(I'm including those who got delegates at the convention as well. Also include a preference for VP if you decide to post in the thread.)

The War in Vietnam continually looks more like a quagmire. Meanwhile, race riots plague major American cities, inflation has gone up, and the Right is ascending within the Republican party. Who will you choose to lift America out of this mess in 1968? Five days to decide.

Whoops. I clicked the wrong button. Accidentally voted for Ray-gun, meant to vote for Hiram Fong.

Toss-up between Romney and Rockefeller.  Maybe Romney since I'm from Michigan.  I would've probably really liked Volpe too.  Maybe one of them for president and another for vice president.  BTW: Why did you give two home states for Stassen?  I might have supported him except that he was largely a has-been by 1968.  This is a great slate of candidates and any one of them would definitely had my support.
In the OTL general, definitely Nixon.

I gave Stassen (and Nixon) two states since he had held office in MN and came from there but by then was living in PA and had run for and lost some races there.

Surprised Reagan isn't running away with this, as the moderate base is split.

Well, if this were closed, no doubt Reagan'd have a much better chance. But moderate Republicans combined with the forum's liberals (which are the plurality if not the majority) seem to have given Rocky the edge.
