Other (Socialist Workers, Libertarian, National)-0.9%
*Senators Weicker and Brooke run as independents, as they feel President Mondale is too far left, and the Republicans too far right. As a result, both tickets pick more centrist running mates, but it changes little.

President Jackson, increasingly unpopular due to Vietnam, still manages to win the election after vetoing a controversial civil rights bill, and as a result, George Wallace ends his 3rd party bid and endorses President Jackson.

In 2003, Halliburtongate breaks out. Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney is forced to resign when it is revealed that key government contracts were handed out to his former company. He was brought before a Senate investigative panel, and it is revealed that had lied under oath. President Alexander pardons him the next day, creating a massive outcry, and the special prosecuter of the case is fired by Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, adding fuel to the fire. President Alexander is impeached by the Democratic controlled House, but the Senate (also under Democratic control) does not reach enough votes to impeach him. President Alexander promises not to seek reelection as a result of the scandal.

The Democratic and Republican Parties both slowly sank into obscurity during Trumans first term, with the Union Party and the States Rights Party both took away their voters. Anti Communist, and States Rights supporters joined the States Rights Party, which adopted a Paleoconservative platform, and even managed to bring in former VP Robert Taft into their fold. The Union Party abandoned its roots with Huey Long, and adopted a more Social Democratic Platform, and advocated Universal Healthcare, Housing, and Education. They also brought in a former political star, in the form of Senator Franklin Roosevelt, who addressed their convention in Saint Louis, Missouri, only days before his death from cancer.

The States Rights Party held their convention in Atlanta, and nominated former SC Governor Strom Thurmond, and up-and-coming West Virginia Congressman Robert Byrd, on the first ballot. Their campaign against federal Civil Rights programs was not well received in the North, and their campaign was isolated into the South. The Union Party renominated President Truman and Vice President Taylor, and focused on expanding the Union Party's influence in the West and Rust Belt. The Republicans nominated fierce Anti Communist Senator Richard Nixon, of California, at the Republican convention in Buffalo, New York. He famously picked moderate Republican Senator Margaret Chase Smith of Maine as his running mate. The Nixon campaign focused on Communism, but adopted a more Federalist leaning platform, and this severely hurt them with the remaining Conservative base in the Republican Party, which left for the States Rights Party. The Democrats nominated 1940 Vice Presidential candidate, and Boston Mayor Joe Kennedy Sr. and Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson, campaigning on the traditional Democratic platform.

1964

Senator Barry Goldwater (C-AR)/Former Governor George Wallace (C-AL)-272 EV, 49.8% of the popular vote.
President Hubert Humphrey (U-MN)/Senator Lyndon Johnson (U-TX)-266 EV, 48.9 of the popular vote.
Other (Republican, Democratic, Christian)-1.3%

Like the Democrats, the Republicans dissolve. In 1962, President Morse is shot and killed by a Black Panther radical in Newark, and the States Rights Party renames itself the Conservative Party, and gains Barry Goldwater as a member. The 1964 convention in Charleston, West Virginia is deadlocked between Senator Goldwater, Senator Byrd, and now Senator Strom Thurmond. Thurmond drops out after the first ballot, and endorses Goldwater. Byrd is offered the second slot on the ticket, but declines, and Governor Wallace is selected. The Union Party convention is held in San Fransisco, and is a tribute to the slain President Morse, and nominates President Humphrey, and Texas Senator Johnson. The Republican and Democratic Parties, while dissolved at a national level, still had state holdovers, with various candidates being nominated in various states. The election will see the very first TV advertising, and was extremely close, Iowa being the deciding state.

The Conservative primaries comes down between two former Vice Presidents--Ron Paul, who, after a term as VP, and a failed campaign for the Conservative nomination in 1996, and former VP Richard Cheney. Paul pulled of a string of victories after Iowa, and wrapped up the nomination. VP Kerry received only minor challenges in the Union Primaries, with Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and Lt. Governor Charlie Crist of Florida running. The Liberty Convention met and nominated Congressman Peter King, of New York, and former American Ambassador to the Congo, Israel, and, Jordan, John Bolton.
