Goldy loses AZ!? (FTR, I get why he does, but that doesn't make me any happier)

1. Since this is focused on CA, what happened with the 1967 special House race? Was Pete McCloskey elected, or was there a different outcome, say, us getting a Congresswoman Shirley Temple Black?

2. From what I know, Romney was originallyeant to run as "Rockefeller's candidate". As both are openly running against each other from the beginning, has any big dynamic changed?

3. Will any other major GOP candidates step up? Say, John Tower or Jim Rhodes?

Personally, I'd see a Rocky/Agnew, a Romney/Hatfield, or a Tower/Agnew ticket as making fir a quite interesting race. After all, ol' Spiro originally headed the committee to draft Rocky & they were good friends before '68.

As I recall, NH was actually pretty pro-war. What McCarthy did was do very well in turnout.

Also, will Dr. Hunter S. Thompson be weighing in with his perspective on the election?

Not surprised at the victories. Romney & McGovern both have the regional advantage, especially with McCarthy's endorsement of McGovern (and McGovern won it four years later in RL after all).

Bump! I was missing this. Where ya been?

"Rupert Brooke"? Edward Brooke was a Senator from MA, 1967-1979.

Go Reagan! And I'm hoping either Romney or Westmoreland wins the nomination, and it's looking like it'll shape out that way, though Nixon's role as a favorite son could help him in a deadlocked convention.

Crap. Now  I'm hungry for KFC.

I believe John Wayne was also considered to be Wallace's VP. And a check on wikipedia confirms it.
