List of Alternate Presidents

[Psychic Octopus]

Bump.

HHH's Surprise

1969-1973 Hubert Humphrey
1973-1981 Nelson Rockefeller
1981-1985 John Connally
1985-1993 Lloyd Bentsen
1993-2001 Al Gore
2001-2005 George Allen
2005-         Wesley Clark

Why Clark ? I have difficulties to see the democratic party  become a southern party ( Bentsen, Gore, Clark ) because of Humphrey's win. It would be a bit paradoxal...

Actually, they don't become a southern party per se, the democrats just have trouble nominating people from the other part of the country. Both parties are supposed to become more centrist.

[Psychic Octopus]

That List is Amazing Historico.

Ok, Im running out of ideas for lists, but I stumbled upon one researching about Henry Ford. This is based on the pod that Ford wins the 1918 Michigan Senatorial Race against Newberry. He is chosen as the comprimise candidate during the 1924 US Presidential election. He wins a narrow victory, largely due to LaFollete's split of the GOP vote.

Joe Jr.'s plane isn't shot down in WWII

Joe Kennedy Jr. 1953-1961
Nelson Rockefeller 1961-1965
Scoop Jackson 1965-1969
George Romney 1969-1977
Gerald Ford 1977-1981
Ted Kennedy 1981-1985
George Bush 1985-1993
Dick Gephardt 1993-2001
Al Gore 2001-2005
Jay Rockefeller 2005-Present

Joe Jr. wins the Democratic Nomination at the convention as the young choice of the bosses and defeats Dwight Eisenhower in the closest election of the century (So far). He expands the Cold War and enacts large tax cuts to stimulate growth, generally following Military Keynesianism. He is slow to move on civil rights, and no major reforms are made until Nelly shows up.

Although I like your list, no way in hell does Eisenhower go down in 1952. He was unbeatable.

37. Robert F. Kennedy (Democrat - New York) 1969-1977

And I was criticized for too many Democratic terms

I actually think this would have happened. It's not very different from real life, I just party switched all the presidents from 1968 onward.

4 Democratic consensutive terms?

Given RFK's popularity I'm certain he would have narrowly won 1968 in the house, and then had a victory in 1972, but not a landslide.

Across the Pond and Far Away...

POD: Basically the same as the other one based on Britain, with some minor changes and points of divergence that escalate fairly different then the one in our world. The Progressive Party becomes a major force after the 1912 elections, yet Taft still wins. TR, gearing up for what looks like will be a successful run in 1916, dies on a trek through the Amazon... However, I need not recount the event of history, however, as they are well known to us.
