Ross Perot / Ann Richards 1992? Perot dies in his second term and Ann Richards becomes president.

Have TR run again in 1916, have La Follette reconcile with him and run as VP. Over the 20s have several strong local and national election runs. Slowly have both the progressive dems and progressive gop join the party, so that Progressive Party is the progressive choice, and Democratic Party and...

If Obama wanted Jimmy in the cabinet for some reason, would Jimmy join? If so, what cabinet role would Jimmy take? Not sure what effect this would have for Obama popularity wise, but I think by 2008 Carter is held in higher regard than the 80s and 90s, so I'm assuming it would be a net...

Mozerella sticks, chicken fries, onion rings (as mentioned)

Actually, it was French minister Pierre Laval who in 1935 suggested to Stalin that Pope Pius XI would appreciate if Stalin stopped persecuting Catholics in the Soviet Union, to which Stalin gave his famous “The Pope? How many divisions has he?” retort.

2000. While it was a big spectacle, impeachment was not a popular action for the majority of Americans. Post-impeachment, Clinton had a 73% approval rating, and he left office with 65%, the highest of any departing president since Harry Truman.[1] 1 -...

Most people were sick of hearing about Lewinsky by then and Clinton was very popular.

Had he embraced Clinton he would have won by a large margin. His own undoing, mostly because he was a bit egotistical. I think 2004 he would have had a solid chance, though. A good amount of people who either voted Bush or didn't vote in 04 but voted Gore in 00 would turn up for Gore here...

Ever heard of Elian Gonzalez? The internet comment backlash? A decent showing for Nader? A significantly more left leaning primary challenge from Bradley? I think the idea that everything broke Gore’s way is preposterous. Ans the notion that Gore got most of his votes as Clinton backlash is just...

Ann Richards perhaps?

This premise is ridiculous. Gore very nearly won in 2000 (and would have save for confusing balloting, hanging chads, and other minor irregularities), after a scandalous, rather unpopular second term from Clinton. You think he couldn’t win a re-election in 96 against Bob Dole after an economic...

The problem with this POD is, Britain and France didn't care about preserving Poland in general, they cared about preserving Poland from Germany. The Soviet invasion of Poland is given a lot more leeway because of the Polish-Soviet War and Poland's annexation of it's eastern territories from the...

This was a very nearly executed plan foiled at the last minute in OTL

More than likely.

Treay of Trianon is thrown out or revised. Instead, France will allow a larger and stronger Hungary on the border with the Soviets (this was planned when the war was going good for the Soviets in OTL).

January 1995: Pope John Paul II is assassinated in the Phillipines on January 15th. One week later, 4000 are murdered via simultaneous terrorist bombings of flights over the Pacific ocean. The same group, Al-Qaeda takes responsibility for both attacks. Spaceballs III: The Search for Spaceballs...

Is a bonapartist restoration possible in a CP victory scenario? Either under Napoleon V (Victor) or Napoleon VI (Louis)?
