Who was Chafee's opponent?

[hcallega]

YES!!! Two Longs in one timeline. I'm an especially big fan of Russy-Russ. There's actually a case to be made that he was the most conservative president in your atl Historico, considering he was socially conservative and pro-buisness.

44. Clinton B. LeSueur (D-MS): January 20th 2009-???

Notes.


37. Tricky Dick is able to convince friend, former campaign manager and California Lieutenant Governor Robert H. Finch to run with him as his running mate during the 1968 Election. Nixon’s Presidency goes essentially the same as IOTL, and resigns due to the Watergate scandal. The Sitting Vice President Robert H. Finch becomes the nation’s 38th President.

38. The Moderate President focuses much more on the domestic issues hurting the nations and is able to get Comprehensive Universal Health Insurance passed. Despite taking major flack for pardoning President Nixon, Finch is able to win an incredibly narrow victory over Scoop Jackson in the ’76 Election. However worsening economic conditions, slow reaction to the Iranian crisis and a mandate for change led to the defeat of Vice President Bob Dole to the Southern Moderate to Conservative Democrat in the 1980 Election.

39. Askew came into office in an atmosphere of change and against Washington Insiders. He would be a champion of Civil Rights and Capital Punishment but anti-nuclear freeze, anti-ERA and anti-Gay Rights. Relations with the Soviet Union would remain particularly frosty but economic prosperity would ensure him a comfortable victory over Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee. The Heightened sense of possible Nuclear War dominated his second term, which intern allowed Vice President Bayh to be defeated by Pete DuPont in 1988 election

40. Running on a platform for Economic Renewal, Pete du Pont’ despite his aristocratic lineage was supported by many working class voters for his lowered tax rates and passage of a balanced budget amendment. Yet it would be a failed attempt to reform the Social Security system and the bloody US Occupation of Iraq which doomed his reelection chances to Massachusetts Senator Paul Tsongas.

41. One of the last vestiges of the socially liberal yet economically conservative Northeastern wing of the Democratic Party, Tsongas was thrust into the White House largely due to a strong third party candidacy of Ross Perot. His economic policies were fairly popular as well as his successful withdraw from the Iraq conflict gave Tsongas high approval ratings. Yet it would be his health which would deter him from seeking reelection, allowing Vice President Miller to defeat former Vice President Laxalt in the ’96 Election. He would die two days before Miller’s inauguration on January 18th, of pneumonia and liver failure while in office.

42. President Miller would maintain Tsongas’ popular economic policies but socially reign as a social conservative Askew Democrat. He would make renewing America’s failed public school system his major championing issue. However he would loose in the most disputed election in history, where a three way election between Reform Party nominee Angus King of Maine, and Republican nominee Governor George Pataki of New York was thrown to the House of the Representatives. Pataki was able to extract concessions from King and win in the House, thus ensuring him the Presidency.

43. Although not the true popular vote choice for President, Pataki came into office wanting to cement his legacy as leader of the progressive wing of the Republican Party. Administrating as an Environmentalist who continued Miller’s education reforms but it would be a strong response to the terrorist attacks on March 20th 2003 which ensure him a landslide victory over former Vice President Tom Harkin in the 2004 election. Pataki would leave office and highly successful President, but Vice President John McCain could not overcome the mantra of change echoed by Mississippi Governor Clinton LeSueur.

44. Clinton P. LeSuer is the nation’s 1st African American and youngest President to be sworn into office as an Askew Democrat which is known term as socially conservative, economic Keynesian.

Notes:
30. When President Fall’s name surfaced in the Teapot Dome scandal, the Republicans were doomed. Cordell Hull and the Democrats capitalized and won a landslide victory in 1924.

31. Hull had an uneventful first term. But his second was marked by the stock market crash in October 1929 and his inaction in the face of an impending recession which would have been worse if he did not veto the Smoot-Hawley bill raising tariffs. The Republicans won back majorities in Congress in the 1930 elections.

32. Hoover won a landslide victory over the hapless Democratic nominee, Vice President John Davis, by promising a New Deal for the American people and “a chicken in every pot.” In his first hundred days in office, Hoover pushed for passage of landmark banking reforms, the Securities Exchange Act, interstate highway construction, and rural electrification. After defeating Governor Alfred Smith in a landslide in 1936 (Hoover even won Florida, Texas, Virginia, and North Carolina), Hoover had the political capital to pursue more legislation. The Civil Rights Act of 1937 would end institutional discrimination against racial minorities, lynching and the poll tax. To this day, blacks and Hispanics are the most loyal supporters of the Republicans. With war brewing in Europe in 1938, Hoover was tempted to seek a third term in 1940 but decided to honor the two term tradition. He hoped that Vice President William Borah would succeed him as President but Borah died on January 19, 1940. The Republicans nominated Senator Kenneth Wherry and he offered the Vice Presidency to Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia of New York City. After LaGuardia refused, Governor Theodore Roosevelt Jr. of New York accepted. Wherry defeated Senator Earl Long (D-LA) in 1940.

33. As President, Wherry continued Hoover’s isolationist policies but that came to an end when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in 1942. The USA entered World War II on the side of the Allies. On July 12, 1944, Vice President Roosevelt died of a heart attack. The Republicans nominated Secretary of State Morgan Larson for Vice President. Wherry won reelection against the Democratic nominee, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York. In 1945, World War II ended when President Wherry ordered atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima, Kyoto and Nagasaki which forced the Japanese to surrender. With the country switching to a peacetime economy, the recession began in 1946 and it hurt the Republicans in the midterm elections. In 1948, the Republicans nominated General Douglas MacArthur for President and Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire for Vice President. The country tired of 16 years of Republican Presidents and MacArthur’s speeches about using atomic bombs against the Chinese and Russians turned off voters.

35. Died in office and succeeded by his Vice President Earl Warren.

36. President Warren was assassinated in Los Angeles. He traveled to California to raise money for the Republicans and to mend fences between its conservative and progressive wings. With the Vice Presidency vacant, Speaker of the House Charles Halleck became President and he announced that he would not run for the office in 1964.

38. First Roman Catholic President. Boggs died when Air Force One crashed over the Boston Harbor. He was on his way to visit Senator John F. Kennedy. When Vice President Reagan moved up to the Presidency, he selected Kennedy for Vice President.

39. President Reagan was able to win the Vietnam War with honor and push tax cuts which grew the economy. He won a landslide 49 state victory over Senator George McGovern (R-SD) in 1972. Vice President Kennedy became the frontrunner for the nomination in 1976 but his struggles with Addison’s disease resulted in a stroke in 1975 which resulted in his death that year.

41. Bobby Kennedy was elected to his brother’s Senate seat in 1970 and served there until his election as President in 1984. Bobby was also a diabetic and suffered a fatal heart attack in 1990.

42. President Carter won high praise for handling the Persian Gulf War that freed Kuwait and ended the regime of Saddam Hussein. His popularity ratings peaked at 86 percent by 1991. But insurgencies against American troops in Iraq would lead to his defeat to Bill Bradley who promises to bring the troops home. His running mate was former Attorney General and Senator Bill Clinton (R-IL).

44. Attorney General in the Kennedy and Carter administrations and Governor of New York, Giuliani won the Democratic nomination in 2000 and made history with his choice of a female running mate, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (D-TX). Giuliani’s first term was marked by the terrorist destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. A coalition of US, Canadian, British, French and ANZAC troops invaded Afghanistan, removed the Taliban from power and put al-Qaeda out of business. Osama bin Laden was killed in a gun battle in Tora Bora. Taliban leader Muhammad Omar and the high ranking al-Qaeda leadership were captured and held at Guantanamo Bay. After defeating Governor Howard Dean (R-VT) in a 48 state landslide in 2004, Giuliani set his sights on Iran and started a war when President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced his country tested its nuclear weapons. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and France refused to go to war unless Iran struck first. But the British stuck with the US and started a war with Iran. Victory was declared after the nuclear reactor in Hormuz was struck. The unpopularity of the war and President Giuliani’s lack of action during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 resulted in a Republican rout in the 2006 elections. Ray Nagin, former New Orleans mayor and first Republican Senator from Louisiana since Reconstruction, swept the Super Tuesday primaries in the south and clinched the nomination. With his running mate, Governor Kathleen Sebelius (R-KS), Nagin defeated Vice President Hutchison to become the nation’s first African-American President.
