Robert Kennedy decides not to go with another northeastern liberal for Vice President, instead chooses experienced and respected Missouri Senator Stuart Symington.

Richard Nixon, realizing he is facing politically polished opponents, opts for former Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton, who was Governor 1963-1967, for Vice President.

In a close election, Kennedy wins California, Nixon's home state, and the scene of Kennedy's greatest primary victory, by a narrow margin, and Kennedy wins the election.

Sympathy for former President John Kennedy helps put Robert Kennedy over the top in some very close states.

Kennedy/Symington          269 EV
Nixon/Scranton                  224 EV
Wallace/LeMay                     45 EV
