I think the NY Daily News headline cost Gerald Ford NY's electoral votes (and the election as well).  New York has a long history of swinging toward incumbents in Presidential elections and the "Drop Dead" headline probably cost Ford the 145,000 votes in NYC that he needed to flip to carry the state and its 41 electoral votes.
