    “Back then, I was just a kid from Petaluma. I didn’t know a thing about politics. I know more now. Or at least I know enough not to run. Still I have a platform that I can use to influence things. And I intend to use it.” –Polly Klaas, on the set of X-Men: Children of the Atom, 2002. “I...

    ...in Caracas. What happens next? Who will be the Republican nominee in 1960? Will the Democrats still nominate JFK and will they still win? Who would the Republicans nominate in 1968? What will become of American Conservatism without Richard Nixon in the White House?

  3. AH Vignette: Paths of Glory

  4. The Happy Warrior
    Threadmarks: Prologue

    Welcome to The Happy Warrior! Contributions are welcome. Just DM them to me for approval. - We were so sure that Jack could do it. I was sure of it, in fact. But it didn’t happen. Humphrey was running a better campaign then we expected. That and that damn rumor. I don’t know who started it but...

  5. Finally Home
    Threadmarks: Prologue

    Welcome to Finally Home. I don’t think anyone really expected it. I certainly didn’t. (chuckles) He had run a doomed campaign twenty years prior and lost. He ran again eight years prior and lost earlier. So when he announced in Nineteen Ninety-One, no one was really expecting much. Then again...

  6. Which timeline would you be interested in?

    I'm finishing up an Alternate History Vignette and will post it soon. What I'm wondering is which post-1900 timeline would people around here be most interested in? 1. Boats Against the Current: General Leonard Wood and Governor Frank Lowden strike a deal in the 1920 Republican convention to...

  7. President Hubert Humphrey 1960.

    What would it take to make Hubert Humphrey president in 1960? JFK not running? JFK losing West Virginia? Johnson actually running in the primaries? Say Humphrey wins the nomination, who would his vice president be? Lyndon Johnson? George Smathers? Claude Pepper? Who would Nixon choose? Lodge...

  8. The Borki Train Disaster

    In 1888, as Tsar Alexander III and his family traveled from Crimea to Saint Petersburg at high speed, the train they were on derailed. 21 people died and 14 to 35 people were injured. What if Alexander III and/or Nicholas II died in that accident? What would have happened next?

  10. Anglo/American war of 1838?

    What if the British and the Americans were unable to set aside their differences in 1838 and went to war? Who would win? What would become of the Canadian providences? Will they join America, be independent or remain a British colony? What would be the effects?

  11. WI Chappaquiddick never happened and Ted Kennedy ran in '72?

    Exactly what it says on the tin. Would Ted Kennedy have won in '72? Who would his VP be(I'd say Terry Sanford but who knows)? Who would be in his cabinet? Wilbur Mills? Ralph Yarborough? What happens to Mary Jo Kopechne? Would she run for office in Pennsylvania? Go into teaching?

  12. Which timeline should I do?

    Hi all. I know I have a bad habit of starting, stopping and restarting timelines. So I'm going to have you choose a timeline for me. You can choose one of eight choices. 1. Not Easily Conquered: POD: May 25, 1775. What if the American conquest of Canada started earlier? 2. A Mere Matter of...

  13. Which timeline should I do?

    I know, I know. I have a bad habit of starting (and restarting) timelines and not finishing them. I hope that this one will be different. So I have eight TLs that you might like: 1. Paths of Glory: POD: May 17, 1917. What if the Germans realized that the French army mutinied? 2. No Miracle...

  14. DBWI: WI Jimmy Carter wasn't assassinated?

    Hey, everyone. Just thinking about this year's election (I know, I know, no current politics on the board). Just got me thinking: What if Jimmy Carter wasn't assassinated in October 1980? Would we have had President Mondale's two (well technically three since he did finish out Carter's term)...

  15. Lost Prince Found
    Threadmarks: Intro

    The Kennedy Family has always been a subject of fascination for historians and alternate historians alike. Out of that family, John and Robert seem to have the most the most alternate timelines about them. Kennedy Forever and I have talked about it and we agreed that we should do a timeline...

  16. The attempted assassination of Thomas Marshall

    I realize that Marshall himself may not have been targeted but what if he had been there when the bomb went off? It was 1915, there was a war on and the bomber did say that he wanted to stop the financing of the Allied war effort. Would this have spurred America to get more involved in the war...

    Welcome to Worth Fighting For, a timeline by President_Lincoln and myself. “I have complete respect for President McCain. He was one of the best presidents we ever had.

  19. Not Easily Conquered

    Part I-The American Dream You know I have thought about doing a list of the Presidents of the United States for a while now. Since the 2020 election is just around the corner I thought that we should take a look at the 33 presidents that we've had so far. Sure people know the big ones...
