Republicans: Nelson Rockefeller (NY)/John S. Cooper (KY) - 293
Democrats: Lyndon B. Johnson (TX)/Hubert H. Humphrey (MN) - 192
States' Rights: Ross Barnet (MS)/Robert Sikes (FL) - 53

This is how I would project the election to be. Sure, the holdover Kennedy effect might make it less of a landslide for Rockefeller, but I still think that Rockefeller would've won. If I was alive back in '64 and this was the election, I would've voted for Rockefeller even as a Democrat. I've always liked Rockefeller a lot more than I ever did Johnson.

The United States wasn't going to have three presidents in three years by choice.

Dixiecrats take a few Deep South states, Johnson wins everything else, Rocky is completely shut out of the electoral college (every GOPher polled like Goldwater, the biggest reason for the landslide was the Kennedy assassination).

He could pull a Landon and get Maine and Vermont.

The climate was a little different. Also I suppose three years was a bit too much given that it would have been less than one year since JFK's assassination on election day.

Yeah, LBJ had sky-high approval ratings and unemployment to the tune of less than five percent on election day.

"Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard. . . But freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order."
- Justice Robert Jackson WV SBE v Barnette

Johnson was still popular, and would beat even a strong opponent like Rockefeller. Conservatives mostly vote for Rocky, but a few stray to Barnett.

I wouldn't touch the Carnival cruise ships with a 10 foot pole.  Too many things have gone wrong in the last ~6 months for me to even consider it anymore.
