Chicago, NYC, New Orleans, St. Louis, Mobile (it's not huge but it will be some sort of urban area in any case, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia.

TNF is 100 percent right on all counts. I wouldnt blame the Democrats for chasing wall street, but they did lose a huge part of their base. Gore also forgot about a little thing we call math. Had he won New Hampshire, he would've won the election. He should have spent more time there...

While George W. Bush had a history of moderate, racially progressive politicians, Al Gore had a southern senator for a father who voted against the CRA. What if he voted against the voting rights act and/or signed the southern manifesto? How would that impact Al Gore and his politics, if at all?

But we have a new normal today. For the lack of the debt ceiling crisis, probably have the Obama administration focus on the economy before ACA, a more successful stimulus, and the lack of the tea party. Basically, as long as the tea party doesn't rise, you wont have this crisis, because while...

Your faith in Israel is remarkable :P. That's something at actually seems quite possible. As for Mubarak, are you saying that he'd be assassinated by an Israeli sniper once more?

The first reply is excellent. I would also assume that maybe they would unite based on anti-Slavic sentiment from the west in opposing Yugoslavia, and they would stay united because they feel threatened.

Indeed. Maybe a couple movies based on lacrosse as well. Pop culture can drive a sport tremendously. Also, maybe football coaches encourage their athletes to play lacrosse to train for FB season, and I agree with you on the baseball strikes. Maybe the Olympics brings it in, during a successful...

Another issue could have been just as divisive. Also IIRC the Heritage foundation put out the idea of the individual mandate by 1989 or so, so that's an issue that may have come up sometime in the mid 90s.

Maybe something with Detroit and all sorts of automobiles racing? Or Seattle and planes?

LBJ wasn't even his first choice. kennedy preferred Symington, but LBJ was a courtesy call because of who he was. I predict he'd lose, so I agree with RogueBeaver, not only because LBJ doesn't help him big in certain states, but also because he never manages to win enough of the black vote in...

What's the date you're jumping off from? I think Stonewall Jackson would be a good person to approach, as for a government approach, VP Stephens would seem to make sense because Davis would probably want his surrogate to check that out.

The influence of pro-Native American activists lead to growing sympathy for them by the 1880s, and a sympathetic federal government attempts to restrict further encroachment on native land. This moral awakening leads to the discussion of conditions of African Americans in the south, which angers...

It would have been a futile effort. A big Nixon win either way, as I agree with what has been said about northeastern liberals on a ticket. Understand that Chappaquiddick hurt Teddy K in the eyes of everyone. The staunch hawkish Irish Catholics of the North would not vote for McGovern, and the...

Richard was a fighter, a mentally tough leader who wasnt going to let his brother succeed to the throne. Regardless of weather, he would have found a way back. His armies were indeed too tired to continue fighting. I'm not sure whether Richard could have found a way to exploit this when you...

Obviously no camp David accords. We also see the United States possibly loosen Some of our ties with Israel. Carter, who ended his term with a sour opinion of Israel, would probably actively campaign against the Israeli government post presidency. AIPAC loses its influence/never gets dry strong...

Reagan/Kennedy or Brown/Kennedy. Expect a big victory for the Dems, and a southerner to be nominated for VP on the Dem ticket. Lloyd Bentsen perhaps?

Or an untimely death/resignation from a member of the conservative wing early in Obama's term.

Seems to be on the mark. Sometimes, IMO, you can't deduce between an anti-villain and an anti-hero. And the distinction between antagonists and villains is worthy.

Absolutely. However, I suppose one could argue that without those pitiful years, Kobe would have never gotten as self-sufficient as he currently is in terms of putting a team on his back and pushing through. You can call Kobe selfish, but the magical part is that he can always have the ball in...
