Humphrey vrs Nixon in 1960

[swky_0rn]

If Hubert Humphrey  went up against Richard Nixon  8 years earlier how would things be  different?

[President Johnson]

Hubert would have lost. JFK was the only Democrat to beat Nixon in 1960. Not sure about LBJ, he could also have won. But no other Democrat.

Vice President Richard Nixon (R-CA)/Former Senator Henry Cabot Lodge (R-NY): 302 EV. (51.77%)
Senator Hubert Humphrey (D-MN)/Senator Stuart Symington (D-MO): 227 EV. (46.84%)
Senator Harry F. Bird (Dixie-VA)/Senator Strom Thurmond (Dixie-SC): 8 EV. (0%) (faithless electors)

JFK, Symington, Stevenson and maybe Truman could have defeated Nixon.

288: Nixon/Dewey(53.1%)
200: Humphrey/Symington(44.5%)

[Mr. Smith]

Humphrey would have lost, but he would have done better in rural areas. Probably something like:

Nixon/Lodge
Humphrey/Young
Byrd/Thurmond

[President Johnson]

JFK, Symington, Stevenson and maybe Truman could have defeated Nixon.

288: Nixon/Dewey(53.1%)
200: Humphrey/Symington(44.5%)

Truman? In 1960? At 76? Remember that Truman wasn't considered a great president before the 1960s/1970s.

He was the only one capable of uniting the New Deal Old Guard with the New Democrats.

Republican Arkansas in 1960?

Nixon/Lodge
Humphrey/Young
Byrd/Thurmond

No idea how accurate this would be, but it's an incredibly pretty map.
