This is if Huey Long was not assassinated and fielded a candidate (not him) in 1936:

1933-1937: Franklin Roosevelt/John Nance Garner
1937-1941: Alf Landon/William Knox
1941-1949: Huey Long/Joe Kennedy
1949-1953: Robert Taft/Earl Warren
1953-1961: Estes Kafuavner/Hubert Humphrey
1961-1965: Hubert Humphrey/Scoop Jackson
1965-1973: Nelson Rockefeller/Henry Cabot Lodge
1973-1981: Ronald Reagan/George Wallace
1981-1985: John Connally/Terry Sanford
1985-1993: John Anderson/George Bush
1993-2001: Tom Harkin/Bill Clinton
2001-2005: William Weld/Arlen Specter
2005-Present: John Edwards/Ted Strickland

[Reaganfan]

(D) Jimmy Carter (1977-1981)
(R) Ronald Reagan (1981-1989)
(R) George Bush (1989-1993)
(D) Bill Clinton (1993-1997)
(R) Clint Eastwood (1997-2005)
(R) John McCain (2005-2009)
(D) Barack Obama (2009-)

Clint Eastwood was Mayor of Carmel, California from 1986 to 1988. Had he run for Governor of California in 1990, he would have won and would have been set up perfectly to run, at the age of 66, for President in 1996.

John McCain (2009-  )

I started working on a time line awhile ago that following these Presidents but I ended up abandoning it.

1974 - 1977 President Gerald Ford/Vice President Nelson Rockefeller
1977 - 1981 President Jimmy Carter/Vice President Walter Mondale
1981 - 1981 President Ronald Reagan*/Vice President Gerald Ford

2001 - 2005 President Dick Gephardt/Vice President Bill Bradley
2005 - ? ? ?  President John McCain/Vice President Tom Ridge

Fun thing about the Dream Ticket / Reagan assassinated scenario that people often forget is that Ford, having never been elected President in his own right, would still be eligible to run for re-election in 1984.

(1) died from complications of phlebitis and stress caused by backlash in admitting Shah of Iran into the US for medical reasons and subsequent hostage crisis at the US Embassy in Tehran.

(2) VP under Nixon. Selected Bob Dole as Vice President. Criticized for his pro-Arab foreign policies and Marine helicopter crash in the Iranian desert.

(3) Ran for President when Vice President Jimmy Carter decided not to run. Clinton picked John Kerry as his running mate. Extramarital scandals and use of White House bedrooms by political donors led to his re-election defeat.

(4) Defeated Vice President John McCain in 2000. Launched War on Terrorism after 9/11/01. Defeated Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and captured Osama bin Laden who was tried in the US personally by Attorney General Bill Weld. Bin Laden was executed in 2003. Secretary of Defense Sam Nunn advised Kerry against starting war with Iraq but approved gun running operations by CIA that resulted in Saddam's overthrow in 2004 and declaration of Kurdish Republic. Recession of late 2008 hurt campaign of Democratic nominee and former Secretary of State Bill Richardson.

Who was Kerry's VP?

[Captain Chaos]

Kerry's Vice President was Albert Gore Jr. Gore was elected US Senator from Tennessee in 1984 and serve there until he resigned in 2001 to assume the Vice Presidency.

Gore had previously run for President in 1988 and 2000. In his third try for the White House in 2008, he was the frontrunner until the Iowa caucuses that Bill Richardson won by about 250 votes over Gore.

From there, Gore's campaign went downhill. Richardson would win the New Hampshire primary. But on Super Tuesday, Gore was only able to win the states of Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee. Richardson won the remaining states and Gore dropped out at the end of March. Richardson selected Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend of Maryland as his running mate. She became the first woman nominated for Vice President on a major ticket.

Rudy Giuliani selected Senator Condoleeza Rice of California (former Secretary of State in the John Warner administration) as his running mate. His choice helped Giuliani win over 30% of the African-American vote and split the female vote with Richardson.

Interesting, and richly detailed, backstory... thanks.

If you'll indulge me... I'm assuming Rudy was Mayor of NYC during 9/11, and his path in this TL was similar to his path IRL post-9/11. But, would he still be seen as having the "9/11 tourettes", since he didn't have a President Bush or War on Terror to prop up for the party?

[Reaganfan]

31st (R) Herbert Hoover (1929-1933)
32nd (D) Franklin Roosevelt (1933-1945)
33rd (D) Harry Truman (1945-1949)
34th (R) Thomas Dewey (1949-1953)
35th (D) Harry Truman (1953-1969)
36th (R) George Romney (1969-1977)
37th (D) John Kennedy (1977-1981)
38th (R) George Bush (1981-1989)
39th (R) Howard Baker (1989-1997)
40th (D) Evan Bayh (1997-2005)
41st (R) Mitt Romney (2005-2009)
42nd (D) Joe Biden (2009-)

Truman loses to Dewey in 1948, but Dewey's unpopularity in 1952 makes him vulnurable in a re-match with Truman. Truman wins, and with the constitution amended during his Presidency, he is able to run in 1952, 1956, 1960 and 1964...serving through the majority of the 50s and 60s.

Rudy was Mayor of NYC during 9/11. After completing his term as mayor, he capitalized on his popularity by running for Governor of New York in 2002 (George Pataki was "persuaded" to retire). He was able to push through a large income tax cut and a stimulus package to rebuild much of NYC's economy that was affected by 9/11. After the state Supreme Court declared New York's death penalty law unconstitutional, Giuliani got a stronger death penalty law passed that would withstand constitutional scrutiny.

Giuliani was so popular going into 2006 that he was reelected in a landslide with 68% of the vote, a record for a New York Gubernatorial race. His coattails also helped Republicans win the two other statewide offices. Comptroller Alan Hevesi was defeated for re-election by State Senator Serphin Maltese when it was discovered that Hevesi used taxpayer money for a chauffeur to drive his wife to the doctor and to go shopping. Also, Elliot Spitzer's involvement with prostitutes was revealed by the US Attorney's office and it cost him his job as Attorney General. Spitzer resigned in disgrace and former state Assembly Minority Leader John Faso was elected Attorney General.

With Giuliani's ascension to the Presidency, he was succeeded as Governor by Susan Molinari.

So he was the obvious establishment candidate... his "Big State Plan" didn't fall to pieces before Florida... who else ran in the primary?

Sorry to be asking all of these question, but I'm really enjoying this timeline.

Sorry to be asking all of these question, but I'm really enjoying this timeline.

Please bear in mind that this Republican party remained a moderately conservative party and Ronald Reagan never became President. Also, the South is still Democrat but conservative.

Rudy Giuliani topped a GOP primary field that included Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, Bob Ehrlich (he was reelected Governor of Maryland ITTL 2006), Ron Paul (very libertarian), and Frank Keating (Governor of Oklahoma from 1995-2003, same as OTL, and elected to US Senate when David Boren retired).

In the Iowa primary, Giuliani finished in first place with 30% of the vote. Keating finished in second with 29% of the vote. Romney, favored to easily win the neighboring state of New Hampshire, did win the state but by only 5 percent ahead of Giuliani. Keating finished third. The tiny town of Dixville Notch was the first to vote. After all 34 residents voted at midnight, the votes were counted and Ron Paul finished first by 3 votes ahead of Giuliani. Romney did not get a single vote in Dixville Notch.

Keating finally won a primary with his victory in South Carolina, a 10 pont margin of victory over Giuliani. Thompson finished third, Romney finished fourth. Ehrlich dropped out and endorsed Giuliani.

On Super Tuesday, Giuliani won New York with 80 percent of the vote and Florida with 50 percent of the vote. Keating finished second in Florida and won his home state of Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee. Giuliani won New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont, Georgia (thanks to Newt Gingrich's endorsement), North Carolina (endorsed by Senator Elizabeth Dole and Rep. Sue Myrick) and Virginia. Romney won the states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Utah.

Nevertheless, Giuliani became the frontrunner after Super Tuesday. Romney ran out of money and dropped out.

Keating was able to win primaries in Kentucky, West Virginia and Kansas. Giuliani won the rest and clinched the Republican nomination at the end of April.

44th: Bill Bradley (D-NJ), January 20th 2005-January 20th 2009
45th: Mike Huckabee (R-AR), January 20th 2009-

Notes: Rocky dies on time as per OTL, after beating Carter in the 1976 General Election. By 1996 Governor Ann Richards of TX narrowly beats out VA Governor Douglas Wilder for the nomination to win the Presidency...So does it seem like a likley list?
