46. Bob Kerrey (D-NS) 1993-1997 ***

*** Acting President for two days (January, 18 - 20 1997)

I don't like to nitpick, but Kerrey would officially be President after the death of President Tsongas, not simply an Acting President.

Also, since I'm already nitpicking, the two-letter abbreviation for Nebraska is NE, not NS.  Wink

I wouldn't know where to start, but does anyone interested in making a list based on George W. Bush winning his 1978 congressional bid against Kent Hance?

« Edited: February 09, 2010, 11:00:37 PM by George W. Hobbes »

POD: In a close race, George W. Bush is elected to Congress in 1978.  A hard-drinking, hard-partying member of the House, he gets along famously with Congressman Charlie Wilson, and puts forward enough bad press clippings to prevent his father from defeating Ronald Reagan in the Iowa caucuses.

Sans a challenger, Reagan doesn't shake up his campaign team and ultimately runs a more disorganized campaign.  He picks Jack Kemp of New York as his running mate, and narrowly wins the election, garnering 48% of the vote.

40. Ronald Reagan/Jack Kemp (R) 1981

President Reagan was assassinated by John Hinckley, Jr.  Vice President Kemp was sworn in as the 41st POTUS.

41. Jack Kemp/Bob Dole (R) 1981-1989

Riding on a wave of sympathy after President Reagan's death, Kemp engineered an even more aggressive tax cut than in OTL, as well as more domestic spending cuts than OTL.  This ginned up the Democratic left-wing base, and led to a lessening in prestige of more moderate Democrats, such as Congressman Al Gore.  

In 1984, California Governor Jerry Brown would win the Democratic nomination, selecting Gary Hart as his running mate.  Kemp defeated Brown in a narrow election, further illustrating the divided Blue/Red paradigm of the 1980's.


42. Gary Hart/Spark Matsunaga (D) 1989-1993

Senator Gary Hart emerged as the Democratic front-runner after the market collapse of 1987.  He blamed "Kempian" (a take-off on "Keynesian") economics for the country's woes and advocates a return to large public-works projects and aggressive expansion of some of President Kemp's anti-poverty measures (such as a doubling of the Earned Income Tax Credit).

Hart's selection of Matsunaga for VP was somewhat controversial given the Senator's strident support for Japanese reparations for internment.  The Republican ticket of Bob Dole and Lynn Mitchell did not approve ads cut by Lee Atwater and Pat Buchanan which would have taken advantage of Matsunaga's "otherness".

Vice President Matsunaga died in office in 1990 and was replaced with California Governor Tom Bradley.

In office, President Hart presided over the dissolution of the Soviet Empire and aggressively flooded Eastern Europe with financial assistance.  He also worked with Senators Sam Nunn and Richard Lugar on an aggressive anti-nuclear program designed to keep old Russian weapons out of the hands of terrorists.  Domestically, Hart's new WPA was passed into law but largely considered a bureaucratic boondoggle and was (along with stagnant economic growth) responsible for his defeat in 1992.


43. Dick Cheney/John Heinz (R) 1993-2001

Jokingly referred to as "a couple of Dicks" by Democrats and the press, House Minority Leader Dick Cheney won the GOP nomination in 1992 by presenting himself as a calm, rational, intellectual counterweight to the brainy Hart.  Cheney's platform of an aggressive foreign policy was counter to many in the Republican caucus, particularly Texas Senator (and now sober) George W. Bush, who advocated a "peace dividend" after the end of the Cold War.  

However, the big issue in 1992 was the deficit, and the deficit hawk Cheney had strong credentials against President Hart's domestic programs and was also acceptable to the Kemp/supply-side wing of the party.  

As President, Cheney aggressively sought to end the sanctions against Iran, particularly in light of Iraq's successful invasion of Kuwait in 1990.  The Administration worked to create a scenario where both the Saudis and the Iranians could check Saddam Hussein, but the Iraq issue was a serious tinderbox.  Ultimately, no wars occurred against Saddam under Cheney's watch, but he considered Iraq the biggest threat to world stability by the time he left office in 2001.

Domestically, President Cheney advocated for and signed an immigration amnesty, even working with old foe Senator Bush to get the bill passed, as well as a large corporate tax cut, which Republicans maintained ended the recession of 1991-1994.

Cheney and VP Heinz had a rather strained relationship, mostly due to gossiping about the President by Heinz's odd wife, Teresa.


44. Ben Nighthorse Campbell/John Kerry (D) 2001-2009

The "Dark Nighthorse" took advantage of a divided Democratic primary in 2000, and advocated a "retreat from Carter-Hartism" as the key to successfully returning Democrats to power.  Although President Campbell gave up his beloved ponytail and Bolo ties to win the nomination, he retained a "maverick-y" sense about him and charted a fiscally conservative course during his Administration, usually to the chagrin of his Establishment VP, former Hart White House Chief of Staff John Kerry (who, incidentally, was a rare bachelor VP).

In 2003, Campbell signed welfare reform into law and cemented an era of cooperation with an arms deal to Iranian President Khatami, who had worked with student leaders in July of 1999 to toss out the more reactionary elements of the Council of Guardians.  In response to the new accord between Washington and Tehran, Iraq began a new clandestine nuclear program and begin funding anti-American terrorist groups, including the little known al Qaida, whose spectacular attempt to hijack ten planes and hit both American coasts had been foiled by the CIA in February 2001.

In 2004, Campbell/Kerry was re-elected against a GOP ticket of Cheney acolyte John McCain and California Congressman Pete Wilson.  

In President Campbell's second term, he created a bipartisan commission to study Social Security and attempted to pass a universal health care bill, although this effort failed.  Later, in 2007, a bill to extend the life of Social Security by twenty years through a series of benefit cuts and tax hikes was shepherded through Congress.


45. John Kerry/Bob Graham (D) 2009-Present

On inauguration day 2009, Iraq test detonated a nuclear weapon.  On March 18th, al Qaida flew a hijacked jet into the Library Tower in Los Angeles.  Since those two fateful days, President Kerry has largely been focused on international issues, particularly his efforts to prevent the so-called Global War on Violent Extremism from going nuclear.  

Currently American forces occupy Sudan and Afghanistan, two nations used as staging grounds for al Qaida's leadership and training camps.  In his January 22, 2010 State of the Union address, Kerry indicated that the war may extend to other nations in the "nexus of hate", such as Somalia, Iraq, and Syria.  

Republicans, led by Minority Leader George W. Bush, are hesitant to expand the war against extremism into Iraq, given its nuclear capabilities.  Traditionally concerned with civil liberties, the Republicans (with the notable exception of former President Cheney) are very concerned about Kerry's use of CIA black sites to detain terrorists captured in the war, as well as allegations of possible torture at Camp X-Ray in Khartoum, Sudan.

Al Gore 2001-2005
John McCain 2005-13
Hillary Clinton 2013-17
John Hoeven 2017-2021
Andrew Cuomo  2021 and beyond

I think McCain would have lost reelection  in 2008.

Rocky Road

37. Nelson Rockefeller (R-NY): 1969-1972
38. Edmund Muskie (D-ME): 1972-1977
39. Richard Nixon (R-CA): 1977-1985
40. Thomas Foley (D-WA): 1985-1993
41. Mario Cuomo (D-NY): 1993-1997

42. John McCain (R-AZ): 1997-2002
43. Lamar Alexander (R-TN): 2002-2005

44. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA): 2005-Present

Notes:
37. Former Vice President Nixon was the favorite to win the GOP nomination until suffering an attack of phlebitis in June 1968, forcing him to end his campaign. Governor Ronald Reagan of California threw his hat in the ring but Rockefeller convinced nearly half of Nixon's delegates to switch their support. To satisfy Reagan's supporters, Rockefeller selected Senator Paul Fannin of Arizona as his running mate.

However, many rank-and-file Republicans could not stomach their party’s nomination of Rockefeller and took a second look at George Wallace’s independent candidacy. Wallace would win most of the Southern states and win Kentucky by just 300 votes (Rocky took Florida and Virginia). On Election Night, Rockefeller would win the most Electoral Votes but fall short of the 270 required to win election. The Wallace-Le May ticket finished in third place.

After three ballots in the House, Rockefeller was elected President on the third ballot as many liberal and Northern Democrats switched their support, including the New York and Massachusetts delegations. In the Senate, Fannin and Muskie were tied at 50 votes apiece. Hubert Humphrey cast the tie-breaking vote for his running mate Ed Muskie and he was elected Vice President.

The Rockefeller administration would be remembered for passing progressive legislation including The Clean Air Act, Environmental Protection Act, Earned Income Tax Credit and enforcement of Civil Rights and court-ordered busing. In foreign policy, Rockefeller was assisted by Secretary of State Richard Nixon, Secretary of Defense Henry “Scoop” Jackson and National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger. By Christmas 1971, the tide in Vietnam would turn against the Communists and their Vietcong allies. A napalm attack on Ho Chi Minh City would destroy over 90 percent of the city and wipe out North Vietnam’s Communist leadership. South Vietnam took advantage of the anarchy and rode their tanks into the city. Vietnam was finally reunited.

Unfortunately, tragedy would strike after this victory. During a January visit to Ottawa, an American named Arthur Bremer was able to get close to President Rockefeller as he got into his limousine and fired the shots that ended his life. On January 16, 1972 at 2:25PM, Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller was pronounced dead. He was 63. Bremer currently is serving a life sentence in a Canadian prison.

38. Now the new President, Muskie decided to keep most of Rockefeller’s cabinet except for Jackson who he nominated for Vice President. Muskie would make his historic visit to China which resulted in diplomatic recognition by 1976. Muskie defeated Governor Reagan in a landslide in November 1972. But rising inflation and foreign policy disasters such as the Khmer Rouge takeover of Cambodia doomed Muskie’s reelection chances. After resigning as Secretary of State after the 1972 elections, Nixon returned to California and wrote a best-selling memoir which kept his name in the public eye. His campaigning for Republican candidates in 1974 resulted in the GOP winning control of the House and elevating Gerald Ford to Speaker. Nixon easily defeated John Ashbrook and Meldrim Thompson in the Republican primaries and clinched the Republican nomination. He picked Senator John Tower of Texas as his running mate (helped to sweep the South).

39. Nixon would concentrate his Presidency on foreign policy. His crowning achievement was the Peace Treaty ending the state of war between Israel, Egypt and Jordan. He also used covert CIA support to crush the Iranian Revolution and convince the Shah to reform that country’s political system. Nixon also warned Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev not to conquer Afghanistan. Domestically, Nixon pushed for modest tax cuts and a health insurance plan featuring a limited public option, portability of insurance plans and allowing the insurance industry to conduct business across state lines; Senator Ted Kennedy’s support ensured Democratic votes. Vice President Tower would not run for President in 1984 for personal reasons (his alcoholism was worst kept secret).

40. The Democrats nominated Tom Foley, former Agriculture Secretary (1972-1975) and elected to Scoop Jackson’s former Senate seat in 1976 after Daniel Evans decided not to seek reelection. His running mate, Governor Mario Cuomo of New York, gave a memorable acceptance speech. The Democrats defeated the GOP ticket of John Anderson and George Bush in 1984. Under President Foley’s watch, covert Iranian backing of Kurdish and Shiite rebellions in Iraq resulted in the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and the return of democracy to that country (there was no Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s).

41. Leaving office with 70 percent approval ratings, Foley passed the baton to Cuomo and Vice President Bob Graham. Unfortunately, a lousy economy and Cuomo’s Hamlet on the Hudson approach to decision destroyed his political capital. Cuomo shocked the country when he decided not to seek reelection in 1996.

42. The stresses of fighting the War on Terror took a toll on President McCain and he died of a heart attack on the first anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

43. President Alexander continued McCain’s policies. But his decision to attack Syria (and removing Bashir Assad) despite not finding nuclear weapons in that country was unpopular, and would cost him the 2004 election.

44. First female and Jewish President of the United States. She ordered all troops removed from Syria and was praised for her handling of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Her push to reform the banking industry prevented a recession in 2008. She easily defeated John McKernan (Vice President, 2002-2005) that November.
