When Watson made a positive refusal, Mondale contacted Westman about the opportunity. Westman accepted the VP slot on the condition that he could also run for re-election in his Montana Senate seat.
In your previous versions, Lawrence Watson was born in 1950, which means he's 34 in 1984. One year short of being eligible for President.
As of Westman, he was elected in 1976, which means he was just reelected in 1982. Unless, of course, you butterflied something.
Otherwise, great job as usual 
Watson would be 34, but only between January 20th and February 11th... It matters not anyway lol.
Westman I have being elected previously in 1978. (He was in the House from 1972-1977) Only a minor butterfly.
Interesting.
I never really imagined Westman in the US House. I wonder, whose ass did he kick to get into the House? Please tell me it was Max Baucus!
You do understand though that the reason why Westman didn't run for re-election for the US Senate in original Americana had to do with Montana Election Law and not because the LP wouldn't let him, right? So presumably Montana Legislature would have had to pass some sort of LBJ rule in your TL in order for Westman to even think about "double-running" in 1984.
Just checking.
