Thought that just came to me.

What would be the reaction to the VP debate that year? What type of memes would result? And what would the Atlas live thread on it be like?

Daily Kos would have crashed with all the excitement. The 2012 board would be filled up with threads solely about the "You're no Jack Kennedy" line.

But what about Ron Paul?

Politico as Dukakis hack would be awesome.

But the most interesting would be primary season.

Nah, if there were a 2012 board way back in 1988, it would have threads like "Al Gore vs. Don Nickles 2012, discuss with maps", or "Will we have any women run for president between now and 2012?"

If this were 1988, I would be too busy going to Grateful Dead shows, and getting pushed into lockers by Molly Ringwalds jock boyfriend to have time for this forum.
