Talk:United States Presidential Election, 1940 (The War That Came Early)

So we actually can't say for sure who the VP is. We know there is one, obviously. HT addresses "Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker", etc. during his speech asking for a war declaration.

(The Speaker is unnamed, too, but c'mon, the Dems still have the majority, so it has to be Rayburn.)

The conditions which saw Garner left out in OTL are still in place here: Garner didn't think FDR should run again, and had grown less enamored with the New Deal as time went on. Now, it needn't have been Wallace who replaced him, but since HT doesn't give us any other option at the moment, he works as a place holder as well as anyone else.

Given HT's prediliction for doing unusual things with the POTUS and the fact that HT's killed Churchill off in this series so far, the identity of the VP may become very important soon enough. TR 16:19, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
