Should be fixed now. Fucking website deletes images for no reason occasionally.
What's the lore? Also I feel like a General would've won the NOVA suburbs, feel like the contractors would've like him
Bush picks Danforth as his VP in 2001. Bush dies during 9/11 or equivalent. Danforth selects Powell by playing on the General's patriotism. Danforth opts against running and the GOP establishment practically begs Powell to run, which he does. Powell serves two terms.What's the lore?

Hubert Horatio Humphrey Jr. (May 27, 1911 – January 2, 1979) was an American pharmacist. politician and pianist who worked in the Twin Cities Music Scene for decades. He was Mayor of Minneapolis in the 1940s and was crucial in founding the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party. In 1948 he gave a well received speech at the Democratic National Convention and seemed poised for a strong Senate run, only to suddenly depart.Hubert Horatio Humphrey Jr. (May 27, 1911 – January 3, 1978) was an American pharmacist. politician and minister who served as the Methodist Bishop of Minnesota for decades. He was Mayor of Minneapolis in the 1940s and was crucial in founding the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party. In 1948 he gave a well received speech at the Democratic National Convention and seemed poised for a strong Senate run, only to suddenly depart in favor of joining the Methodist Clergy.
Progressing quickly through seminary, Humphrey’s political skill, connections, and preaching ability quickly made him a fixture of the Twin Cities Methodist community. By 1958 he was made Bishop of the Minnesota Episcopal Area by the General Conference. Humphrey would face backlash for his quick rise, as well as his unapologetically liberal approach to the ministry.
Humphrey participated in civil rights marches both in Minnesota and the South, and was a crucial figure in rallying interdenominational clerical support for such actions. In Washington he earned the nicknames of “God’s Lobbyist” and “The Happy Crusader,” the although personal writings revealed a deeper melancholy. In 1976, Humphrey co-founded the Coalition for Christian Justice with Martin Luther King Jr. Humphrey died in 1978 and remains a major influence on Progressive Christianity in the United States.

Another great AH HHH post! Quick question though, was Douglas the incumbent president in '69? Wouldn't he be a little old? I mean he was considered for VP by FDR and Truman in '44 and '48.In 1969 he played for President William Douglas at the White House
He would only have been 71 at that point and lived a further ten years OTL, a bit old for the time but perfectly reasonable for an elder statesmanAnother great AH HHH post!

Interesting stuff man. Is it possible for you to make a world map?The 1866 Steuben gubernatorial election was the second gubernatorial election held in the American state of Steuben and the first to be held in peacetime. Incumbent Governor Edward Degener chose not to run for reelection, saying that by securing the state's independence from Texas, he had achieved his goals as governor. Since Steuben's foundation in 1862, its population had been swelled by the arrival of German-speaking migrants form other states and from abroad. Many of them were left-leaning Forty-eighters and they advocated for a socialist course for the new state. The dominant Republican Party was divided between a socialist faction and a more moderate mainstream. Neither side was willing to compromise and so the party split ahead of the 1866 election.
The mainstream of the party gathered in the state capital of San Antonio and nominated attorney Daniel Cleveland as their candidate. This faction had support from the Anglo-American, Texan, and German communities within the state. The largely-German socialist Republicans met in New Braunfels. There, they chose avowed Marxist Brigadier General Joseph Weydemeyer to lead their ticket. Weydemeyer, "the Red Butcher of the Brazos" was a newcomer to Steuben, having been a soldier in the Prussian army and friend of Karl Marx in Germany before emigrating to America in the wake of the failed German Revolution. Weydemeyer volunteered in Steuben's militia and rose through the ranks because of his prior military experience. His nickname came in the last months of the Southern Revolt when Weydemeyer openly incited slaves to revolt along the Brazos River and organized them into units that marched into battle carrying red banners. Weydemeyer was a polarizing figure, hated by anyone that had any sympathies with the Confederacy while being loved by Marxists. His backers hoped that his military record would be popular enough to give the socialists control of the state government. The remnants of the Democratic Party in Steuben nominated Thomas Hinds Duggan. Duggan had served in the Confederate Army and his campaign represented the interests of Confederate veterans and former slaveowners.
From the start of the campaign, it was clear the Democrats had no chance of winning so the real contest was between the two rival Republican factions. One of the principal issues of the campaign was the model for settlement of the plains. Since his arrival in the United States, Weydemeyer had been critical of westward expansion. He believed that in giving land to homesteaders, the United States was strengthening the capitalist class. Weydemeyer argued that, instead of granting lands to individuals for private farms, western land should be kept and farmed in common. In his campaign, Weydemeyer proposed that unsettled lands in the western part of the state should be organized into counties operating with no private land ownership and communal farmlands. In addition, he called for railroads in the state to be nationalized. Cleveland, on the other hand, ran as a fairly standard Republican and attacked Weydemeyer as a dangerous radical. Despite his personal popularity, Weydemeyer's Marxist rhetoric turned farmers against him as Cleveland surrogates spread rumors that Weydemeyer would engage in a campaign of land confiscation.
Ultimately, Cleveland won the election by nearly 3,500 votes and a margin of 20%. Weydemeyer retired from campaigning in the aftermath of his defeat, though his campaign would become legendary in Steuben's history. Many of the left-leaning politicians prominent in the later part of the 19th century regarded it as an inspiration and so, despite losing election, Weydemeyer actually remains more well-known than Cleveland in modern-day Steuben.

Any idea how a contignent election in 2009 would go in the House of Representatives (between Lieberman, Moore, and Ventura) or the Senate (either between Goode and Pawlenty or Goode and Gravel)?I don’t have specifics but I can offer some insight for 2008:
Moore was within 5% of winning the following states:
Arkansas, Louisiana, South Carolina, North Dakota, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee
And within 10% in the following states:
Mississippi, North Carolina, Missouri, Iowa, Montana, Alaska
Moore lost by 12% in Georgia and by 14% in Utah and Texas.
Ventura came within 5% in the following states:
New Hampshire, Maine, Oregon
Ventura came within 10% in the following states:
Washington, Illinois, Alaska
Ventura lost California by 14% , Wisconsin and Michigan by 11% and Massachusetts by 12%.
Besides the above, Ventura beat Moore for second place in DC, New York , Colorado, New Mexico and most of New England and the Midwest while Moore placed second in Arizona, most of the south and Great Plains.
I'm hoping to do that eventually but I don't have the entire world planned out and I don't want to create something just yet that will likely have to be edited many times.Interesting stuff man. Is it possible for you to make a world map?
I think it's fair to say Lieberman and Pawlenty would be the likely winners of a contingent election. Moore would be the biggest competition but given the National Union Party is still dominant in Congress the coalition of NUP-supporting Dems and Reps probably would rally behind Lieberman easily. Ventura probably couldn't win any states except maybe Vermont in a House vote. Ditto in the Senate-Goode might get some hard right Republicans and maybe a few left-wing Dems abstain but Pawlenty easily would be preferred by the Senate. .Any idea how a contignent election in 2009 would go in the House of Representatives (between Lieberman, Moore, and Ventura) or the Senate (either between Goode and Pawlenty or Goode and Gravel)?
Well, that sucks (not that Moore would be any better but was hoping Ventura would get more support from former Barbara Lee supporters in the House).I think it's fair to say Lieberman and Pawlenty would be the likely winners of a contingent election.

The problem is Lee supporters in the House would be concentrated in NUP-dominated Congressional delegations-National Union-backing Rs and moderate Dems combined would outnumber progressive Democrats in states like California or New York and even the likes of Minnesota or Wisconsin. Even some progressive Democrats in red states like Mississippi or Texas might back Lieberman in order to make sure Moore goes down. I could see Hawaii's delegation being deadlocked but I am not sure who is representing Hawaii in the House ITTL.Well, that sucks (not that Moore would be any better but was hoping Ventura would get more support from former Barbara Lee supporters in the House).
