Great timeline PBrunsel Smiley. I'm glad Herbert Hoover was elected over President Cox in 1924, with Robert La Follette as his running mate. What a great Republican ticket. Shame that never occured.

With a new president, will the nation continue in the tide of progressivism, or will President Hull take the nation down a path it could never have expected?

The last line of the last installment of the TL Intrigued me very much so. That leads me to my question. Will the Republicans become the liberal party and the Democrats the conservatives? Once again GREAT timeline PBrunsel, you have a good skill in writing "What-If" timelines.

Great job with the TL PBrunsel. Just a question I would like to ask though. What's happening with Adolf Hitler? Was he "elected" Chancellor of Germany in late 1932?

Looks like the Axis Powers will win World War II. On the plus side, we get no Prince Charles and we'll never hear the name Camilla Parker Bowles. Another great installment in the TL, PBrunsel. Shame FDR didn't win over Douglas MacArthur. Will FDR be making anymore appearences in this TL?

Great update PBrunsel. This TL is really good, but scary considering we've got Douglas MacArthur in the White House. I have two questions to ask about the timeline and they are:

1) Are you planning on making Malcolm Little have a political career? Because I have read a TL where he ends up becoming Attorney-General in a Reagan Administration from 1973-1977.

2) With Joseph P. Kennedy Jnr elected into the House of Reps in 1944, what's Jack and Bobby going to do in this TL? Will they make an appearence anytime soon, or will they be unrecognisable in this Alternative world?

Once again, a great update. I cannot believe that the Democrats won the White House though. Shame the GOP didn't nominate Earl Warren though Sad I'm looking forward to the next update. Will Nixon make an appearence in the next update?

This TL continues to be a good read. I'm looking forward to the 1952 Presidential Election. Could Governor Joe Kennedy Junior be the Democrats nominee in 1956? Looking forward to the next update.

Glad to see that Thomas Dewey was elected as President in this TL. I'm really looking forward to the 1956 Presidential Election between Dewey and (probably) Governor Joe Kennedy Junior. Will Nile Kinnick's problems of being a Christian Scientist plauge him if he were to run for President?

I am really looking forward to the 1956 Presidential Election, hopefully between Governor Joseph P. Kennedy Junior and President Thomas E. Dewey. May I ask PBrunsel, does Ronald Reagan plan on embarking a political career?

Continues to be very good. I may sound impatient but when will we see the 1956 Presidential Election?

Brilliant update, as usual Wink. I really wanted President Dewey to win re-election though, we cannot have those Catholic Kennedy's running amok in the White House! LOL. I'm really loving this Republican Party in this TL, shame it didn't happen the way it did in RL. Damn Americans, you should have voted for James Cox in 1920!

Continues to be very good PBrunsel, as always Wink. May I ask did the Suez Canal Crisis occur in this TL? I would assume that President Dewey would have been like RL President Eisenhower on the issue. I wonder if Governor Knowland will run for the White House in either 1960 or 1964. It should be very interesting indeed. I cannot wait to see the 1960 Presidential Election, hopefully President Kennedy loses to a good Republican!

Continues to be a very good read PBrunsel. I'm rooting for Nelson Rockefeller in 1964! That's if he runs in '64, I hope he does Wink. Also, what's Nixon doing in this TL?

As you know PBrunsel I really, really love this TL. I am looking forward to the 1964 Presidential Election. I wonder who will get the nomination on both sides. I hope that Rockefeller will on the GOP side and Vice President Symington on the Democratic side. Hopefully that envolves a Rockefeller victory. Apart from looking forward to the '64 Election I am looking forward to Sam Giancana's revenge on President Kennedy? Assassination anyone?

RIP Vice President Stuart W. Symington. Why couldn't it be President Kennedy? Continues to be very entertaining and enjoyable. I can't wait for the 1964 Presidential Election! As long as Governor Knowland isn't elected I shall be a very happy man.

However, when will your own fine timeline continue?

Probably tomorrow. A late Christmas present for all of those fans of the TL. What will happen in the Suez Crisis? Who will become President in 1960? Find out Soon! Sorry for the cross-advertising.

Very interesting tickets. If only the Democrats nominated Goldwater in RL. That would be scary but yet hilarious at the same time. I'm rooting for Nixon/Smith in 1964. I really hope that the Goldwater/Westmoreland ticket crashes and burns. Continue the excellent work Smiley.

Great Update Paul Smiley. As always.

It's a shame Vice President Chase Smith declined to run for the Presidency in 1972 in this TL. She would have been a good President. Though saying this I hope that Rocky gets the nomination and wins the Presidency. Preferably against George Wallace.

Will Ronald Reagan run for public office soon?

You know who I want to win in the 1972 Presidential Election don't you? Tongue

Though I doubt that the Rockefeller/Hatfield ticket will win in 1972. I think that Congressman Ashbrooke will win Sad. One can only hope that the Republicans will regain the White House in 1976.

Ashbrook won like I suspected. It should be interesting to see how his Presidency goes. Keep up the good work!

Continuing on the what is, yada-yada doing at this time, I'll ask PBrunsel some questions of my own.

Firstly what is George McGovern doing in this TL? I'd assume he'd be a member of the GOP.

And secondly, who are potential candidates for the 1976 Presidential Election? Even though it's 1973 in the Timeline?

Holy sh**t! I didn't notice that Saddam had risen to power before 1979. How did that occur PBrunsel?

Great Work, as always Smiley

Be on the lookout for what happens in Iraq and Iran durring the 1970s.

I sure will be on the lookout PBrunsel.

What's the situation in Iran at the present time? Is the Shah of Iran in power?
