  1. House of Cards?

    President and Mrs. Kennedy arrive in San Antonio, Texas, November 21, 1963 As the President settled in for the night, he reflected on the reasons for his trip to Texas. He needed three things: to raise money for the 1964 campaign; to show the flag in a state that was in danger of slipping out...

  2. The New Yorkers

    The New Yorkers: A Timeline about the 1968 election Rocky still bore the wounds from the bitter race for the nomination in 1964, although he did feel vindicated at winning a third term as Governor of the Empire State in 1966. He did not want to go through another round with the...

  3. WI Rockefeller Went All Out in 1968?

  6. 2011 British Empire Election

    Not sure if this has been done before ... I have wondered if larger parts of the British Empire would have held together over time if it had been able to hold onto the American colonies, along with the other (mostly) Anglophone countries (Canada, Australia, New Zealand). Anyway, thought I'd...

  7. DBWI: What If Gore Had Not Run in 2004?

    Hard to imagine, as the Democratic nomination was his for the asking. After 2000 and his winning the popular vote but "losing" the election (maybe), Gore was a shoo-in for a second contest with "President" Bush, which of course he won. The selection of Hillary Clinton as VP was decisive, IMO...
