  1. AHC: President Karl Rove

    As somebody who knows a lot of operators and has played the game himself, I can say that operators do have quite a lot under the surface, but they never allow it to come up. It can be pretty off the wall-in the campaign I worked on this November, our manager was an anarchist, our consultant was...
  2. AHC: President Karl Rove

    He believed in himself. He believed in winning. He believed in getting paid. I think that he's vaguely on the right, but doesn't care much about the actual policies as long as he stops Democrats from winning elections. So he'd probably appoint a bunch of fellow hacks who would go in fifty...
  3. AHC: President Karl Rove

    As I said, I honestly don't know. Still, whatever horrors would be inflicted on the world to get him to the Oval Office(and whatever ones would occur at his hand) it would all be worth it to see him chew out the White House press pool just once.
  4. AHC: President Karl Rove

    It would be interesting to see a President who's a complete dick and doesn't try to hide it at all. I could see something like this happening if the country gets even more polarized than it is OTL, both candidates run dirty, sneering campaigns, and Rove wins by a hair. How to get to that point-...
  5. Margaret Thatcher use nuclear weapons on Argentina during Falklands War

    It's the Argentines who would have been incandesent if this happened. :p
  6. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes II

    Something I found in my 'Abandoned Projects' folder. I can't remember for the life of me when I made it or what it's about. I think it was for an AH I was working on where the Oregon Territory became an independent country.
  7. Icarus Rising

    On a more serious note, I think you made the right decision. (For a variety of reasons I'd rather not go into here, I just got caught up with this now.) Best of luck, and bring the blues to the 21st Century!
  8. What Would an American Fascist Dictator be Called?

    Were it not for its connotation as the head of a single US state, I'd be quite partial to 'Governor'. He who governs. 'Leader' wouldn't work quite right, Americans don't take that well to being 'led'. Being 'governed', on the other hand, well, that's just responsible...
  9. TLIAD: Flipping the Coin

    China is divided between a US-aligned South and a Soviet-aligned North. The two states are currently drifting from their parent powers, increasing their nuclear arsenals, and behaving erratically.
  10. TLIAW: Slippery When Wet

    It's that time of year again! As we settle down with deplored relations in the undying winter and get a visit from Santa Don! Bringing despair, loathing, and naked self-service to any holiday gathering!
  11. TLIAD: Flipping the Coin

    Thank you! I was wondering how to make ol' Browning Machine Gun win an election on his own, but that's not possible in a world with a New Deal and without 'Red Dawn' becoming real. At the same time, I wanted to explore what Goldwater could do with more than four years. And hey, sometimes people...
  12. TLIAD: Flipping the Coin

    Hubert Humphrey(Democratic), 37th President of the United States, 1969-1973 As he had served more than half of Nixon’s term, Goldwater was term-limited in 1968. As nuclear proliferation and news of the horrors of some US-backed regimes broke out, the popularity of Goldwater’s foreign policy...
  13. TLIAD: Flipping the Coin

    Sorry for the delays, I was caught in an ice storm due to a family emergency. To make matters worse, the past 35 years of American history that I had written were lost when my computer crashed(I had assumed they were intact). Here's all that I have. I'm going to be travelling until Tuesday...
  14. TLIAD: Flipping the Coin

    Welp, looks like I'm going on an unexpected trip. Yippie skippy. Humphrey and probably McGovern and Ford should be up late tonight, the rest, tomorrow.
  15. TLIAD: Flipping the Coin

    It's flavor text to set the world, but if more people find that it significantly impacts their enjoyment of the TL, I'll remove it. Weeery eeeenterestink... As you can see, mine's rather more broad than yours, I hadn't gotten that far into cabinet appointments. Let's just say either Stimson...
  16. TLIAD: Flipping the Coin

    I tried to leave these up to the imagination of the reader. Also, wouldn't be a TLIAD without some leaps in plausibility :). On Poland: It is implied that the total incapacitation(which at the time had no precedent in American law) of Roosevelt caused some chaos and slowed the Allied war...
  17. TLIAD: Flipping the Coin

    Barry Goldwater(Republican), 36th President of the United States, 1962-1969 Presidents don't just die. Guns are drawn and they're cut down by anarchists and Rebels. They ail after a long illness. Presidents, especially ones with such a bright future as Richard Nixon, don't simply fall off a...
  18. TLIAD: Flipping the Coin

    Might be a bit of a spoiler for you, but the outcomes are never in doubt. I said going into this(in another thread) that I'm doing the losers in order(with no repeats). In my own perverse way, I have preserved Nixon, with all of his positive qualities remembered and the negative aspects of...
