The Spirit of '76: The Fall and Rise of Robert Kennedy

I dunno. Even in alternate history, Hart still manages to Self-Immolate himself. Don't believe me, read the AH Book "Then Everything Changed", the third section to be specific, and you'll see what I mean.

Ahh yes, Jeff Greenfield's most recent novel. I'm a big fan, though it's important to remember his audience: mainstream history readers. He is a very gifted author, though his primary objective seems to be taking real-life events and making them fit in alternate Presidencies (RFK's Watergate). Good job, fun book, and definitely a worthwhile read. But it's not really Alternate History so much as it's a novel.

P.S.: My signature is a quote from that book.

A very interesting signature. In my opinion, alternate history is unpredictable. You can only theorize what may happen, but you can not assume that these things will actually happen. There are so many complex variables involved. But, since there is a strong probability of the Many Worlds theory being true. And in some of those worlds, the theories that we are discussing now, in addition to many other theories and scenarios, in addition to their outcomes, are happening.
 
Hcallega, after Camelot Forever is all finished, will u have the time to write a Part 2 to Chapter VI of The Spirit of 76? On a lesser note, will you also reconsider writing a summary post for Change We Can Believe In? I'm almost done with 8 PM, but I need some help with ideas for Illinois. I'll post it soon on Election Atlas Forums, with you getting a sneak peak to see what you think.
 
I also read Greenfield's and then everything changed, my favourite line: Ronald Reagan on Bobby's Inaugural (?) "That sonofabitch! He stole my line!"
Lyn Nofigzer (sp) "Not anymore, it isn't":D
 
Interesting that Bobby's re-election map looks like a modern day election 30 years early. Same with '76 minus California, though that makes sense given Reagan was Governor.
