Wilson? No integration for the Armed Forces while HE'S president. It may take until 1920, or even until the 1930's. Regardless, though, we'll integrate when the onset of the 2nd World War necessitates it. Maybe we would have "switched sides" to fight for the Central Powers in the 2ndWW...

Bump! Did anything happen in North America during the War? What about South America? If not, I await the Far East update earlier.

Dwight Eisenhower and Barry Goldwater, because no matter how old they were, they'd take turns beating the crap out of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, and the like.

Aw, couldn't you give the US to the Mississippi, at least? And why do we have Newfoundland?

Ah, well, there's always baseball.

"Hair of the dog", or in this case, hair of the platypus.

Am I the only one on the board who saw the Poll title and thought: Hmmm...worst super power? "uncontrollable magnetism"? "Constantly broadcasts thoughts, 1 km radius"? "Can talk to ants?" "X-ray vision, only works on lead?"

I'm nearly 40 and this guy has been president for nearly half my life. I can understand the Democrats not wanting to run anyone against him, but can't the Republicans or the Greens find someone with appeal? Where's the opposition? It's like he's totally immune to scandal. Intern? Who cares...

Would rap/hip-hop even emerge, if Black America pours itself into punk? I'm not sure they would. If they do, they'll be much changed. White bands have NO aversion to black music, if it sounds good; see "rock n' roll" for details. In fact, I could see a lot of black musicians focusing their...

Given JFK and Jack Jr. vs. GHWB and GWB, I'd say it's a clear utopia, relatively.

Ohio would be easier for Hillary to pick up than Obama. She also has a chance in Arkansas; she's still well-regarded after her stint as First Lady there. Really, though, the sympathy vote would buoy the Dems. The putative assassins were hard right wing pseudo-Nazi meth heads; might that...

Should probably be in ASB. Under "What if the world really WAS as depicted by the speakers in the 2008 Republican Convention?"

"Then Came You" This is well before George's professional career began, so it's hard to see why someone would assassinate him, but it's your premise, so I'll run with it. I don't think George had even met Katherine by that time; they certainly weren't married, so she'd probably marry someone...

I'm not knowledgeable enough about this time period to offer any criticisms, so I'll just give my gut-level, n00bish opinion. More, more, more!

Hamilton was from NY, not from Mass.
