New Campaign Trail: How would you do in 1968?

[LAB-LIB]

I played Humphrey on normal a week or two ago:

1968 Presidential Election

Vice President Hubert Humphrey (D-MN)/Senator Edmund Muskie (D-ME): 459 electoral votes/35,583,160 votes (48.7%)
Fmr. Vice President Richard Nixon (R-CA)/Governor Spiro Agnew (R-MD): 40 electoral votes/28,462,381 votes (39.0%)
Fmr. Governor George Wallace (I-AL)/Ret. General Curtis LeMay (I-OH): 39 electoral votes/9,002,103 votes (12.3%)

I had so much fun making this map, so wish it was the map IRL. It's about as perfect as 1968 can realistically get, having Humphrey win by the widest margin possible but without giving Wallace the distinction of coming in second.

How?

I picked the answer about running to the right of Wallace on economic issues gives you a big boost. It's sort of like Dukakis '88 "As President I will do anything to cut income taxes further" Pick Muskie as your running mate. Some others have pushed Nixon below Wallace in electoral votes, but that's very difficult.

Also, how do you make the maps that you do? I can only make them with the electoral college calculator on Atlas, and I like the way the other way looks better.
