Scott Westman and Ted Kennedy were early friends as were Joe Biden and Dale Bumpers.

Alabama is not represented here.

Did you want it to be? I was always under the impression that you didn't want me to use your Dent character. If that's different, I'll gladly change it.

Not quite. The reason I didn't want Dent being used by Mechaman were his excessive butterflies (I can't imagine my character having a place in a TL without Vietnam War, Nixon Presidency etc.) You seems to start like an original Americana.

If you wish to, feel free to use Dent any way you just want to. I'd be happy to read it Smiley

Reagan v. Dent race would be pretty amusing. A teflon President v. teflon Senator. Former Democrat v. former Republican.

However, 1984 is a lost cause.

Not necessarily Wink Remember, this is my universe and anything can happen Wink

Ah, true.

Anyway, I'm just an interested bystander Wink

When Watson made a positive refusal, Mondale contacted Westman about the opportunity. Westman accepted the VP slot on the condition that he could also run for re-election in his Montana Senate seat.

In your previous versions, Lawrence Watson was born in 1950, which means he's 34 in 1984. One year short of being eligible for President.

As of Westman, he was elected in 1976, which means he was just reelected in 1982. Unless, of course, you butterflied something.

Also, what were results in Delaware and Rhode Island? I can't see it on the map.

Otherwise, great job as usual Smiley

Watson would be 34, but only between January 20th and February 11th... It matters not anyway lol.

Westman I have being elected previously in 1978. (He was in the House from 1972-1977) Only a minor butterfly.

Ah, OK. U.S. can be vicepresidenteless for some days Wink + Tongue Smiley

Delaware and RI both went to Mondale... I know, it's kinda tough to see... Delaware didn't fill in properly because it would change the background color.

I think you should consider using electoral votes calculator. Now it have more color options.

lol @ Montana going 60% Democratic.

It makes sense, but it's still kind of funny considering how well Reagan did there IRL.
What a difference a Montana Democrat makes to the ticket.

I actually forgot to play with those buttons until after I'd finished lol Tongue Ah well... For the sake of pretend, we'll say Montana's a bit more Democratic than IRL lol.

Pretty much like in Mecha's TL.

However, you may consider making Alabama more Democratic than IRL, following my universe Tongue

Can't drive? You're not alone. I can't either.
