A New Deal for the American People

A unionized Texas leading to a much more competetive state, and one where it looks like H.W. Bush might have stayed in Conneticut, with an earlier Republican Party. Thanks for the list TNF:D

Yup. The Bush family will stay in New England, and will stay true to their roots as moderate Republicans.
 
I updated the New York list, with an interesting twist, or at least, one that RogueBeaver will find worthwhile. :D

Working on the next update to this, but in the meantime, I'm considering posting the makeup of the U.S. Congress as of 2010...anyone interested?

Yes!filler
 
With such an early PoD, it seems very very odd to see Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor of California and Eliott Spitzer as governor of NY.

Note that neither was born until long after the PoD, so neither will EXIST, let alone be governor.

An excessive amount of counterfactualness is detrimental to Alt-History.

Having some level of comparability, through the use of historical figures, is in my opinion desirable. Because uchronia is by its very nature meta-fiction, much of the substance comes from the irony between the alt-history and our history.

Really, when you get down to it, there are no plausible alt-histories, only entertaining ones.
