I would say Nixon chose someone more conservative b/c the base was moving away from him and towards someone like Ashbrook.

Yeah. In real life, Hatfield was seen as a possible Vice-Presidential pick for Nixon. While it would've been interesting to see a Hatfield Presidency, I think that after one term, either Nixon would kick Hatfield off the ticket, or he'd leave anyway out of disgust. In his place, Nixon chose the Conservative Secretary Treasury John Connally.

37. George Wallace
In an incredibly tight election caused by Conservatives uniting behind Wallace rather than behind Eugene McCarthy or George Romney, Wallace was able to win, thus ushering in a new political party. His term was makred by an escalation and eventual victory in Vietnam and in Populist-Conservative economic and social policies.

38. Nelson Rockefeller
The 1968 Vice-Presidential nominee and the standard bearer of the GOP's Liberal wing, Rockefeller easily locked up the Republican nomination with several Conservatives having fled to Wallace's re-election campaign. Rockefeller's term started out rough with rising oil prices and stagflation, and got worse when he was shot during a visit to California.

39. Robert Finch
Finch had served as California's Lieutenant Governor for two years before Governor Ronald Reagan resigned to work as Secretary of Defense for Wallace. Finch by the time he became President had served two years as Lieutenant Governor, four as Governor, and over two as Vice-President. In 1976 he was easily re-elected because of the sympathy vote. However, he had a very bad second term with a worseninig economy and foreign crises he wasn't qualified to handle.

40. Mike Gravel
A two term Democratic Senator from Alaska who was known for his rather strange political positions, Gravel emerged as the frontrunner in a crowded field, winning New Hampshire by campaigning on his economic Libertarianism. From there he won much of the West and pieces of the North-East to give him the nomination. He chose fellow Westerner Gary Hart as his running mate.
During Gravel's two terms, the economy recovered thanks in large part to his economic recovery plan which involved tax cuts and economic stimulus. Despite personal scandal involving himself, as well as scandal involving his Vice-President, Gravel would go down in history as one of the better Presidents of the era.

41.Jesse Helms
A staunch Conservative who promised a return to the "Wallace Era", Helms was able to get enough votes to take the election to the House where he surprisingly won, working with a coalition of Conservatives in both the Republican and American Independent parties. In the Senate, however, the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee won out.
Helms' two terms were marked with his greatest accomplishment: the defeat of the Soviet Union. This was accomplished by ramping up military spendin to 1972 levels and ushering a military build up. During the Rockefeller-Finch-Gravel years, detente and negotiation had become the mantras, thus allowing the Soviet Union to survive. However, by 1995, the "Evil Empire" had been destroyed. Despite many people in more than one party accusing Helms of racism, he left office with a 53% approval rating.

42. Winthrop Paul Rockefeller
The son of Nelson Rockefeller's brother, Winthrop Rockefeller who was Governor of Arkansas for six years and Secretary of Agriculture for less than one, Winthrop Paul Rockefeller had by 1996 served for a short time as assistant Secretary of Agriculture, and Governor of Arkansas for four years. Having the name Rockefeller helped when he decided to enter the Republican primaries, and he won the Presidency as well. However, two years after winning re-election, the cancer that had killed his father in 1973 took his life as well.

43. William Weld
Much more economically Conservative than his predecessor, Weld worked on creating a blanced budget and basically working to ease out several of the programs that Winthrop had initiated. Before being Vice-President, Weld has been Governor of Massachusetts for six years and has worked as a federal prosecutor during the eighties. When 2005 rolled around, despite a good economy, he failed to win re-election.

44. Howard Dean
A Progressive with some very slight Libertarian leanings, Dean's campaign was reminiscient of Mike Gravel's in 1980. That, along with Gravel's endorsement, caused a number of Democrats to flock towards his campaign.
In office, he spent a lot of time working on the expansion of universal healthcare, which had first been passed by President Gravel.
Despite Dean's best intentions, the economy was in decline by 2006, and, although there was no financial crisis, there was a recession, and that was enough to cause him to lose.

45. Zell Miller
Formerly a Conservative Democrat, Miller began to consider joining the American Patriots during the 1980's when President Gravel was working on a nuclear freeze and universal healthcare. In 1990 he ran for and won Georgeia's Governorship as an American Independent, and was re-elected in 1994. During the 2000's he served as a Senator from his state, and in 2008 he was elected President.
Miller's tenure so far has been marked by attempts at de-regulation, social Conservatism, and tax cuts in order to alleviate the recession, though results have been mixed.

2000-Dan Quayle/John McCain
2004-Dan Quayle/John McCain
2008-Evan Bayh/Mark Warner

1989-1997-George HW Bush
President Bush was reelected in a narrow election over Al Gore and Ross Perot in 1992. His second term saw a small revival in the economy, though the GOP only had brief domination of Congress (1992-1994).

1997-1999-William Clinton
William "Bill" Clinton first ran for the Democratic nomination, narrowly losing it to Al Gore in 1992. His comeback came in 1996, when he beat Al Gore, and Douglas Wilder in the primaries, and later, Newt Gingrich in the general. He was impeached after lying about a affair while in office, as well a corrupt dealings in real estate while he was Governor of Arkansas. This was made worse by a Republican comeback in the 1998 midterm election.

1999-2001-Tom Harkin
Vice President Tom Harkin took over after Clinton was removed from office. His nomination of Al Gore as Vice President was rejected, and he lost reelection in a landslide to former VP Dan Quayle.

2001-2009-Dan Quayle
Dan Quayle did not seek the Presidency in 1996, and made a comeback in 2000, after the Clinton impeachment. Defeating MLB commissioner George W Bush, Senator John McCain, and Senator Elizabeth Dole in a close primary, and President Harkin in a landslide. His first term saw the 9/11 attacks and invasion of Afghanistan, as well as the bombing of Iraq in 2002. He was narrowly reelected over Howard Dean, who accused him of preparing to invade Iraq. His popularity dropped massively in the 2007-2009 financial depression.

2009-Present-Evan Bayh
In 2008, Senator Evan Bayh came from the bottom to win the Democratic nomination, defeating Senator Hillary Clinton, Governor Barrack Obama, Senator John Kennedy Jr, and Senator Nancy Pelosi in a close primary. He easily defeated VP John McCain in the general. His popularity remains at a steady 52%, and it seems likely he will be reelected in 2012.

34. Alben W Barkley (D-KT)/A Victor Donahey (D-OH) 1941-1943

The Great Depression was worse than anyone could imagine. By 1943, America was on its knees with riots by workers and the unemployed in nearly every major city. In an especially bloody riot in Washington DC, protestors, trampling the police and secret service, rushed the Whitehouse. That night, Washington DC went up in flames and President Barkley was killed in the bloodbath. America had collapsed. In its place rose four separate states. From 1943 they had begun building on the collapsed America, and by 1948, they were completely formed.

Does that term come from the show "the West Wing" because there was another timeline called "the West Wing" that had elections take place on what previously would have been the mid-terms. So is that what happened on the show?

Notes:

35. Richard Nixon wins a close victory over John Kennedy and stays in office for two terms.  During his term the US pulls out of Vietnam, Civil Rights Act of 1963 is passed and a National Healthcare bill is passed.  However a bad economy and Republican fatigue helps Robert Kennedy get elected in 1969.
36. Robert Kennedy, this nation's first Catholic president, presides over economic downturn and busing riots.  He vocally opposes the Nyman v. Joe ruling in the US Supreme Court that would eventually lead to abortion on demand.  He would be assassinated on November 11th, 1971 by a white supremacists named David Duke.
37. Ronald Reagan, a former actor turned Senator turned Vice President turned President in the wake of Kennedy's assassination.  Reagan would win a landslide election in 1972 running off of sympathy votes for Kennedy.  However, unlike previous Democratic administrations and the Nixon administration the Reagan administration would take a turn to the right on the economy by promoting an economic agenda of drastic reductions in military spending and arts funding, reductions of Union power, income tax reduction, and airline deregulation.  He would not seek re-election in 1976.
39. Fred Harris, Reagan's VP and the nation's 39th president, would be elected president running on a progressive agenda.  He would be assassinated by John Hinckley Jr. on March 30th, 1981.  His VP Edward Kennedy, younger brother of the late Robert Kennedy, would succeed him as president.
40. Edward Kennedy, the last of Joe Kennedy's boys, would become President after President Fred Harris is killed by John Hinckley's bullet.  Many expected him to continue the Harris agenda, however he ended up governing as a fiscal conservative and a social libertarian.  Under Kennedy's presidency the Equal Pay Act was passed along with the Loving Amendment passed (which got the government out of the realm of determining relationships).
41. Ray Hutchison, a libertarian Republican, would become president after Kennedy.  His tenure in office would ironically be most like his Democratic successor, except that Hutchison would be more observant of federalism on matters such as the death penalty and reproductive issues.
42. Hillary Rodham Moynihan, wife of former New York Senator Daniel P. Moynihan, becomes the nation's first female president.  Unlike her predecessor Kennedy she would govern as an economic progressive but a foreign policy hawk.
43. Jonathan T. Douschewaffle would be the Republican President from 2001-2009.  He was all around a giant douche.  In fact everybody was starting to think the Democrats and Republicans were just huge douches and were left with no choice but to vote.....
44. Liberal.  Started in the mid 1980's the Liberal Party was based around a non-interventionist foreign policy, libertarian social agenda, and free market economics.  John M. Osbourne, the American born son of immigrants from Birmingham, England, and former US Senator of New Hampshire, would win in a landslide as disillusioned America voted against the Democratic and Republican tickets.  His Vice President, Randall W. Rhoads, Junior Senator from California, is often seen playing classical guitar around the White House whenever the President and his staff take a break.

I know a bit hackish but hey a man can dream right?

Awesome list, Mech. But why does everyone of your lists end with a yellow party, most likely nmaed Liberal or Liberty?

Hoping that people stop buying two party bullsh**t.
Plus listing those two as either Democratic or Republican would have been hawkish.
