We’ve been sorely lacking on good detailed Kennedy live timelines. I love the format as well btw.

I feel like a POTUS at 67% would poll higher, but good update!

Without spoiling anything, how far have you planned this out? It’s really well written and has a good flow.

You'll see! I'll do the results of individual Senate and Gubernatorial elections, and a general look at House composition (I don't have time to do all 435 races, lol) every presidential and midterm year, and off-year elections for governor (forgot 1963, nothing changed)

Gonna guess that Faubus overperforms. Also, why wasn't he at the debates? He's polling at 17%.
Not only did the Commission on Presidential Debates not exist until 1987, that 15% rule wasn't implemented until 2000. ABC sent out the invites, and Faubus was not invited.

Interesting in this TL that ABC controlled the debates in every way considering at the time they were a distant third nationally and in virtually every Top 50 TV market in the country. Factor in the star power and big name recognition of Cronkite at CBS and Huntley/Brinkley at NBC and it’s even more shocking.

On Faubus not getting invites, that likely just furthered the narrative of the “Coastal elites” and the “Establishment” trying to “rig” things against the “average man” aka southerner.
Makes sense to me - if ABC wants a breakout moment, continuing the tradition of debates (which only occurred in 1960 and then again after 1976), this would be the way to do it.
