Poppy Bush runs for the nod, but loses to Dole, because he’s flawed after the defeat on the Reagan ticket. However, I could see President Dole appointing him Secretary of State.

✓ Senator Bob Dole (R-KS)/Representative John B. Anderson (R-IL): 442 EVs.; 54.8%
Vice President Walter Mondale (D-MN)/Representative Geraldine Ferraro (D-NY): 96 EVs.; 44.3%

Dole's flawed because he lost on the Ford ticket and unlike Bush he can actually take some of the blame for it with his 'Democrat Wars' gaffe.

[President Johnson]

Senator Paul Laxalt (R-NV)/Congressman Phil Crane (R-IL): 377 EV. (53.21%)
Vice President Walter F. Mondale (D-MN)/Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro (D-NY): 161 EV. (45.68%)

I think Carter's inroads in the south would have mostly depleted by this point. I don't think a Democrat would win states in the deep south at this point in this alternate reality.

You don't think a Kneip/Heflin ticket would hold the Deep South?

I assumed Mondale would love to join up with a think tank or begin preparing himself for the SCOTUS. He'd only be 65 in 1993, just a touch old for the average Supreme Court nominee.
