so this assumes that Bobby lost the 1968 fight at the convention (which is actually a more realistic option than a lot of people reckon, even if he won Illinois & New York)
I think it's a big unknown how Bobby would survive the 1970s; the issues of crime, busing & abortion are always ones where it's easy to see him deviatating from the democratic line. It's forgotten that Ted was not only the most liberal of the brothers but also kept moving left as he got older.
I think much how JFK's best shot was 1960, Bobby's was always the chaos & uncertainty that 1968 generated.
