No Southern Strategy: The Political Ramifications of an Alternate 1964 Election

I'm sad to see this TL go. But it has had a good run, and I've thoroughly enjoyed it throughout.

So thanks for all the excellent content.
 
Sad to hear, but the fact that this TL ran as long as it did is kind of a miracle. No Southern Strategy set a high bar for election wikibox TLs, and will always hold a place in the AH community's heart.

Post-Script Update #1: List of Governors
While we were writing NSS, there was an activate attempt to keep a clear and concise list of things going on in the background. That way stuff could be alluded to without having much attention drawn to it, or us tripping over our own references. The list of Governors (and Lt. Governors, and even some Mayors) took up 18 pages in my notes. Yeah, it's a big one. From the start of the TL, to roughly where it ended. Alaska alone has further notes regarding to what happened, and I did intend to do the same for all Governors, but things changed (ie I got lazy) and after a few years of jotting down these notes (seriously, these date back to like 2016), some stuff is a little hazy even for me.

Anyways, enjoy.

Alaska notes

The first few decades of Alaska were dominated by two men, William Egan of the Democratic Party and Walter J. Hickel of the Republican Party. For the first thirty-one years of statehood, they occupied they occupied a combined twenty-seven years. Egan was nominated by the Alaska Democratic Party five times in a row: 1958, 1962, 1966, 1970, and 1974. He won three of those. Hickel was nominated by the Republican Party for three times, 1966, 1970, and in 1982. He also ran once as a write-in Republican in 1986 and once as an independent in 1990. Hickel won the office four times, serving the longest tenure in the office.

Egan and Hickel faced off in the state's third, fourth, and fifth gubernatorial elections, Egan lost against Hickel in 1966 and 1970, but after Hickel retired in 1974, due to term limits, he was succeeded by Egan. Some expected Hickel to join President MacBride's Cabinet as the Interior Secretary after he was inaugurated in 1977, but no appointment or offer was ever made. Instead Hickel returned as the Republican candidate for Governor in 1978 and he beat Egan a third time.

At this point Egan was noticeably older and sicker: less responsive then he used to be. Still he was a powerful force in the Alaskan political scene and almost got a sixth nomination for Governor. Instead he was beaten by insurgent candidate Stephen Alpine in the Democratic Primary. Alpine, who was helped by prominent Democrats like Senator Nick Begich and State Treasurer Tony Knowles, narrowly beat Egan in the primary. Despite a Republican in the White House, and midterms generally being favorable to the party out of it, Alpine was handily beaten by Hickel in the 1978 Governors election.

After 1981, when the National Conservative Party came into existence and prominence, Hickel's position started to be rocked. The state NCP never had much of a presence as a standalone party, competing with the Alaskan Independence Party for the position of Alaska's right-wing third party, but did manage to form a symbiotic relationship with many Republicans in the state. NCP higher-ups often lent their support to Republican candidates in their primaries and did not run their own people in the general elections.

In this way they beat Hickel in the 1982 primary, who was seen as far too economically statist and liberal on environmental issues by conservative voters. The influx of NCP voters gave his Lieutenant Governor, Howard W. Pollack, the nomination by a few hundred votes. Hickel tried his hand at a write-in campaign, but with little time and money to campaign on his own, and spending the election season working on a tax bill with the legislature, he came in third with 17% of the vote. An impressive amount considering his many difficulties.

I'm not going to lie...I've occasionally gotten lost reading through the thread here. That said, I love reading these appendixes and the detailed data and just...well, taking a casual walk through the world you've made like I would've done growing up and looking through almanacs and encyclopedias.
 
Post-Script Update #2: United States Senators elected (1968 to 1992)
Surprise, it's me again. Someone sent me a message asking for a list of all Senators in the TL, and I figured this was as good a time as any to just post my notes about it.

I should warn you, however, since NSS took an ungodly amount of time, I wrote up each year as the story was being written. This means that the formatting is not consistent. It should be noted my note-taking skills are kind of shit, so beware any possible continuity errors in it. Also, because of how I wrote it, some parts, especially near the end, are just unfinished.

Still, I hope you enjoy.
