Camelot Rises: 1960 and On

[Enderman]

pretty good! *gives thumbs up*

[Enderman]

-- Martin Luther King, Jr. is assassinated by James Earl Ray in Memphis

NOOOO!! He could'a gone into politics...

[Enderman]

YAY! I always wanted it to work in modern times, but it does seem awkward that we could have a President Wallace...

[Enderman]

I guess this is the summer of electoral gridlocks... It started with Badgate's Political Fable 1 and 2, then it was my "Newt:2000" Then it's NHI's W. and the General, then it was your Camelot Rises: 1960 and On! (IIRC, there was another one that had an electoral gridlock, but I just don't remember which one it was... hmm....)

[Enderman]

Horray for H W 88! I dont really know about Dole.... I accept it, but I dont like it…… anyways, I hope Reagan at least gets SoS

[Enderman]

I cant believe with TWO Kennedys, we havent gone into space

[Enderman]

I like the idea of Reagan after Dole, but he has to have one term, sadly... I guess it should be Reagan/Quayle

[Enderman]

yeah, though people aren't commenting, its likely that everyone likes it.... oh, and GO CHRISTIE WHITMAN!

[Enderman]

Weird. So Weld, who actually won a state, has left the race but Whitman won't drop out?

There was backroom dealing going on, with Whitman promising her VP slot to Weld if he dropped out. She pulled the "I'm more electable than you because I'm a woman" card.

Huh... I thought it was because he was always at the bottom of the polls.

[Enderman]

Okay, you changed it. I assume it's a constitutional amendment?

Possibly... How many amendments are there since 1961? IIRC the '63 one was the 19th Amendment.

[Enderman]

KERRY!! NO!!

But at least Clinton won't be eligible in 2016...

[Enderman]

KERRY!! NO!!

But at least Clinton won't be eligible in 2016...

Rodham, actually. She divorced Clinton in 1998.

Yeah I just realized it

[Enderman]

Its gonna be a close one! Also are you thinking of continuing this into the future?

I have plans until atleast 2024, I may continue on past then - depending on how things go.

Though I haven't dropped in, as well as many other people, we are still listening.... Could you do a list of the presidents so far?

35. John F. Kennedy (D), 1961-1969
36. Richard M. Nixon (R), 1969-1973
37. Robert F. Kennedy (D), 1973-1981
38. Robert J. Dole (R), 1981-1989
39. Mario M. Cuomo (D), 1989-1993
40. William J. Clinton (D), 1993-1998
41. Albert A. Gore, Jr. (D), 1998-2005
42. Rudolph W. Giuliani (R), 2005-2009

Oh okay thanks. Also, why the R-MA to D-MA change?

[Enderman]

Scarborough/Huntsman (or my pick, Huntsman/Scarborough) anyone?

[Enderman]

I would love to vote enthusiastically with Scarborough/Ryan, but at least Sandoval and Scott Brown makes it closer... Mitch Daniels sadly is a no.

[Enderman]

Scarborough/Sandoval vs Rodham/Kennedy!

[Enderman]

I noticed that Jeb Bush got into the Senate about 2006, what was with that? Also how's Rubio doing? And why the heck haven't you put Paul Ryan higher than House Majority Whip? And no Speakership for Cantor? And I like that you put John Boehner in the Ohio Senate.


Just to have some questions and comments...

[Enderman]

So for now its gonna be Sandoval vs Kennedy? Awesome!

[Enderman]

Kennedy/Newsom vs Huntsman/Martinez
