Sorry, but how does this affect the election?

Also, Geraldine Ferraro / John Glenn 1988 ftw.  Wink

I take it you've read Richard Ben Cramer's 'What it Takes: The Way to the White House'. Good, isn't it?

I just picked it up.  Yes Wink

The next update will feature the results of the Gubernatorial Elections of 1990, and because it's an anti-Democratic year, it will effect several races by a few points. The result in one state will permanently hinder the political career of one of our real timeline's most significant recent politicians. This goes back to my first post, on how many politicians simply got lucky or unlucky in their political career. Hint: In real life 1990, a retiring Republican governor A was succeeded by Democrat B who won by less than four percentage points. But in this timeline, the retiring Republican governor A will be succeeded by the Republican candidate C. Which means 4 years later.... a certain someone won't be able to challenge the incumbent Democrat B, they will instead be watching the Republican C run for reelection.

So Bush has to wait until 1998 (at least)?

Very interesting.

Yup it's Bush. Bush will not run for Governor of Texas in 1994, mainly because there will be a Republican incumbent running for reelection. I haven't decided what path George Bush will take (if any). Update coming soon!

Looking forward to it!

Please not potatoe....

I don't love Quayle but I hate the sh**t he gets in otl.  Same with W.  No, they aren't the brightest bulbs in the box, but do we really need to say that they're broken?  Anyway, I'd like to see Ron Paul and Pete Wilson make bids ITTL.  It would be neat to see a president Pete Wilson TL.
