Recently while perusing my regular news sources I noticed a few articles presenting what if questions. This might be more appropriate for political chat, I'm not sure, but I thought these articles were interesting.

The Economist wonders if the crisis wouldn't have happened if Lehman Brothers hadn't failed.

The New York Times asks how the healthcare debate would have gone if Hillary Clinton stayed in the Senate and was not appointed as Secretary of State.
Just thought it was curious how I've been seeing more alternate history-related stuff in mainstream news recently and thought I'd post them here.
