1968: George Romney the Republican nominee

[morgankingsley]

I wonder if a acting president for this long would now go in the history books as a president since it has now been 10 days instead of just mere hours

Is this going until a winner is declared, or for the terms

288: George Romney/Mark Hatfield - 44.0%
203: Hubert Humphrey/George Smathers - 40.1%
47: George Wallace/Strom Thurmond - 14.6%
Others - 1.3%

I found this thread again in a link to a newer thread in the forum. I was casually reading it, and then found this. But brah, why would Thurmond be Wallace's running mate and why would Arkansas flip to Humphrey

I think George Romney would have been a wonderful President; however, he was actually born in Chihuahua, Mexico. Nixon exposed this during the 68 convention.That's one of the reasons he privately voted for and supported George McGovern. The other reason being that the war was still going on Vietnam. I read that all in his autobiography.

So this entire situation would literally be impossible lol
