^I've always thought there was a pretty good chance that in the event of a tie, the Democratic Senate would put up their Presidential nominee for VP.

That sure as hell would be interesting to have a sitting VP challenge the President

QUITE A DIFFERENT AMERICA

Point of divergence here is the Civil Rights Act being passed in the 50ies by an independent President Eisenhower. Neither Democrats nor Republicans realign themselves on civil right issues as they do OTL. The 60ies see Presidents Kennedy and Johnson as in OTL, the latter reelected in 1968. Civil Rights cease to be a big issue in the late 60ies, also in the South.

Cool map series! It reminded me of one I did last year, where the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts aren't passed as in OTL, similar to what you did.

edited to add: I found it: link to A Divergent America

The Kennedy Cakewalk

"Rarely before had the American people been in such agreement."

President John F. Kennedy / Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson - 521 (63%)
Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater / New York Congressman William E. Miller - 17 (37%)


"After a tense night, Richard Nixon hit 269 with only California left to be called. At 5:02am EST California was called by a margin of XXXXX for New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Kennedy went on to be elected by the House of Representatives, and his running mate by the United States Senate.

The quixotic campaign of Alabaman George Wallace, which initially drew widespread attention, fizzled in the final month of the campaign. The candidate eventually won only the states that went to Barry Goldwater four years earlier."

New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy / Minnesota Senator Eugene McCarthy - 252 (48%; 32,569,240)
Frmr. Vice President Richard Nixon / Marlyand Governor Spiro Agnew - 269 (47%; 31,753,084)

President Robert F. Kennedy / Vice President Eugene McCarthy - 497 (57%; 44,742,680)
California Governor Ronald Reagan / Connecticut Senator George H.W. Bush - 41 (43%; 33,672,644)


"We obviously had Kennedy fatigue."

Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy / Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter - 77 (48%; 38,271,500)
Majority Leader Gerald Ford / Kansas Senator Bob Dole - 461 (52%; 41,551,360)

Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy / Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen - 366 (45%; 37,249,268)
President Gerald Ford / Vice President Bob Dole - 172 (39%; 32,684,138)

Texas

Frmr. Secretary of State George H.W. Bush / Indiana Senator Dan Quayle - 35 (42%; 37,410,344)

1960 thru 1988, the crazy years

Texas Senator Lyndon B. Johnson / Minnesota Senator Hubert H. Humphrey - 273; 51% (30,707,480)
Vice President Richard Nixon / Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. - 264; 49% (29,844,384)

Nixon almost won this one...New York was very narrow and called near 4 or 5 am. The margin of victory was (D: 3,162,366 to R: 3,123,326)

____________________________

President Lyndon B. Johnson / Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey - 422; 53% (37,546,796)
Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy / Utah - 116; 46% (32,546,244)

A Republican JFK was probably the best candidate to go up against President Johnson in '64.

____________________________

Hubert H. Humphrey / Georgia - 384; 46% (26,928,496)
Barry Goldwater / Pennsylvania - 154; 38% (22,582,810)
Richard Nixon / California - 0; 16% (9,052,127)

After Goldwater gets the nomination, Nixon jumps in the race, arguing for a "sensible Republican option." The narrative of his campaign is that he is running to save the nation, and he does: by splitting the vote and helping Hubert H. Humphrey win.

____________________________

President Hubert H. Humphrey / Georgia - 523; 60% (42,945,828)
New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller / Mississippi - 15; 40% (29,000,720)

I think it's almost impossible for the incumbent to lose in 1972 with historical conditions.

New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy / Texas - 107; 49% (42,242,204)
California Governor Ronald Reagan / Illinois - 431; 51% (44,556,360)

One of my favorite maps so far!

South Carolina Senator Fritz Hollings / Washington Senator Scoop Jackson - 3; 41% (30,504,668)
President Richard Nixon / Vice President Spiro Agnew - 535; 59% (44,413,780)

Minnesota Senator Eugene McCarthy / Georgia Governor James Carter - 268; 50% (43,725,600)
West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller / Forgot - 270; 50% (43,305,160)
I figured since Rocky became President in 1960, Jay decided to stick with the GOP to take advantage of the family name.

Georgia Governor James Carter / Minnesota Senator Walter Mondale - 314; 51% (44,367,776)
President Jay Rockefeller / Ohio - 224; 49% (42,837,056)

Kansas Senator Robert Dole - 428; 53% (43,944,828)

NOTE: I was shocked by this result! My intention with this series was as many Republican administrations as possible. Plus, the historical conditions for 1984 usually provide a huge advantage for the incumbent. Mario Cuomo must have some special 1984 sauce.
New York Governor Mario Cuomo - 393; 52% (46,452,640)
President Robert Dole - 145; 47% (42,268,184)
