1960 Presidential Election

Kefauver!

It would appear that Goldwater has won in an utter landslide. The left isn't going to like the next few years.

Only if the AU has control of both Houses of Congress, otherwise Goldwater probably won't get anything done, no?

Right. As Goldwater almost reached 60% by himself, his coattails have also solidified majorities for the AU in both houses, so he'll have a much easier time getting his agenda through. Now comes the hard part of actually figuring out what the next four years will be like.

I would think Goldwater will push for some Constitutional amendments.

I can't imagine the majorities are that big.  I'm sure we'll see some of the Kefauver administration's progress on civil rights being rolled back.

Damn, remember when we elected Donnelly? The left hasn't seen a two-term President since - not even Oscar ing Underwood, the second-greatest President of all time, could get reelected!

Indeed, this is like a bizarro version of the first series.

I welcome it. The last series had us elect only Democrats for 50+ years straight from the Cold War and beyond. How much good material can you really write up from that?

I enjoyed the Democratic stranglehold on American politics.
