JFK isn't assassinated so LBJ is never elected, so here's the list from then on:

John F. Kennedy (D) (1961-1969)
Hubert H. Humphrey (D) (1969-1977)
Edmund Muskie (D) (1977-1981)
Ronald Reagan (R) (1981-1989)
Ron Paul (L) (1989-1997)
Richard Lugar (R)* (1997-2001)
Lamar Alexander (R)** (2001-2005)
George Pataki (R) (2005-2009)
Evan Bayh (D) (2009-Present)

* = Challanged in Primary by Alexander, drops out of race.
** = Does not run for re-election, endorses Pataki.

...

^^^^ That list is reminiscent of a GPORTER timeline.

[feeblepizza]

I guess I forgot to mention that it's a little unrealistic

It would make for a hell of a timeline

[feeblepizza]

I love making these list
This one is not as realistic as my other ones.

1948-Earl Warren/Dwight Eisenhower
1952-Earl Warren/Dwight Eisenhower
1956-Hubert Humphrey/John Kennedy
1960-Hubert Humphrey/John Kennedy
1964-Barry Goldwater/William Scranton
1968-Barry Goldwater/William Scranton
1972-John Kennedy/Henry Jackson
1976-John Kennedy/Henry Jackson
1980-Henry Jackson/Mo Udall*
1981-Mo Udall/Birch Bayh
1984-Mo Udall/Birch Bayh
1988-Mo Udall/Barbara Jordan
1992-Lamar Alexander/Pete Wilson
1996-Lamar Alexander/Pete Wilson
2000-Bill Bradley/Bob Kerrey
2004-Bill Bradley/Bob Kerrey
2008-Bob Riley/Mitch Daniels

At least Barry Goldwater was President.

I figured some of Kennedys skeletons in the closet would be found. I have a question, do they do collaborative list here. For example, one might post 1960-2012, and someone fills in a slot per turn?

Those were quite fun, we need to start a thread doing that

I'll be open to it.

Nixon Chooses Hatfield
Presidents/Vice-Presidents
37. Richard M Nixon (R-NY)/Mark Hatfield (R-OR), John Connally (R-TX) 1969-1974
38. John Connally (R-TX)/Gerald R Ford (R-MI) 1974-1981
39. Edward M Kennedy (D-MA)/Edmund G "Jerry" Brown Jr. (D-CA) 1981
40. Edmund G "Jerry" Brown Jr. (D-CA)/Walter F Mondale (D-MN) 1981-1989
41. Robert Dole (R-KS)/Donald Rumsfeld (R-IL) 1989-1993
42. Paul Tsongas (D-MA)/David Boren (D-OK) 1993-1996
43. David Boren (D-OK)/Ann Richards (D-TX) 1996-1997
44. Ann Richards (D-TX)/John F Kerry (D-MA) 1997-2001
45. Elizabeth Dole (R-SC)/John Engler (R-MI) 2001-2009
46. Bill RIchardson (D-NM)/Michael Bloomberg (D-NY)

Losing Tickets
1972: Henry M Jackson (D-WA)/James E Carter (D-GA); Eugene McCarthy (I-MN)/Mike Gravel (I-AK)
1976: George McGovern (D-SD)/Terry Sanfrod (D-SC)
1980: Ronald W Reagan (R-CA)/Robert Dole (R-KS), Charles Matthias (I-MD)/Edward Brooke (I-MA)
1984: George Bush (R-TX)/Jack Kemp (R-NY)
1988: Walter F Mondale (D-MN)/Ernest Hollings (D-SC)
1992: Robert Dole (R-KS)/Donald Rumsfeld (R-IL), Ron Paul (L-TX)/Barry M Goldwater (L-CA)
1996: Jack Kemp (R-NY)/John Ellis Bush (R-FL)
2000: John F Kerry (D-MA)/Zell Miller (D-GA)
2004: Howard Deant (D-VT)/Bill Richardson (D-NM)
2008: John Ellis Bush (R-FL)/Judd Gregg (R-NM)

Why did Hatfield leave?

I would say Nixon chose someone more conservative b/c the base was moving away from him and towards someone like Ashbrook.

Reagan - In 1987, President Reagan resigned after revealing that he had been diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer. He died of that same cancer in 1991, at the age of 80.
Bush - In 1992, amidst a recession, President Bush won a third term by a close margin over Arkansas Governor and 1988 VP nominee Bill Clinton, who was nominated by the Democrats again in 1996.
McCain - In 2008, the 72 year old President was easily reelected after it was revealed that Democratic nominee John Edwards had fathered a lovechild. Edwards confessed to the allegations, but refused to resign from the ticket, citing Grover Cleveland's 1884 victory despite admitting that he had fathered a lovechild.

45. Barack Obama (D-IL): 2009-2011

42. Clinton was elected in 1992 with Al Gore as his VP. His term included tax increases, a failed universal healthcare proposal, a ban on assault weapons, and the ratification of NAFTA. In 1998, Clinton was impeached by the U.S. Congress on charges of perjury and obsruction of justice relating to the Paula Jones case and the Monica Lewinsky affair.
43. Gore took office in 1998 after President Clinton was impeached. During his term, he kept the economy on the good side and brokered a landmark peace treaty between Israel the Palestinian Authority. He was reelected over George W. Bush in 2000 in a close and controversial election centering around Florida, with Joe Lieberman as his VP. During his second term, he invaded Afghanistan as a response to terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001. The war and the economy were stagnant come 2004, when he was running for a third term.
44. Bush was elected over President Gore in 2004, with George Pataki as his VP. During his term he strengthened the economy via major tax cuts to the middle class. However, the war in Afghanistan got progressively worse under his leadership. In 2008, a troop surge was enacted in order to save the war effort before the elections were underway. He faced a limp primary challenge from the antiwar Congressman Ron Paul.
45. Obama was elected in 2008, becoming the first African-American Commander-in-Chief. The major focus of his term was withdrawing troops from Afghanistan after declaring the war a failure. He did so, but was assassinated by an Al Qaeda operative in 2011 while addressing the few remaining U.S. toops there. Other major accomplishments include the passage of a universal healthcare bill in March 2010.
46. Bayh took office in January of 2011 after President Obama was assassinated. The first test of his term was the massive earthquake in Japan in March. He sent billions in aid.

In 1995, Ted Kazinsky assassinated President Cuomo after scrapping a plan to attack federal buildings in Oklahoma City. Vice-President Clinton succeeded him and was reelected twice, like Reagan.

Cathcon, these lists are always hackish, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

I guess so. I'd like to think I've gotten better since then, though...

Yes, you certainly have. Would you have put John Anderson in the Oval Office when you first wrote the INCREDIBLY HACKISH scenario?

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make...

I mean you're not a hopeless right wing hack anymore.

I always keep wanting to make more lists and have a couple of ideas, but half-way through making the list, I look at my most recent part of the list and ask myself "am I really proud of that?" and the list fails.

I always peter off for fear that I'm being unrealistic.
