Just for fun...
1961 - 1969 John F. Kennedy (DEM)
1969 - 1977 Nelson Rockefeller (REP)
1977 - 1981 Henry M. Jackson (DEM)
1981 - 1989 John Anderson (REP)
1989 - 1997 Lloyd Bentsen (DEM)
1997 - 2001 Al Gore (REP)
2001 - 2005 John McCain (DEM)
2005 - John Edwards (REP)
Yes, you read right, Gore REP, McCain DEM and Edwards REP. A Rockefeller Presidency results in the socially liberal wing of the Republican Party (they did exist then) taking over, meaning the Reagan revolution never happened, with Anderson's Presidency being a continuation of that trend; meanwhile, Jackson's Presidency results in the conservatives running in droves to the Democrats, the result being a vastly changed political landscape by the time we get to the 90s. Both parties would probably be more moderately-minded with rather little between them, comparable to, say, a European parliamentary democracy like Germany.
