The tickets were exactly the same, i.e. Nixon-Agnew (R) and McGovern-Shriver (D), but in this case the entire electorate somehow knew what would happen throughout the next four years if Nixon were re-elected. But as in real life today, they didn't know what would happen if McGovern were elected instead.
Would the American people have stuck with it and re-elected two men who were both destined to resign in disgrace and send the nation into political turmoil, or take a chance on a pair of inexperienced liberal peaceniks instead?
