If you could take this forum back to any U.S. presidential election cycle....

[State Comptroller Atkins]

....which one would it be? Which election cycle would generate the most 'interesting' discussion?

[Oakvale]

2000, solely for the complete meltdown that would happen leading up to and after Bush -v- Gore.

[Grumps]

1980

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

1876.

[Pacific Councillor Big Wiggly Style]

Dammit. This was my answer.

[ChairmanSanchez]

1968

The thread about the 1936 Literary Digest poll would be truly epic. But maybe not as epic as the anti-Lincoln thread in 1860.

[A-Bob]

2000 or 1960

[Senator Napoleon]

1920, imagine discussing the first female vote!!

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

After the election I'm sure there would be threads saying "Thanks gals, the Democrats will never win again because of your votes!"

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

1844

Give him a barrel of hard cider and settle a pension of two thousand a year on him, and take my word for it, he will sit the remainder of his days in his log cabin...

[Governor Scott]

1788 or 1860.

[Emperor SJoyce]

1860; I'd love to see how the 4-way election would play out on here.

[Senator Snowstalker]

1968

[Nagas]

1860; I'd love to see how the 4-way election would play out on here.

Would the secessionists form their own forum for the 5 years after?

[Communists For McCain]

I'm shocked nobody mentioned 1948 yet.

I mean really...........

[Torie]

1968

Clearly. That was an unbelievable ride.

[Frodo]

1968

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This. 

[HappyWarrior]

1948 if only because of the number of people who would be wrong about damn near everything.

[Rockefeller]

1960

[Emperor SJoyce]

It'd be a sub-forum.

It'd be a sub-forum.

Much of the debate about the sub-forum would be whether it should be a child board under the "International Elections" board or have its own separate board.

And whether or not US elections should be moved to the International Elections board, and whether it should be renamed the CS Election Atlas Forum

1936 would be so much fun -- polling data, except for one random new outfit named Gallup, shows Landon with a mild victory, and then on Election Night Roosevelt pulls out a gigantic victory. It'd be like if Rasmussen was revealed to have had a mild Democratic slant in 2010 (never mind everyone else).
