So is Connally elected Governor of Texas in 1960 instead of 1962, or...?

In 1961, Connally is not yet governor just as OTL. ITTL he has worked within the Johnson Campaign from its outset and encompasses sort of an advisory role to now-President Johnson.

Ah. One of your updates used the phrase "Governor to be" and I was curious if he had entered the race for Governor two years early. Is he Chief of Staff, or a less formal title (presumably something like "Adviser to the President")? It would also be interesting if being more directly involved in an administration might delay or defer Connally's OTL switch to the GOP.

Somewhat surprised you're portraying Kennedy as being to the left of Johnson. Given Jack's relative conservatism in the Senate, I wouldn't have been surprised if his years at the helm were seen as a long list of wasted opportunities for America's progressives. This is still very early though. Fantastic work!

I recall reading that Bush and Goldwater had been friends in he Senate, despite their ideological disparity; as such, I've thought that Goldwater Bush would be an interesting ticket and potential TTL prelude to the real life Reagan/Bush ticket.
