    WI: No FDR in 1932?

    Let's say that, for whatever reason, FDR doesn't run for the democratic nomination in 1932. Maybe he dies in an accident years prior, maybe he just decides not to run, or maybe it's something else. The important thing here is that FDR is not available for the democrats to nominate in 1932. In...

    Longest slavery could have survived in America?

    What is realistically the latest period that slavery could have survived in the U.S.? There are a few potential POD's to consider: For one, what if the fewer compromises are made in the decades leading up to the OTL civil war and slavery has an easier expansion into the territories? Second...

    WI: Eisenhower runs as a democrat

    What if Dwight D. Eisenhower, for whatever reason, had not joined the GOP and instead ran as a democrat in the 1952 election? What are the long-term consequences of this decision? Does Ike win just as he did OTL? Who does he pick as his running mate? Who does the GOP nominate? What becomes of...

    WI: George W. Bush Assassinated in 2003

    What if Bush had been assassinated in late 2003 by an anti-war radical? Obviously Cheney becomes POTUS, but what changes in the long run? Does the GOP nominate Cheney in '04? If so, does he pull an LBJ and ride the sympathy vote to victory? Do the dems still nominate John Kerry? Who wins the...

    1980: Bush defeats Reagan for GOP nomination

    What are the long-term effects if Bush somehow manages to win the nomination in '80? Does the country shift as far to the right as it did under Reagan or does Bush lead a more moderate republican revolution? Do the democrats shift to the center as they did under Clinton without Reagan? Does...

    Alternate U.S. Electoral History (1976-2012)

    1976: AS WATERGATE LINGERS, KENNEDY BRINGS NEW HOPE The aftermath of the Watergate scandal lingered heavily over the election of 1976. President Gerald Ford had done as good a job as anyone could have reasonably expected of him given the circumstances he was thrust into, having never even been...

    Political TL Photoshop Files (Download Link)

    I wasn't sure where to post this, so if it's in the wrong spot, please move it. I've been asked by several different people for these files and recently was told it'd be a big help to some of you if I posted them for everyone to have access to, so I'm doing just that. I've used these graphics...

    Cast the American Presidents

    Just an idea I came up with to get some discussion going. Let's say HBO decided to do a massive mini-series on the history of the U.S. Presidency featuring every single POTUS from Washington to Obama. Who do you think would make good choices to be cast as each of the Presidents? It may seem...

    Earliest Period for a Black POTUS?

    Basically, what is the earliest you can imagine a black man becoming President of the United States? I recall a TL here once that had a black man becoming POTUS after being V.P. and the President being assassinated as early as the 1880's or so, which I thought was very interesting and...

    The West Wing: 2010 & Beyond

    I'm posting this here because I see there's already a WW thread and I'm guessing that means this is the correct forum. If it's not, please feel free to move this elsewhere. Basically, I'm going to do what I did with my Decision: America timeline and follow the 2010 election as President Santos...

    Best Alternate History Movies/TV Shows/Books?

    What are some of the better alternate history movies/shows/books out there? I only know of a few myself but have been looking for more lately. The two moves I have seen that stick out the most are: CSA (Confederate States of America): Mockumentary based on an alternate history in which the...
