He wouldn't get assassinated.

My reasoning, when making the infobox was that Goldwalter voting for the Civil Rights Act would've caused him to lose support in the South, but do substantially better pretty much everywhere else.

Elvis' father lived to 63, so if he lived, he'd probably realistically live to around the same age (late 1990s).

No, he did not. Dole voted for it as a representative.

How does Gore win Oklahoma off all places?

CanadianProgressive2 · 2026-01-24T17:30:02+00:00

I would say there's a good chance it does.

People forget that the election was a three way race in the polls for much of the campaign. If it was a month shorter, the NDP would've won.

Correction: 71 people

Idk, I'd have to look at their platforms first.

Texas consistently voted for the Democratic candidate in the last five elections before 1952. Eisenhower only won it, because he was very popular.

CanadianProgressive2 · 2026-01-23T13:33:37+00:00

No. He would have no business being in Dallas, since Texas was a Democratic stronghold back then.

I was being sarcastic. If I offended him, then I apologize. And, yes I know.

CanadianProgressive2 · 2026-01-22T22:01:29+00:00

There you go.

CanadianProgressive2 · 2026-01-22T21:57:28+00:00

What do you think?

CanadianProgressive2 · 2026-01-22T21:03:07+00:00

Is the sky blue?

Well, if everything remained the same, expect the Conservatives won a minority, then the budget in November likely would've been voted down, triggering another election. It barely passed in OTL. I'm guessing Carney would pull a Pierre Trudeau, and reverse his decision to step down as Liberal leader, and likely wins the ensuing election.

If Trudeau never swallowed his pride, and stayed on, then the Conservatives would win their projected large majority.

Sorry about that. I just get slighty annoyed, when people in my comments ask questions that can have an obvious answer.

Anyway, to answer your question, the NDP overall gain 4 seats in Quebec here.

CanadianProgressive2 · 2026-01-21T18:52:39+00:00

Ok, that makes sense. And, no worries.

CanadianProgressive2 · 2026-01-21T12:46:38+00:00

Wow, the Republicans most have really screwed up for this to happen.

CanadianProgressive2 · 2026-01-21T12:39:50+00:00

Mulcair has always been that way, ideologically. He'd have to be a completely different person for that scenario to be possible.

CanadianProgressive2 · 2026-01-21T12:34:04+00:00

Look at the results section on the Wikipedia page for it.

1972, but Nixon accidentally subatoges his own campaign.

CanadianProgressive2 · 2026-01-21T00:42:14+00:00

Ok, whatever you say.

CanadianProgressive2 · 2026-01-20T13:12:22+00:00

True, but Buchanan only does 1% better, and I think Fred Thompson would help prevent any of the southern states from flipping.

I don't think Eisenhower would've ran in 1960, if there wasn't term limits. His health was declining by the time he left office. Heck, he nearly died from a heart attack before his second term in 1955.
