-Ron Dellums (1984)

That's a good choice.

 

[The Congressman]

That's a good choice.

Yep, really helps Dellums in New England. However, it's likely Buckley sweeps the South

"We had a clear majority of delegates going into the Convention in Seattle--once you walked into the Coliseum, you'd only find our supporters--and so we hoped to really put the Amendments [on the Party platform] that we believed in."

-Donna Brazile (2004)

"I think that we, as progressives, must support progressive causes without apology. But I do believe that we, as progressives, must realize the concerns of the electorate, our allies, our armed forces when we advocate for... for removing all nuclear arms from Europe, and cutting defense spending by a quarter, I think that's just not feasible in the current state of international affairs, and we cannot simply ignore that when we go to the American people!"

-Martha Collins (1984)

"The keynote speaker was Governor Bob Graham--he was a more moderate progressive. Then came the speech."

-Tom Brokaw (2003)

"The American people--who have toiled and worked as hard as any other--have a right to demand that they can afford medical treatment! The American people have a right to demand that their families be fed! The American people have a right to demand that their children have an education! The American people have a right to demand that they not live in fear of nuclear war on a daily basis! The American people have a right to demand that their sons not die on the fields of a foreign country in an unnecessary war! And the American people will demand for these rights this November!"

-Ron Dellums (1984)

what third party candidates are there

 

[Israel]

what third party candidates are there

David Koch, as the Libertarian nominee (though I am open to suggestions)

 

[The Congressman]

Current polling: 50% Buckley/Baker, 46% Dellums Garrahy, 4% Undecided

I doubt Dellums would win, simply because he's so far to the left. I peg the final results as 55% Buckley, 43% Dellums

 

[Israel]

What do you expect in this campaign?

 

[The Congressman]

I think the GOP will have a narrower win than in OTL 1984, but will do better overall in downballot races.

 

[Gentleman Biaggi]

What do you expect in this campaign?

Dellums ain't winning, but I want him to

"Buckley--who was once backed by Helms--broke with him over the E.R.A. Platform debate, the Brooke nomination, the crisis in South Africa. To Helms, Buckley was too willing to appease moderates."

-Lee Atwater (1987)

"Mr. President, what do you have to say about the Senate election in NortH Carolina?"

"I think that both Mr. Helms and Mr. Hunt are fine candidates."

-James Buckley (1984)

 

[Israel]

"President Buckley's policies have created millions of new jobs, defeated inflation, and has restored the security of our economy--Senator Dellums wants Americans to get rid of all that has been done under this Administration, and implement socialist policies. The choice is up to you--free enterprise and prosperity, or more regulations and despair. This November, vote for James Buckley--and the progress that we have made."

-James Buckley Campaign Ad (1984)

"We need new leadership--a sort of leader who is honest, compassionate, visionary, and who is willing to make the changes that need to be made. Senator Dellums does not serve any special interest group, he only serves the American people--and he can make America a better place for it's people. Vote for Ron Dellums--America's right."
