Terrific updates! Is George Romney still governor of MI then?
Thanks...
No, Romney retired after two terms from 1963 to 1971. But at that time, there wasn't term limit in Michigan.
Romney was elected MI Governor in 1962 & reelected in 1964 & 1966. Speaking of Governors: what happened to Connally ? I'm assuming he chose not to seek a 4th 2-year term in 1968 ? I also have some tidbits on this TL: Brewer (if he had beaten Wallace in the Runoff in 1970), was allowed to seek a 2nd full 4-year term in 1974 & was NOT term limited since AL extended the term of Governor to back-to-back 4 years. On Rocky: I thought he was buried at the Rockefeller Family Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, NY St ? Because I noticed that you'd have to be in the military to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Looking forward to seeing if Ford manages to entice Reagan become VP ?
That would be a very smart move in order to unite all the wings of the party.
Something tells me Ford will deeply regret NOT picking Reagan as VP although if Ford wins the nomination, he can still pick Reagan & dump the other guy.

TX Dems do NOT want Clements appointing a GOPer to Bentsen's US Senate seat. I betcha some of them are secretly rooting for Moonbeam and maybe Askew to be the Dem nominee for the Presidency.
I didn't mention Askew in that quote.
