On the Colorado River Compact, I think Arizona does end up getting a bigger share of the water, but not at California's expense. It's entirely possible Nevada will be cut out entirely of the compact, giving Arizona its share. It actually might benefit Arizona and California even more as there is...

When Nevada became a state present-day Clark County was not included. Nevada and Missouri are the only two states to have expanded their territory after achieving statehood.

OOC: I deleted the part about the Bush's. I didn't know that about W. Guess that whole line of thought is meaningless if only one of the brothers loses in 1994. We've established Kerry was elected in 2004, but we haven't said anything about him being Mario Cuomo's VP. Sorry, but the Democrats...

Indeed, a fight over healthcare would have hurt any incumbent in their first midterms.

I wonder if Clinton had won in 1992, would the Republican Revolution have happened in '94 instead of '98? Bush had decent coattails but not quite enough to take Congress. Would Newt Gingrich have been the Speaker? His brashness in the 1996 campaign really hurt Quayle. Boy, what a meteoric rise...

How about somewhere around Vancouver? Nice summers and skiing in the winter.

Yup, good start. Please, continue.

Rick Perry and Tim Pawlenty would definitely be stronger contenders. The former would still need to avoid gaffes and the latter would likely benefit from the money that went to Romney iOTL.

What about Senator George Allen of Virginia? If his "macaca" moment is butterflied away he could be a contender. I remember talk about him before he lost in 2006.

This is really great! Subscribed.

Thank you!

Kearny, are there any good books you recommend about the Ancestral Puebloan collapse? I'm fascinated by the little bits you've provided.

Henry Clay is the nominee. He probably beats Van Buren in 1840. :confused:

Ah. Yes, apologies, momentary lapse.

Good update, though I find Gore winning Tennessee but losing Wisconsin and Pennsylvania sort of a stretch.

Cool, I like this TL so far, keep it up.

I did not realize that, Zioneer, thanks. In any case, the Californios would learn something of Mormon theology, and they wouldn't like it. They demanded American Protestants become Catholics as a prerequisite for naturalization, but by 1840 they stopped trying persuade immigrants to convert...

I think California is a no-go, despite how cool a story it would be. Not only is it unlikely due to the huge population boom and Gold Rush, but the native Californios were pretty conservative Catholics. They wouldn't take kindly to a big group of polygamous heretics moving in illegally...

Looks good so far, please continue!

If those diseases were endemic in the New World it would drastically affect migration patterns and the development of civilizations. Yeah, it'll butterfly away the USA, but it'll also butterfly away the Aztecs, the Olmecs, the Inca, the Mayan. The Americas Columbus discovers will be leagues...
