9/11 would still have happened.
We would still be in Iraq and Afghanistan (face it, oil owns this nation)
The financial markets and housing crisis would still have happened.

The only real difference? We wouldn't have Bush-isms like "strategery."

But Florida actually counted up votes cast. . . pesky problem that.

I didn't read it yet but I just wanted to say that I always enjoy "alternative history" fiction!

What would have happened if Joe Kennedy didn't buy his son a presidency?

What would happened if KC mob boss Pendergast had not bought Harry Truman every local office before his run for the Presidency?

Exactly. And I get a little feeling a little ways down the road something is REALLY going to blow up about our current guy. And my issue is this, did Nixon call for an investigation? Any court cases? None.

Never mind that. That is history no matter what you think about it. What would have happened if Obama wasn't elected president? If ACORN didn't sign up dead people to vote? I would say more people would be working right now. Just look at this place. Nothing for people to do but spend their days online thinking of what ifs. Geesh.

Getting jobs at Newsweek for hack writers. Bet most are working from home on a contract basis. That may be the only story they write this year.
