselves whether or not they had slavery, which essentially destroyed the Compromise which had kept the peace between Slave and Free States for so long. President Sumner vetoed this act, wishing to maintain the hard line between slave and free states, causing Vice President Houston to resign and run against the President in 1860, splitting the Whig vote between Sumner's “National” Whigs and Houston's “Opposition” Whigs.
[5] – Governor Fitch was elected because the Whig vote was split, and quietly passed the Platte-Pawnee Act soon after he entered office. But tensions began in his own party after he seemed to still want to limit the power of slaveowners, vetoing the Fugitive Slave Act. This left him the victim of his own party split, with the Southron Democrats splitting off with their own candidate in 1864.
[6] – Governor Seward of New York led a coalition of the Liberty Party and National Whigs to victory in 1864, promising to keep slavery only in territories that had up to that point already voted for slavery, or below the Compromise Line. This began a crisis that would eventually cause a civil war, with the southern states seceeding as the Southron Republic. Seward would oversee the war utilizing many new inventions such as the Morse Wire, and the Pierce Gun to devastating effect. However the war would still last 6 long years, being surpassed in its ferocity only by the Second Civil War.
[7] – The 1868 saw the codification of Seward's coalition of Northern Whigs and Liberty Party members into the National Union Party alongside the Peace Democrats, the party that came to dominate what became known as the Third Party System. Seward would die of a stroke, but the party he created would outlive him by four decades, but in that time it would almost completely escape his intent.
[8] – Chase set the course that the Union Party was to take for the rest of its existence, spoils politics, laissez-faire economics, and tight control of the nation's consciousness. Chase would remain a popular figure in the party's leadership until his death.
[9] – The so-called Second Era of Good Feelings was characterized by rampant robber barons ruling the economy with an iron fist, a falling power of the legislative branch, and intense corruption in the Federal government, including a runaway spoils system, blatant vote manitpulation, and otherwise shady deals best exibited by President Tweed.
[10] – The 1892 Presidential Election has been forever looked back upon by historians and psephologists alike as the great harbinger for Things To Come. The Populist Labor Party of Henry Teller won a majority of the popular vote, but through mass bribery, the National Unionists managed to gridlock the college. Henry Teller then died a week before the House contingent election under suspicious circumstances, and Custer waltzed to a comfortable election.
[11] – Cannon led a Presidential campaign of a coalition of the various left-wing parties that had emerged over the past half-century, and led this coalition to a [bare] majority of the electoral votes, only being put over the edge by a faithless elector from Maryland. However Cannon was overthrown in a coup by General James Pershing and his Patriot League, and was killed in the struggle.
[12] – Pershing's coup led to a second Civil War, pitting Victor Chaney's Coalition for Freedom, and August Simmons' Second Southron Republic against Pershing and his Patriotic Council. The war came to an end four years later with Pershing killed by a partisan sniper in Chicago, which laid the foundation for the American Interconstitutional Era, as well as the secession of Chaney's Western Republic, and Simmons' SSR.
[2] – James Buchanan was elected mostly on the unpopularity of John Tyler, who while stating he was in favor of Texan annexation was painted by Buchanan as being for it solely for political gain. He passed the Texan annexation bill with minimal riding bills, to which the Mexican government responded by moving troops to what they considered the border, the Pecos River.

Indeed. I was inspired in small part by Veej's Gerry Adams vignette, tho the *SNP's rise here is drawn out and not based on major reforms to the unwritten constitution.

I need to rewrite the 'post' Basic Law leaders.
[1] President Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected in the height of America's worst economic depression in 1933. His first term was spent investing significant effort in revitalizing the economy, and moving America away from the isolationism that was causing damage to her international standing in the face of the growing spectres of fascism. His second term was spent in much the same way, before the alien invasions began. the Invasion Fleet landed on Earth and invaded through portals and drop-ships, ranging everywhere from Roswell, New Mexico, to Berlin, to Beijing, the Seoul, so on and so forth. Social order in the United States collapsed, and President Roosevelt mobilized for a national emergency. In 1939, after Vice President John N. Garner was killed while in Texas, FDR piloted the 'Coalition for American Freedom', inviting Senate Republican leader Charles L. McNary to take office as Vice President, effective immediately. Overstepping Congress, FDR passed an Executive Order enabling him to do so. As a result, the 1940 election went on but was largely 'rubber-stamp' as FDR was re-elected unopposed.
[2] FDR's 3rd term as President was spent fighting the invasion, as the aliens advanced deep into American territory. In 1940, numerous caches of alien weaponry were captured, and the United States began to co-opt their technology for themselves. Franklin Roosevelt benefitted from some of the civilian technology gained from the alien crashes, namely, the nano-molecular constructors. FDR's health hit new heights, and he began to walk again, which rallied public morale. The President began to push for rapid armament, and signed the Concordat in July 1940, aligning the United States with that of Hitler's Third Reich, Imperial Japan, Fascist Italy, Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union. The first American 'hovership' rolled off the line in 1942, named the H-42 'Cactus Jack'.
[3] After the death of Vice President McNary in 1944, FDR returned to a single party, the Democratic Party, and nominated Harry S. Truman to the office of Vice President instead-- the Missouri politician was naive in many ways, but was a contributive effort to FDR's White House. During this term, the United States unlocked the secrets of the atomic bomb, and used it numerous times against alien invaders in the Mexican plateaus and in Africa. In 1947, America's first orbital spaceship, the USS John Nance Garner, was rolled off the line, showing how quickly technological innovation was moving against the alien threat. In 1948, President Roosevelt declared a 'global crusade against the alien menace', and was joined with Adolf Hitler, whom angrily stated that 'the time was now to wipe the sub-species off the face of the Earth'. The 1948 election saw a divided Democratic field, with the Southerners and anti-Roosevelt candidates fighting for their own votes. FDR succeeded in winning, but used this to pivot into a new political party to unite the liberals of the Republicans and Democrats.
[4] FDR's 5th and 6th terms were spent focusing entirely on the war against the alien species. During the 1950s, America and her allies set the alien invaders back by several exponential ways; leading up to the establishment of the Galactic Senate, and the launch of several 'faster than light' ships, including the USS Valour, KMS Horst Wessel, HMS Balfour, and the Niigata. During this period, the United States and her allies pushed the aliens back on all fronts, taking hundreds of planets across the galaxy, with Mars serving as the 'toughest nut to crack'. As well, during this period, several million peoples of varying ethnicity were deported from nations across the globe to far-off planetary conquests--Mexicans, Indigenous peoples, Sorbs, Bosniaks, Slovenes, Slovaks, Ukrainians, et al.--the United States definitely participated in this, giving several white supremacists passage to a new planet of their own (Confederate States) or creating black republics in the stars. FDR did not run again in 1960, deciding that with the war going so well, he could afford to retire.
[5] Henry Cabot Lodge was a one-term President by choice, rather than by popular acclaim. He did not desire to run for President on his own volition except in 1960, where he went up against Lyndon B. Johnson and Stanley Parish, both conservative Dem-Reps whom were opposed to keeping the Concordat together. They were defeated, but the Democratic-Republicans would be back in 1964, they were certain. During this period, the Race was exterminated after the homeworld was razed to ash by the SS-Galaktischen Sturmtruppen (SS-GS) which killed millions of Race citizens in a reprisal for the slaughter of entire cities of German citizens by their invading armies. The remaining fleets of the Race, and colonies, were soon wiped out by the Luftwaffe's dozen plus 'Stardestroyer' ships.
During this period, the United States Constitution was ratified to block Presidents from serving more than two consecutive terms.
[6] Margaret Chase Smith was a well-liked woman. She was sharp as a tack, and took no nonsense. During her administration, the United States admitted millions upon millions of square miles of territory to the United States, after it became painfully obvious that none of the nations of the American hemisphere would be able to survive in the new, space-faring age. By the time of her assassination by Brazilian nationalists in 1967, the United States had expanded her Terran territory from the arctic poles of Canada, to the tip of Patagonia--and with it, the political scene was becoming incredibly chaotic. Luis H. Alvarez, a Mexican political leader, succeeded her after she was shot and killed by a Brazilian nationalist in 1967.
[7] Under President Alvarez, the Democratic-Republican Party changed it's name to 'Unionist' to invoke a more unified and less 'oxymoronic' name, as well as to extend inclusiveness to the many many conservatives south of the equator. 1968 was a chaotic election, with Alvarez challenged not only by the Wilson/Terry ticket for the Liberals, but also socialist revolutionaries Che Guevara and Fidel Castro; and militant anti-democratic figures such as Governor Peron and Senator Silva. Alvarez managed to emerge victorious, after presiding over the 'victory' of the war against the xenos. The war boom began to end, as Alvarez took his second term of office--it became obvious that he wouldn't win another.
During his presidency, the SCOTUS handed down the controversial Johnson v. Kwa'lun ruling which stated that the 13th Amendment did not apply to non-citizen extraterrestrial non-humanoids. This was controversial as it meant the legalization of alien slavery, which caused riots by African-Americans and others for weeks after the ruling. No amendment was ever proposed to 'amend' the 13th Amendment to fix this error.
[8] The Presidency of Ronald Reagan was an interesting one. After coming to power in the 1972 election, the United States moved to enact a more 'globalist' trend of elections, doing away with the electoral college by 1977; his presidency was focused on reform and modernization. As such, he attracted a number of splintering parties from both him and his Vice President's agenda. In 1976, he faced not only progressive opposition to Nixon, but also Chasite ideological schism from within the Unionists. His Presidency came to an end in 1979 after the Casseopeia Affair, the death of Vice President Nixon, and the subsequent 'vote of no confidence'.
[9] The ministry of Jacqueline Bouvier was a remarkable turn around from the 'interesting times' of the Reagan presidency. Jacqueline Bouvier expressed little interest in social and political reform, instead focusing on expanding the role of the welfare state in providing for the several hundred million Americans from pole to pole, and from star to star. Military and space funding were increased, and the government was very liberal in the amount of money it tossed into new age corporate consortiums intend on resource exploitation and xenoslavery in the far-off systems. She also provided significant military funding to the Free Systems in exchange for a number of trade concessions. Under her watchful eye, the Trans-Sol Warpway was constructed using light-travel nodes, and with the help of the Ford-Opel Company, managed to get 'spacecraft for the common man' as a goal for the late 20th century. Ford-Opel became the leader in American engineering where it came to civilian space-craft, only rivaled by the Honda Corporation after it's acquisition by American investors in 1983.
In 1984, President Bouvier signed into law the Haines-Wagner Act of 1984, which renewed the mandate for the National Recovery Administration another 25 years. The NRA had been a major piece of Franklin Roosevelt's administration, and by 1984, it was integrated into the American mindset as an absolute necessity for capitalism to prosper. Under the auspices of the NRA, competition and price of living had been maintained at a healthy level, with inflation and wages rising at an equal pace. There were now dozens of companies competing for market share in almost every factor, with foreign companies winning great amounts of market share as well. While domestic companies such as Ford-Opel, Chrysler, Dodge, Honda, Studebaker, Kaiser-Frasier Motors, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Packard were doing well, selling millions in cars and lightcraft every year; foreign companies such as Nissan, Mercedes, Volkswagen, BMW, Ferrari, McLaren, Jaguar, Yugo and Lada were doing well too--the cars from fascist regimes often had a hefty import fee, but were popular enough to appear in many magazines through out the 1980s. Byelorussian-made Ladas and Yugoslavian Yugos were popular for their 'cheap construction', and 'reliability', with many American engineers assisting their communist friends in building the vehicles.
In the way of telecommunications, Bouvier's SCOTUS utilized the NRA and the Haines-Wagner Act to finally divest the Bell monopoly. Bell had been an important asset to the war, picking up many companies such as Motorola, IBM and General Electric in the process, their overmassed power lead to a crusade on Bouvier's part against them. AT&T's breakup in 1984 was a major blow to Bell, which never recovered. The remembrance of AT&T's importance in jumpstarting the information age is often forgotten, as many of the companies that AT&T absorbed, got their patents back. Motorola was restored, and became America's #1 producer of shortwave, lightwave and transgalactic radios-- IBM became remembered for leading the way in server infrastructure, partnering with Japanese consortium NSX, American companies Advanced Micron Devices, Intelligent Architecture, Microware, and Phazer to bring a new age of personal computers to the home, something that had never been done before the 1980s.
Despite her soaring popularity in the late years of her term of office, she decided not to pursue a 2nd term of office in 1984, citing that she wished to go home and enjoy the remainder of her life without the stress of Washington politics.
[10] President Mulroney transitioned the United States of America to the Basic Law system in the early 1990s, thus making the office of 'President of the United States' quite irrelevant; but primarily a 'serene executive' office. He served as Provisional President of the United States before the 1993 federal elections that saw the election of both the President, and the new Chancellor. His Vice President, Amanda Mitsuyama, became the Provisional Chancellor. During this three year transition period, there were several mountains to overcome, as some states objected to the new Constitution, and felt that the fact that the Convention did not unanimously ratify it, it should be redrawn once more. However, despite concerns, efforts were put into place to ensure the Basic Law effectually revolutionized the peaceful and prosperous United States.

[2] FDR's 3rd term as President was spent fighting the invasion, as the aliens advanced deep into American territory. In 1940, numerous caches of alien weaponry were captured, and the United States began to co-opt their technology for themselves. Franklin Roosevelt benefitted from some of the civilian technology gained from the alien crashes, namely, the nano-molecular constructors. FDR's health hit new heights, and he began to walk again, which rallied public morale. The President began to push for rapid armament, and signed the Concordat in July 1940, aligning the United States with that of Hitler's Third Reich, Imperial Japan, Fascist Italy, Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union. The first American 'hovership' rolled off the line in 1942, named the H-42 'Cactus Jack'.
[3] After the death of Vice President McNary in 1944, FDR returned to a single party, the Democratic Party, and nominated Harry S. Truman to the office of Vice President instead-- the Missouri politician was naive in many ways, but was a contributive effort to FDR's White House. During this term, the United States unlocked the secrets of the atomic bomb, and used it numerous times against alien invaders in the Mexican plateaus and in Africa. In 1947, America's first orbital spaceship, the USS John Nance Garner, was rolled off the line, showing how quickly technological innovation was moving against the alien threat. In 1948, President Roosevelt declared a 'global crusade against the alien menace', and was joined with Adolf Hitler, whom angrily stated that 'the time was now to wipe the sub-species off the face of the Earth'. The 1948 election saw a divided Democratic field, with the Southerners and anti-Roosevelt candidates fighting for their own votes. FDR succeeded in winning, but used this to pivot into a new political party to unite the liberals of the Republicans and Democrats.
[4] FDR's 5th and 6th terms were spent focusing entirely on the war against the alien species. During the 1950s, America and her allies set the alien invaders back by several exponential ways; leading up to the establishment of the Galactic Senate, and the launch of several 'faster than light' ships, including the USS Valour, KMS Horst Wessel, HMS Balfour, and the Niigata. During this period, the United States and her allies pushed the aliens back on all fronts, taking hundreds of planets across the galaxy, with Mars serving as the 'toughest nut to crack'. As well, during this period, several million peoples of varying ethnicity were deported from nations across the globe to far-off planetary conquests--Mexicans, Indigenous peoples, Sorbs, Bosniaks, Slovenes, Slovaks, Ukrainians, et al.--the United States definitely participated in this, giving several white supremacists passage to a new planet of their own (Confederate States) or creating black republics in the stars. FDR did not run again in 1960, deciding that with the war going so well, he could afford to retire.
[5] Henry Cabot Lodge was a one-term President by choice, rather than by popular acclaim. He did not desire to run for President on his own volition except in 1960, where he went up against Lyndon B. Johnson and Stanley Parish, both conservative Dem-Reps whom were opposed to keeping the Concordat together. They were defeated, but the Democratic-Republicans would be back in 1964, they were certain. During this period, the Race was exterminated after the homeworld was razed to ash by the SS-Galaktischen Sturmtruppen (SS-GS) which killed millions of Race citizens in a reprisal for the slaughter of entire cities of German citizens by their invading armies. The remaining fleets of the Race, and colonies, were soon wiped out by the Luftwaffe's dozen plus 'Stardestroyer' ships.
During this period, the United States Constitution was ratified to block Presidents from serving more than two consecutive terms.
[6] Margaret Chase Smith was a well-liked woman. She was sharp as a tack, and took no nonsense. During her administration, the United States admitted millions upon millions of square miles of territory to the United States, after it became painfully obvious that none of the nations of the American hemisphere would be able to survive in the new, space-faring age. By the time of her assassination by Brazilian nationalists in 1967, the United States had expanded her Terran territory from the arctic poles of Canada, to the tip of Patagonia--and with it, the political scene was becoming incredibly chaotic. Luis H. Alvarez, a Mexican political leader, succeeded her after she was shot and killed by a Brazilian nationalist in 1967.
[7] Under President Alvarez, the Democratic-Republican Party changed it's name to 'Unionist' to invoke a more unified and less 'oxymoronic' name, as well as to extend inclusiveness to the many many conservatives south of the equator. 1968 was a chaotic election, with Alvarez challenged not only by the Wilson/Terry ticket for the Liberals, but also socialist revolutionaries Che Guevara and Fidel Castro; and militant anti-democratic figures such as Governor Peron and Senator Silva. Alvarez managed to emerge victorious, after presiding over the 'victory' of the war against the xenos. The war boom began to end, as Alvarez took his second term of office--it became obvious that he wouldn't win another.
During his presidency, the SCOTUS handed down the controversial Johnson v. Kwa'lun ruling which stated that the 13th Amendment did not apply to non-citizen extraterrestrial non-humanoids. This was controversial as it meant the legalization of alien slavery, which caused riots by African-Americans and others for weeks after the ruling. No amendment was ever proposed to 'amend' the 13th Amendment to fix this error.
[8] The Presidency of Ronald Reagan was an interesting one. After coming to power in the 1972 election, the United States moved to enact a more 'globalist' trend of elections, doing away with the electoral college by 1977; his presidency was focused on reform and modernization. As such, he attracted a number of splintering parties from both him and his Vice President's agenda. In 1976, he faced not only progressive opposition to Nixon, but also Chasite ideological schism from within the Unionists. His Presidency came to an end in 1979 after the Casseopeia Affair, the death of Vice President Nixon, and the subsequent 'vote of no confidence'.
[9] The ministry of Jacqueline Bouvier was a remarkable turn around from the 'interesting times' of the Reagan presidency. Jacqueline Bouvier expressed little interest in social and political reform, instead focusing on expanding the role of the welfare state in providing for the several hundred million Americans from pole to pole, and from star to star. Military and space funding were increased, and the government was very liberal in the amount of money it tossed into new age corporate consortiums intend on resource exploitation and xenoslavery in the far-off systems. She also provided significant military funding to the Free Systems in exchange for a number of trade concessions. Under her watchful eye, the Trans-Sol Warpway was constructed using light-travel nodes, and with the help of the Ford-Opel Company, managed to get 'spacecraft for the common man' as a goal for the late 20th century. Ford-Opel became the leader in American engineering where it came to civilian space-craft, only rivaled by the Honda Corporation after it's acquisition by American investors in 1983.
In 1984, President Bouvier signed into law the Haines-Wagner Act of 1984, which renewed the mandate for the National Recovery Administration another 25 years. The NRA had been a major piece of Franklin Roosevelt's administration, and by 1984, it was integrated into the American mindset as an absolute necessity for capitalism to prosper. Under the auspices of the NRA, competition and price of living had been maintained at a healthy level, with inflation and wages rising at an equal pace. There were now dozens of companies competing for market share in almost every factor, with foreign companies winning great amounts of market share as well. While domestic companies such as Ford-Opel, Chrysler, Dodge, Honda, Studebaker, Kaiser-Frasier Motors, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Packard were doing well, selling millions in cars and lightcraft every year; foreign companies such as Nissan, Mercedes, Volkswagen, BMW, Ferrari, McLaren, Jaguar, Yugo and Lada were doing well too--the cars from fascist regimes often had a hefty import fee, but were popular enough to appear in many magazines through out the 1980s. Byelorussian-made Ladas and Yugoslavian Yugos were popular for their 'cheap construction', and 'reliability', with many American engineers assisting their communist friends in building the vehicles.
In the way of telecommunications, Bouvier's SCOTUS utilized the NRA and the Haines-Wagner Act to finally divest the Bell monopoly. Bell had been an important asset to the war, picking up many companies such as Motorola, IBM and General Electric in the process, their overmassed power lead to a crusade on Bouvier's part against them. AT&T's breakup in 1984 was a major blow to Bell, which never recovered. The remembrance of AT&T's importance in jumpstarting the information age is often forgotten, as many of the companies that AT&T absorbed, got their patents back. Motorola was restored, and became America's #1 producer of shortwave, lightwave and transgalactic radios-- IBM became remembered for leading the way in server infrastructure, partnering with Japanese consortium NSX, American companies Advanced Micron Devices, Intelligent Architecture, Microware, and Phazer to bring a new age of personal computers to the home, something that had never been done before the 1980s.
Despite her soaring popularity in the late years of her term of office, she decided not to pursue a 2nd term of office in 1984, citing that she wished to go home and enjoy the remainder of her life without the stress of Washington politics.
[10] President Mulroney transitioned the United States of America to the Basic Law system in the early 1990s, thus making the office of 'President of the United States' quite irrelevant; but primarily a 'serene executive' office. He served as Provisional President of the United States before the 1993 federal elections that saw the election of both the President, and the new Chancellor. His Vice President, Amanda Mitsuyama, became the Provisional Chancellor. During this three year transition period, there were several mountains to overcome, as some states objected to the new Constitution, and felt that the fact that the Convention did not unanimously ratify it, it should be redrawn once more. However, despite concerns, efforts were put into place to ensure the Basic Law effectually revolutionized the peaceful and prosperous United States.

I tried to think of a scenario where 'Fritz' and John B. Anderson run on a ticket to stop Reagan. Since it would be to unrealistic i chose a far worse candidate, Evan Mecham. Mechams term is basically Reagans term on steroids, with a Iran war and all that. Walter Mondale and John Anderson and his National Union Party, which made some gains in the 1982 midterms, join together to stop Mecham.
Mondales term is a succesful one. Ending the Iran war and winning back the peoples support after the disastourous Mecham years. While many expected him to drop Anderson of the ticket in 1988 he decided not to. With the Republicans nominating arch-conservative Phill Crane and Alexander Haig, who called for the end of detente. Mondales road to a second term looked relatively easy and only became easier when Cranes alcohol problems leaked. The biggest suprise however was Ron Paul winning Alaska.
Mondales second term was more problematic. With a Republican party in congress that shifted further to the right and the Soviet Union barely avoiding civil war and instead collapsing. The biggest issue however was Alaska calling for independence after Andre Marrou became the governor.
It wasn't really a question who would become the Democratic nominee. Secretary of Space John Glenn was leading in all polls and won all primaries. While a ticket with House minority leader Newt Gingrich was explored. They couldn't agree on anything expect space exploration. Glenn chose Mabus, face of the new Mississippi, instead. The Republicans nominated controversial California senator Bob Dornan and Ted Turner won several states on the National Union ticket, despite VP Anderson endorsing John Glenn. However again the biggest suprise again came from Alaska going 41% for it's governor who was calling for a indepenent Alaska.
More to come later...

There was also one in Iceland (albeit it began as a joke party).
