    All the Way to Washington: Howard Dean and the Fight to Take Back America

    There's really nothing like a chapter with thirty-three footnotes. Glad Dean didn't go with the John Q plan - that seems like it would have been disastrous once he got to the general election and had to clarify he did not, in fact, support taking hostages as a route to healthcare reform...

    All the Way to Washington: Howard Dean and the Fight to Take Back America

    I'm very excited to see where this goes!

    Different reference to the same poem - it's a setting I'm in the process of working on in my test thread and a down-but-not-out Shared Worlds AMA.

    Map Thread XXII

    A couple of major differences: The existence of the Ethnic White and Scots-Irish categories as separate categories, which alludes to some of the ways TTL's United States understands (read: intentionally misunderstands and obscures) race. The lack of Hispanic/Latino as a top-level category, for...

    TLIAW: Camelot Lost

    I'll comment more on the substance later, but I think the way this handles the planning - not solid enough to lock anyone into things, but with enough forward guidance to set things up to pay off later - is very well done.

    TLIAW: Camelot Lost

    A bunch of interesting stuff here that either doesn't get explored in Alternate History or doesn't get a thorough look - Kuchel himself shows up in lists now and again but this is the first time I've seen him be looked at in any sort of organized way. Same with a Soviet moon landing - comes up...

    What If alternatehistory.com Never Existed?

    It's a well-known open secret on the site that, during the 2012 presidential race, Newt Gingrich - a noted alternate history author himself - was a lurker here. (His alleged username has been leaked, I believe, but I do not know it.) Clearly, the reason for his failure in that campaign - for...

    Well, she was born in Irving - she says she grew up in "Dallas and Austin", but it's very common for suburban Texans to just say they're from the main city of their metro area.

    This sounds more insulting that I mean it to be, but I would be hard-pressed to describe her in more detail than “standard-issue 2018-intake Democrat”.

    Staunch progressive, solid legislative record (as far as one can tell for a Democrat in the Texas Legislature), unusually personally dedicated, represents an affluent suburban blue-trending swing district. That’s about it - she seems competent and good at media but there’s not that much to grab...

    Nothing For Which to Apologize: Ambition and Loathing in the New South

    Yes - at the same time, it does look from Allan Nevins' speech like the United States is substantially more institutionally xenophobic (or, I suppose, possibly just way more antisemitic).

    Alternate Electoral Maps III

    Seabury and Walsh made a deal with the Socialist Party to resign in order to end the 1931 General Strike; under the terms of the 1926 Presidential Succession Act, a vacancy in the presidency automatically triggered a special election. Seabury agreed to resign in part because of his fear that...

    What It Took: A TLIAW by Enigma and Vidal

    Grasso! Byrd! Clements! Van De Kamp! So many great candidates who show up in lists sometimes but nevertheless never seem to get the attention they deserve. Really love, too, how the salience of different policy options is different - there was plenty of legislation on immigration in the OTL...
