The Campaign Trail generator is fairly good. Lets you replay the 1896, 1968,2000, and 2012 elections. http://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/ Here's some results 2000: played as Bush with Powell as a running mate, ran fully to the center and refused to attack Gore, promised mild tax cuts on the middle class, praised Clinton's actions in Serbia, ran on a platform of moderation and working across-the-aisle. Won a fairly large lead of 352 EV's.  1968: Ran a Humphrey/Kennedy anti-war ticket, got 372 EV's. I'm not sure if this can be considered "clean" seeing as I got a big boost at the end from exposing Nixon's sabotage of Vietnamese peace talks.  Venomous posted:What if Ford won in 1976 and Callaghan called an election in 1978, before the Winter of Discontent? Whatever party won in '76 was not going to win the White House in 1980. Also, Ford would be stuck dealing with a Democratic controlled Congress. Then again Carter -even with a Democratic Congress- managed to make his own party hate him.

GWBBQ posted:Avoiding to Khrushchev's son, Kennedy had privately discussed his concerns over the cost of the Apollo program and proposed a joint US-Soviet moon landing, and Khrushchev's intention to accept the offer was cut short by Kennedy's assassination. That would be fairly difficult to happen for a very simple reason: the first step. The airlock of a spacecraft would have to be large enough for both astro/cosmonauts to step out at the same time, because neither country is going to want to be the second person on the moon. Then there's also the interesting idea that the USSR might choose a woman cosmonaut; imagine an American man and Soviet woman, or American woman and Soviet man being the first on the moon. I imagine either would make huge butterflies socially.
