    The reactions following the release of the Republican Gallup Poll


    "Bob Dole is behind Quayle? Robert Joseph Dole, bastion of the Senate, ideal Republican, is behind Bush AND Quayle? Bob Dole will not let this stand, he will work night and day, Bob Dole --"

    "Bob, stop talking to yourself!"

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "I'm starting to seriously believe that the Democrats could run a literal ass against whichever Republican survives the primary and the poor donkey would be getting called Mr. President in November."

    "Patricia, we do have an ass in the race. But at least call Iaccoca by his name."

    "Grow up, Gary."

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "FOUR POINTS!"

    "Yes sir"

    "FOUR POINTS SEPERATES ME, THE MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE EVER AND SOME HICK PUPPET?!?"

    "One could argue that-"

    "SHUT UP HARRISON, NO ONE WANTS YOUR GODDAMNED HISTORY HERE!"

    ...

    "Oh god, what am I gonna do?"

    "You could make up with senat-"

    "No"

    ...

    "I need someone big's endorsement. Get someone, anyone!"

    "Like who?"

    "I don't know, Mitchel?"

    "Fine, sir."

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Mr, Quayle! You're only down four points in this poll!"

    "Shucks, I'm just glad for all the kind people out there who are voting for me. Who knew me, Dan Quayle, a regular guy, could have a chance to take down George H.W. Bush, one of----"

    "Mr. Quayle, you can drop the country boy act. You're among friends."

    "What act? This is just how I am."

    "Yeah, and Falwell is the holiest man in all the land. Sure."

    "What was that?"

    "Nothing, Mr. Quayle!"​

    “Lee Iacocca is the perfect candidate for this race!”

    “You all can agree that Iacocca is the one to bring change to this party”

    “To end the Leftism that has lost us election after election”

    “To stop us from being perennial losers!”

    “Iacocca promises a better future”

    “He promises us a new era”

    “Why? Because he has heart!”

    -Endorsement speech given by Mario Biaggi


    “Have I lost ground in the polls since Biaggi’s endorsement?”

    “No sir, while Biaggi’s corruption scares some-”

    “Bastard should’ve never endorsed me”

    “-your anti-establishment image helps in this time of recession, you’ve gained ground.”

    “Good, then will bag that tool Hart and that radical Jackson in the primaries and sweep Quayle or Bush in the general”

    A little bit of a supplemental update tonight with a couple of pictures we thought you’d enjoy!

    David Ruffin shows off his flashy new suit as Eddie Kendricks watches during an interview with a local news station in England at the beginning of their tour. Kendricks and a noticeably sober Ruffin spoke of a possible album, unsure of whether it would be new material or re-recordings of their hits from the 1960'sand 1970's.

    The pair during a performance in the late months of 1987. Performing their old classics in concert, the two, along with Dennis Edwards, played more intimate shows, reminiscent to their early days. The duo were met with much fanfare at the early shows, especially in Leeds. The group was left with a standing ovation after a resounding performance of a medley of hits, with Ruffin on lead for "My Girl", Kendricks on "Just My Imagination" and Dennis Edwards on "Cloud Nine".​

    The original ending of this timeline, scrapped due to negative crowd reaction, was a Ruffin/Cobain in ‘88 ticket that got all of America on drugs and subsequently cleaned them up.

    "Today, the Democratic and Republican parties are crushing individual liberty"


    "Demogauges like Iacocca say they like liberty — the words of hypocrites who want to take away our freedom.


    "Radicals like Quayle want to take individual liberties from everyone. There will be no discrimination when we all lose our natural born rights."


    "We need a third option,"


    "One, to save liberty"


    "I am that choice to save us from government control"


    "It is time to end that control"
