A better George W. Bush presidency - perhaps he starts off on a better footing without the controversy of the 2000 election, and either a very different Iraq War or somehow avoid it altogether.
1976 without Watergate
I also think the 1950s are rife with un- or under-explored potential - I know it's getting to be pretty far in the past, but the Cold War was still in its infancy and with a few PODs there is a lot of potential for crazy things to happen. What if somehow China doesn't fall under Truman's watch? Could he have managed to avoid becoming politically toxic and have a shot at running again in 52? What about if Robert Taft gets the nomination? The GE probably becomes a lot more competitive and gives Kefauver or Stevenson the opportunity to win a narrow victory. Not to mention Taft himself could still win, and it'd be interesting to see how he'd govern in office.
