Terrific updates! Is George Romney still governor of MI then?


Thanks...

No, Romney retired after two terms from 1963 to 1971. But at that time, there wasn't term limit in Michigan.

Romney was elected MI Governor in 1962 & reelected in 1964 & 1966.

Speaking of Governors: what happened to Connally ? I'm assuming he chose not to seek a 4th 2-year term in 1968 ?

I also have some tidbits on this TL: Brewer (if he had beaten Wallace in the Runoff in 1970), was allowed to seek a 2nd full 4-year term in 1974 & was NOT term limited since AL extended the term of Governor to back-to-back 4 years.

On Rocky: I thought he was buried at the Rockefeller Family Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, NY St ? Because I noticed that you'd have to be in the military to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

I hope Clements got a job in the Rockefeller & Ford administrations considering he was the US Deputy Defense Secretary in real life under Nixon & Ford.

Here's the link on AL Governors:

*Brewer was NOT term limited in 1974 in your TL, but he would've ran for a 2nd full 4-year term.

Looking forward to more juiciness in this TL.

I feel sorry for Reagan: getting denied the Presidency how many times ? I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to run for Governor again in 1982 when Moonbeam bails.

I'm assuming the administrations of Rocky & Ford have friendly relationship with Taiwan ?

Would the UN be Ok with both Taiwan & PRC as members ?

I'm still in favor of an Askew/Glenn ticket if I can't have President Mondale.

Brown is icky. Sad Bentsen is... meh.

I'm going to assume that Clements won the TX Governor's Mansion for the GOP in 1978 in this TL as he did in real life.

I'm also going to assume in this TL, Briscoe was defeated in the nasty Dem Primary to then-State AG John Hill (D), who choked to Clements in the GE.

Here's hoping White beats Clements in 1982....

I think Reagan would do better in NH than IA , remember in OTL he did much better in NH than IA both in 76 and 80. NH was a pretty conservative Republican state in those days .

I've modified these results a little now Tongue

POTUS Ford must've been off his game lately.... Reagan's getting the mojo & Ford wishes he had picked Reagan for VP.

On NC Governor: Holshouser was term limited from succeeding himself in 1976, so I don't think he would've been allowed to run again for the Governorship that year.

I'm going to assume Jim Hunt (D) won the Governorship in 1976 in this TL like he did in real life.

Which means that Hunt became NC Governor in 1977 after getting elected in 1976 in real life.

Speaking of Helms, what's he going to do in this TL ? Run for the other US Senate seat in 1980 ?

That would be a very smart move in order to unite all the wings of the party.

Something tells me Ford will deeply regret NOT picking Reagan as VP although if Ford wins the nomination, he can still pick Reagan & dump the other guy.

I'm assuming Taiwan still has diplomatic relations with the United States & still a member of the United Nations ?

In other words: Reagan wants the Presidency or nothing at all.

TX Dems do NOT want Clements appointing a GOPer to Bentsen's US Senate seat.  I betcha some of them are secretly rooting for Moonbeam and maybe Askew to be the Dem nominee for the Presidency.


I didn't mention Askew in that quote.
