Awesome stuff. I look forward to reading this in the future. Couple of things: back then, no candidate ever announced a run for the Presidency (except for an exception when Charles C. Pinckney straight up broke that rule, as I recall), they instead sat back, denied political ambitions, and allowed their surrogates to nominate them at the party caucus. In Jefferson's case, for example, his candidacy in 1796 was almost completely the work of Madison. Also, it's unlikely that the Republicans would nominated two Virginians. Not only does this lack regional balance, but VA's electoral votes would have to go to Jefferson and another candidate. Given it's 1792, the Republicans are likely to nominate who they did in RL for the Vice Presidency, NY Governor George Clinton.
Still, this is well written and well done. I look forward to seeing the first (of many?) Adams term.
