Johnson/Stevenson vs. Goldwater/Miller?

[TommyC1776]

Does Johnson still win?  If so is it a landslide?  Also how would this effect the 1968 election?  jw.

The only difference this would make is that Adlai Stevenson, instead of Hubert Humphrey, would serve four years as Vice President of the United States.

In the election, Johnson/Stevenson win a landslide victory over Goldwater/Miller.

The Democrats do not nominate two time Presidential loser, big loser, Stevenson, as their Presidential nominee, to lead them to defeat for a third time.  He would be a Vice President not successful in winning the party nomination, if he even ran for it, which would be very, very doubtful.  Stevenson died in 1965.

No difference at all in the EV and maybe a minute difference in the PV. What would have made this scenario interesting is that, since Stevenson died in 1965, there would have been no vice-presidential successor to LBJ when he decided not to run again in '68. Humphrey might still have run, but he could have done so without the burden of being seen as the standard bearer for Johnson's Vietnam policy... and without that burden, he may well have won the general election.
