Era of the New Majority

[Türkisblau]

As someone who has lurked for a while and love all the timelines posted on here, yours has made me want to give some encouragement. Keep going!

I'm liking it so far, especially the bit about Martin Heinrich; I remembering volunteering for him briefly about 6 years ago, nice guy.

I was split between him and Heather Wilson for Senate as she is one of the few Republicans that I admire.

P.S. Think about Wilson for something future in a timeline

On that same note, do you know anything about how special elections in New Mexico work? (Not to give anything away, of course, but... well, IF Clinton/Heinrich were to win, does Martinez pick his successor?)

Thanks for reading, btw!

Well we certainly haven't had  one of those in a while (recall the longtime incumbency of Domenici and Bingaman) so I just looked it up and it appears that in NM the governor makes an appointment of their choosing and then they can run for reelection or be replaced in the next gen. election. I can't post links yet but the NCSL has a great page on the rules for this.

Well we certainly haven't had  one of those in a while (recall the longtime incumbency of Domenici and Bingaman) so I just looked it up and it appears that NM is similar to NJ in that the Governor appoints a Senator of the same political party as the retiring Senator and a special election happens at a later date. I can't post links yet but the NCSL has a great page on the rules for this.

That's not true for NJ, remember Jeff Chiesa (R) replaced Frank Lautenberg (D) immediately after he died.

Yeah, you're right. I misread the table of information and that's only true for a few states. ^{It's getting late}

Loving the rate at which this is being updated. Can't wait for more!

I could see Russ doing something diplomatic due to his post in the Great Lakes region in Africa.

[Türkisblau]

Hm, I'm liking what's passed so far. I'm just wondering how the dems are going to survive 2018 after all this.

[Türkisblau]

The only states where it's required to fill the seat with someone from the same party are Arizona, Hawaii, Utah, and Wyoming.

Thanks! Since I already have a task for Heather Wilson now, I suppose it's congratulations to Senator John Sanchez.

I like the Sec. of Energy pick in Wilson

Keep on updating, I'm personally enjoying it and would call it more probable that many other timelines posted on this board.

[Türkisblau]

Great updates! I can't wait for 2020.

[Türkisblau]

VA Dems hold on, Christie indicted, and Limbaugh dies?

Liking this TL so far!

[Türkisblau]

I'd say make it take up less room but I do think it's fun to know X country won things like the Olympics, World Cup, etc... with the same going for the Superbowl.

[Türkisblau]

Wonderful!

[Türkisblau]

Really liking this new Heinrich v. Clinton story line developing. Can't wait for more.

[Türkisblau]

So Bill won't go full Edith Wilson?

Anyway, this should make for some really interesting midterm elections.

[Türkisblau]

Big props for keeping this up. Things aren't looking too bright for Heinrich...

[Türkisblau]

Great as always. Really happy to see this return.

[Türkisblau]

Still as great as ever. Poor Sandoval! Nothing seems to be going his way.

[Türkisblau]

Great to see 2026 getting done. It's a massacre!

[Türkisblau]

Good to see this continuing. Big kudos. Yeah, poor Sandoval...

[Türkisblau]

Ahaha love the latest update. You deserve more credit

[Türkisblau]

As always, the post-election write-ups were great. Can't wait to see where things go from here, and internationally they just seem to get worse and worse. Oh well.
