If Dole was such a "moderate" (as the Tea Partiers suggest), then why would he be popular in the South?

And BTW, Weicker was in Independent when he served as CT governor.  Does he stay a Republican in this timeline?

First off, as 1980 suggests, by 2000, there's already been a male candidate for President with the last name Dole. I doubt anyone would call him a "belle". Wink Secondly, as for Weicker, it remains to be seen. The parties are going to be looking slightly different in this timeline than in real life.
Ah, so you're talking about Liddy?

Paul Tsongas was an American hero.
So is Holton.

Btw, Holton's been always an interesting figure to me, a pre-Goldwater Southern Republican who was highly sceptical of former Democrats crossing the party line.
Very few Democrats actually did that.  See Robert Byrd, Fritz Hollings, Orval Faubus, Lester Maddox, George Wallace, Bull Connor, and a host of others who never switched to the GOP.

I'm not sure it would have been much of an upset for Coleman to beat Wellstone IRL.
