Gee. Makes we wonder how, ITTL, we rejected Goldwater in 1964 yet Kennedy was elected in 1960 and was considered wildly popular. Would Goldwater have done this?

Makes sense, though it does seem to be a bit of a stretch.

How long will this TL go on? I would be happy if it just went to January 20, 1973 but would like to see you continue it pass that.  Perhaps you could do an epilogue at Kennedy's last day. Maybe you could do a single long post of what would happen with Roe v. Wade and the abortion debate, what would happen in the USSR and the Cold War, the Conservative movement, the Space Shuttle, Terrorism, the internet and the future presidents and congressional leaders.

I wonder how HWBush's attainment of the Vice Presidency in 1972 will effect him and his son's future.

sh**tstorms are messy. Sad Anyways, it appears Agnew is a Domestic Centrist and a Severe Conservative on Foreign matters.

Well, Agnew's book is Not a Crook. Seems like it was quite the scandal in the 70s. Hopefully he got laid out of it with the sh**tstorm being "scandalous". Its going to be interesting how we deal with Vietnam and the USSR, that's for sure. I wonder if the Soviets will still even invade Afghanistan.

Really interested in seeing what happens with Kissinger. Is he too late to get up into the first tier of that Administration? The party still seems centrist enough to let a realpolitiker (or whatever is sexy and accurate to call a realist) be on the cabinent.

Gee. This is a much more neo-conservative 60s and 70s. In the late 70s, we will have to deal with Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq and Central America. Wonder how that will go.

I generally decided that the 1970's should become one of the worst decades in recent history, whether in the economy or in foreign policy. I decided a war against Palestine could be just the thing.

Besides the 2000s, weren't the 1970s the worst decade in recent history since the 1930s iotl?

I'd like to see how a church presidnecy would affect idahoans vote in the future haha... imagine, if in RL, church was elected president. would idaho be a democrat state, or at least,a no-that-republican state? I think so, but I'm endorsing bobby or carter for the presidency (I may decide later, hahaha).

Carter or Clinton didn't make their states any more Republican. Bush might have made Texas more republican, but it probably was more of DeLay's doing. I'm sure if it wasn't for DeLay's "South by Southwestern" strategy, Kerry could have gotten into the low 40s and McCain would have had to campaign in Texas, though he would still win. ...but Bush's doing? Nahh... on the other hand, Georgia stayed with Carter in 1980 and voted for Clinton in 1992...and still has half of a functioning Democratic Party.

The final results for the 1976 Presidential Election


Senator Robert F Kennedy (D-MA)/Senator George McGovern (D-SD); 281 electoral votes, 53.2% of the popular vote
President George Bush (R-TX)/Senator Ronald Reagan (R-CA); 257 electoral votes, 46.7% of the popular vote
Others; 0 electoral votes, .3% of the popular vote

The PV seems a bit high..

"Massachusetts Uber Alles" just killed me Grin

Any Uber Alles is funny. Especially when it involves a far-right state regime's attempt to overthrow the American way of life.

Another veer off...would be interesting to see what happens next. It appears the 1970s seemed to have calmed down. Kennedy could have a chance.
