Obama would've definitely won '08, but I think chances are good we'd have a Republican President now too. As appealing as his message of hope and change was at the time, I think hindsight shows his lack of executive experience would've doomed him to one term. Hillary had a tough enough time...

Blondi becomes a key witness at the Nuremberg trials, obviously. He gives particularly damning testimony of how Goering always forgot to take him for walks whenever Hitler was away.
Three films from a world where Hitler was deluded enough to attempt the unmentionable sea mammal.

Possible PODs:

Loving this timeline so far. Good to see Lieberman out and love the guy who made himself chairman of the Connecticut for Lieberman party. Also, curious to see how the tie plays out.
