The next update will feature the results of the Gubernatorial Elections of 1990, and because it's an anti-Democratic year, it will effect several races by a few points. The result in one state will permanently hinder the political career of one of our real timeline's most significant recent politicians. This goes back to my first post, on how many politicians simply got lucky or unlucky in their political career. Hint: In real life 1990, a retiring Republican governor A was succeeded by Democrat B who won by less than four percentage points. But in this timeline, the retiring Republican governor A will be succeeded by the Republican candidate C. Which means 4 years later.... a certain someone won't be able to challenge the incumbent Democrat B, they will instead be watching the Republican C run for reelection.
So Bush has to wait until 1998 (at least)?
Very interesting.
