  1. Fall Grun to Fall Gelb?

    This topic has certainly been discussed before (by myself included) but I've taken a recent interest in both World Wars considering the hundred year anniversary of the "beginning of the 20th century." Specifically, my question is one of plausibility. The POD is no Munich Agreement. This can be...

  2. AHC: Obama as the progressive Reagan

    I was reading an article in POLITICO Magazine recently about how progressives are still looking for their "Reagan," that is to say a transformational President who fundamentally alters the political landscape for a generation. In this sense it appears the article is using the legendary...

  3. AHC/WI?: The DLC Remains In Business?

    The Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) was founded in the mid-1980s in an effort to push the Democratic Party back towards the center following the disastrous 1984 Presidential election. For over two decades, the DLC served as the principle centrist-Democratic organization. They pushed for...

  4. AHC/WI?: "Hillarycare" Passes

    Lately I've been reading a great deal about the health care reform battles of the early '90s in comparison to the passage of the Affordable Care Act. I'm interested to see what you all think about how to get a health care reform bill turned into law in '93/'94. While the title says...

  5. WI: Hillel Slovak doesn't overdose

    As a huge fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and rock music in general, I'm interested in what you guys think the impact would be if Hillel Slovak didn't overdose on heroin. The obvious implication is that he would remain RHCP's lead guitarist, and that John Frusciante, Dave Navarro, Josh...

  6. The Presidency of John F. Kennedy

    Dallas Crack…crack “Go, go, go! Drive!” The Lincoln SS-100-X raced down Elm Street and towards the highway. Secret Service Agent Roy Kellerman shouted over the radio that the presidential limousine was going to Parkland Hospital, and that they needed a stretcher and a room prepped for...

  7. What if Paul Martin won in '06?

    I've been reading a lot about Canadian politics and government recently, with a particular focus on the past several decades. One particular turning point that keeps coming up in the 2006 federal election. For those unfamiliar, this race pitted Liberal PM Paul Martin against Conservative leader...

  8. Madam President 2.0

    Hello everyone. Several days ago, I announced the end of my timeline, "Decision Points." That project took many months and was incredibly fun to work on. It was particularly great to see the positive feedback. But all timelines must come to an end, even those we love dearly. For my next project...

  9. 1980 Election After Ford Presidency

    This is a scenario we've discussed a few times on this forum, but it's never been the explicit focus. It's an interesting question and a very open-ended one, so I look forward to hearing your different opinions on the matter. What-if Gerald Ford defeated Jimmy Cater for reelection in 1976...

  10. What if?: No Tuck Rule

    Yesterday the NFL officially eliminated the infamous "tuck rule." Infamous for its role in helping decide the 2002 AFC Divisional Playoff Game between the New England Patriots and Oakland Raiders, the tuck rule has achieved somewhat mythical status. That call, and that game, have had significant...

  11. "Monica Changed Everything"

    I've recently been perusing Stevin Gillon's interesting book, The Pact. It's about the relationship between President Bill Clinton and Speaker Newt Gingrich. The second half of the book focuses largely on the possibility of significant Social Security and Medicare reform in 1998 and 1999...

  12. Decision Points: The Presidency of Al Gore

    The 2000 presidential election and ensuing recount are among the most controversial events of the 2000s. Recounts, legal battles, and public protests followed one of the closest elections in American history. The Supreme Court's ruling that ended the Florida recount left many Americans feeling...

  13. Al Gore's Cabinet

    Hey guys. Im writing a timeline about an Al Gore presidency and could use some assistance. I have a decent outline of his first term and international events. But I need help picking the Presidents cabinet. So I turn to you, my future readers, for advice. Right now I have a few positions filled...

  14. research for al gore in 2000 timeline

    As of now, i plan on making my next timeline centered around an al gore presidency. I tried this once before with a weak result. Because of that ill fated venture, i plan on doing some substantial research. Id love to have any suggestions on what resources are out there. Id also like to hear...

  15. Writers Block: What Timeline Would Like to See?

    As the title says, I've been having a bad case of writer's block recently. I know many of you would like to see my continue/wrap up my recent timelines. Right now I'm just not feeling it. The idea for an alternate Clinton Presidency was promising, but for whatever reason it just hasn't stuck...

  16. Mandate for Change

    Premise: Bill Clinton entered the White House in 1992 surrounded by an aura of excitement and expectation. He was the first Democratic President since Jimmy Carter, breaking a chain of twelve years of Republican rule. Clinton’s victory brought the promise of a new era of progressive government...

  17. AHC: Republican Nominee Rick Perry

    Not sure if this has been done before, but here I think this an interesting and contemporary "what-if?" When Texas Governor Rick Perry jumped into the Republican Presidential contest in August of 2011 he was perceived as a front-runner and strong challenger to Mitt Romney. But as we all know...

  18. Madam President: Hillary Clinton in 2008

    Madam President: Hillary Clinton in 2008 “Thirty seconds, Senator!” shouted the young producer. He was bespectacled, with spiked blonde hair. Probably about twenty-five years old, just a few years out of college and full of hope and idealism. The whole convention hall was full of kids just...

  19. WI: Bill Clinton in 1988?

    I was recently flipping through "First in His Class" (a great book on Bill Clinton) when I came upon an interesting tidbit. Apparently Clinton came very close to running for President in 1988. Despite rumors of infidelity, Clinton was only dissuaded by his young daughter. Chelsea asked her...

  20. WWII in 1938

    The year is 1938. Europe braces for war. Germany, led by the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, has rearmed and seeks "lebensraum." They have already re-militarized the Rhineland and have annexed Hitler's homeland of Austria. Now they want the Sudetenland, a Germanic region of Czechloslovakia. The...
