RFK/JFKfan 11 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Here's a few from me.... U.S. Senate Election in Massachusetts, 1994 I think this would be a good scenario for a couple of reasons. 1. This was Ted Kennedy's toughest re-election fight of his career. 2. His opponent is currently one of the Republican presidential frontrunners. U.S. Presidential Election, 1948 An obvious choice, I suppose. Arguably the greatest upset in American electoral history, and the battles for the party nominations were pretty epic too. Plus, there were two relatively strong third-party candidates. U.K. General Election, 1945 Quite possibly the most important UK general election of the 20th century. Led to the creation of the welfare state soon afterwards. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alfonzo 117 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I haven't seen any Presidential 2000 scenarios. Or 1992 for that matter. I'd also really like to see more Australian scenarios. NSW 2011, Vic 2010, Qld 2012, etc. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zacoftheaxes 2 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 1952 US Presidential Election: Eisenhower was the main reason the Republicans won, and Truman almost ran for a third term but failed. Stassen was considered serious. Very interesting election year. 1912 US Presidential Election: Wilson, Taft, Roosevelt. And that's not including the primary on Wilson's side. 1920 US Presidential Election: Primary decided in a smoke filled room. A good year for Republicans, but so are a lot of the scenarios.
