Maybe... I've not got that far yet though.
Actually... yes. Some maps. For this to look good it needs an insane amount of maps.
Thanks

I haven't read the book, but if its in the 50s or 60s, maybe there would have been a better chance. I guess in the 50s we may have gone republican, due to cold war tensions. Did the dems have enough congress seats to block any such move in the Eisenhower era?
Also, how did it look after the Johnson landslide of '64? As we went labour from '64-'70, it could maybe have been possible then.

Its quite worrying to see so much anti-Americanism around in the UK and on the continent, and I reckon that can only change if Kerry is elected this November. Are Americans generally bothered about relations with other western countries and what other countries think, or is it not a major issue? Has Kerry been campaigning along those lines?

Also, does anyone know if I can have D-International on my profile, like on the prediction map thing?

[UK Stu]

Yeah, just read the profile thing properly and it says I can't have 'D-Int' yet. Why do I never read these things properly the first time?!

1.  Most people aren't bothered.  In fact, most people don't see beyond their immediate locale... something like 80% of high schoolers couldn't identify Iraq on a map last year.

Oh yeah ! There will be maps. If you want to make the maps Harry, I will send you the data.

[UK Stu]

Im looking forward to seeing these maps, though Im not convinced by the choice of English regions.  Just think, if it were true, Gore would be coasting to re-election now......

*blows dust off*

I liked the bit where Haughey split away with the Fine Gaelers to form the Irish Republicans. (Fianna Fail known as the Republican party here)

1968 would be very close in Ireland between all three candidates; especially if Wallace kept onto his pro-labour platform even with Powell.

1972 = Solid Nixon victory; perhaps one of the few Ireland would vote Republican.

1976 Onwards = Solidly Democratic except in 1984 and possibly 1980. The sort of religious conservatism played by the GOP does not play well in Ireland; as most conservative catholics have a very dim view of neo-liberalism.
