Lots of interesting figures, especially among LW and RW activists. Castro requires annexation of Cuba.

This was a hard pick for me. It was 50/50 between RFK and Gore Vidal. I picked Vidal mainly because I think I'll let an ally be happy and have RFK.

The class of '52 has a lot of exciting Republicans. George HW Bush, Rehnquist and Greenspan would be sure number one picks for me in any other year not having anyone really exciting. Went with Bush here.

He moved around a lot as a kid too yeah. Was also in a lot of foster homes and such. I just know there are parks, streets, and such named after him in the area. He also spoke here during the Civil Rights movement a few times paving the way for future generations. Perhaps not enough to justify it as an alternate state, I just know about it because from the area and such.
