I Like Mike: A Biotimeline

I like! I've often wanted to do a President Romney scenario, I'd like to see how the 1970's would take place with him at the helm. Quite interesting, I'd say. Civil Rights, maybe deficit reduction though no big aiming at social programs, maybe earlier welfare reform. Anyway those are my plans for a timeline someday. Poor George seems to be in more than he can handle. Who's his Secretary of State? I can see Mark Hatfield, Oregon Senator, Nuclear Freeze Proponent, and anti-war Republican getting the job.

Also, a minor critique, Moynihan was only elected to the Senate in 1974, taking office in 1975.

I'll tell ya, a cabinet with hippie Republican Mark Hatfield heading State and hawk Democrat Scoop Jackson head Defense is bound for quite a few good cabinet brawls.

Sorry, fed you an inaccuracy. It's 1976 that Moynihan was elected to the Senate.

I wonder what the map dynamic will be sans Carter. As well, who's Muskie's VP pick?

The map I would propose, though it doesn't exactly fit your description/

Muskie/Carter: 337
Romney/Moynihan: 201

I do think that the liberal GOP Romney would have a good shot at the west coast with Mark Hatfield on the stump.

Ford barely captured it and Muskie is a much stronger candidate outside the South than Carter, so I decided to hand it to Muskie. I see the GOP doing very well in the industrial mid-west however in this election.

FYI, my man Karl was president/chairman/whatever of the college republicans 1973-1977.
