Title: Senators-Presidential Candidates?
Post by: TommyC1776 on May 20, 2007, 03:35:00 PM
What if the Senate Majority Leader and Minority Leader ran for President in each election cycle?  or what about the party leaders?  huh?  What would happen????????

See "America: 2000-2016". Yates didn't finish it, but it was a retty good timeline, and it dealt with the same situation that you're asking.

2004: Frist beats Daschle, just barely
2000: Daschle beats Lott, again close
1996: Daschle beats Dole (assuming Dole stays as leader)
1992: Mitchell vs. Dole - unsure who would win
1988: Dole beats Byrd
1984: Baker beats Byrd (again)
1980: Baker beats Byrd
1976: Mansfield beats Scott (again)
1972: Mansfield beats Scott
1968: Dirksen beats Mansfield (again)
1964: Dirksen beats Mansfield
1960: Johnson beats Dirksen

Of course, it all depends on the circumstances.  This is just my opinion.  If you don't mind, TommyC, I might want to change make this into an alternate history timeline once my current one runs out of steam, if that's ok with you.

Pretty much spot on except I think a reverse in 1960.
