1968: RFK/Hatfield vs. Nixon/Agnew vs. Wallace/LeMay.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

That is true, RFK's opposition to the war was never legitimate in the first place.

Can you elaborate please?

I think if Nixon barely held off Humphrey in WI, IL, CA, MO... RFK would have won them all and pushed him into the 300's range.

1968 was actually a physically close election - the 510,000 vote PV margin shows that plenty of states could have gone the other way without much pressure.
