What are some political PODs that have many potential butterflies, but are underused? I'm going to say John Turner winning the 1988 Election, it's a POD with many butterflies, but you don't really see people use it or even talk about it much.
Even if it is discovered the same time it was OTL, Nixon reacting better then he did would change things drastically.People act as if Watergate was a foregone conclusion to happen when it did. But what if the break-in is never discovered because the security guard didn’t put tape on the door, and at the very least, Nixon gets to ride out his second term with Watergate, or whatever they call it, bubbling in the background like a mild annoyance?

Churchill Wins in 1945 but forms a more centralist Government with many of his cross party war cabinat ministers and focuses on recovering from the war as quickly as possible
Al Gore deciding to ignore Bill Clinton's faults after the Lewinsky Scandal & actually fully campaigns with Bill & embracing his past policies. Of course, not picking Lieberman would be a great idea too. Evan Bayh or John Kerry would be good picks.
Well, New Hampshire was close, and that's Lurch's backyard.I'm not so sure that Lieberman hurt--the Democrats did very strongly in areas of southern Florida with large numbers of Jewish voters. Gore-Lieberman did better in Broward County in 2000 than any other Democratic presidential ticket in modern times; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broward_County,_Florida and the same is true of Palm Beach County, despite the notorious butterfly ballots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Beach_County,_Florida Without Lieberman, Bush might have won Florda in a more clear-cut way. And I doubt that Kerry or Bayh would have helped Gore--MA was too "blue" and IN too "red" for a running mate to make a difference. Gore-Graham OTOH might have been enough to assure the ticket FL and therefore the White House.
