Considering the close margin of the race in Texas in real life, I can't see Texas going for Kennedy without Johnson on the ticket.

Yep - Texas goes to Nixon.

I'd say Kennedy wins Illinois by a wider margin. He doesn't even need the Mafia's help there.

In the end, flip Wisconsin and Texas and that's your 1960 map.

In other words, pursuing a midwestern strategy, and not going with LBJ for VP, darn near costs JFK the election.

Well JFK loses the south without LBJ. Texas and the Carolinas would go to Nixon.
