Would the US really want northern Mexico? I may understand Baja, but would all of these non English speakers really make life easier?

Before 1918? How about a more sucessful Minoan empire. . . No Theseus POD!

I really don't think anyone would want a third termer president. This would definately help out Bush 1. The only real question is, would he serve out the remainder of Reagan's term and then another, or go on for almost 10 years? Would he even try? With the changes presented, there's no real...

So. . . Taft is kept as VP, FDR still kicks the bucket, and Wallace delays launching nukes. An attempted land invasion in Japan leads to massive loss of life, and the war begins to lose popularity. Eventually a nuke is dropped, but it recieves more scrutiny. Due to the changes, generals are...

From what I can tell. . . .typically folks over exagerate how liberal Rockefeller was. Yah, yah, he ain't Goldwater or Reagan, but he is still both right of center and fits well into the recent history of the Republican Party. Oddly Rockefeller barily quallifies as a 'Rockefeller' Republican

yah know, a more competitive vice presidential candidate might give Perot the edge.

POD: Dewey is somewhat more outspoken and slightly more liberal, and much more eloquent. In the hard fought Republican convention, he convinces the delegates to name him vice presidential candidate to Wendell Wilkie. This is a huge step for him because he was formerly just a New York...

So, I know that Phsychologically this might work, but what if Gingrich rises to power as per OTL with his good old contract, and remains as tough and adament as OTL, BUT doesn't have problems with fidelity and personal gain scandals?
