The people in Indiana will remember being comforted by Bobby when Martin Luther King Jr. was killed. Remember he announced King's death at a rally in Indianapolis. Missouri was close also in 1968 and Wallace helps Kennedy there.

Bobby Kennedy would not have won Indiana regardless of telling a group of supporters in Indianapolis that Martin Luther King Junior died. Remember Nixon did win Indiana by a big margin over HHH and Wallace in RL 1968: 50-37-11, so I doubt Nixon would lose Indiana to RFK in this scenario.

Arkansas and especially Lousiana would not have voted for RFK. In Lousiana, Wallace defeated his closest opponent Hubert Humphrey by 20 points.

I could go on for hours explaining why your map is incredibly wrong Mr. Porter but I won't. I will conclude by saying this map is incredibly flawed.

JFK won both Lousiana and Arkansas in 1960 and with the sympathy vote for the JFK Assassianation and the Kennedy name would win him over there. To add to that, he has a southern running mate. You should know that if you really know the way that the american electorate votes.

Go on, I want to hear all of you stupid comments.

Are you phucking kidding me?  Our stupid comments?  Do you have any idea what you say?  You don't understand anything.  The sympathy vote, if there was one, was used up by 1964.  The election goes to the House, which elects Kennedy.

Rockefeller: 222
Kennedy: 206
Wallace: 110
