I ran with Ronald Reagan as my VP choice with a moderate conservative law and order campaign. I emphasized "accountability", attacked inflation, took a very strong stance on the riots, took a moderate position on Affirmative Action and busing, said I would keep troop levels in Vietnam at current levels while pursuing peace, said that Johnson handled the war wrong but Tet Offensive was bad for the Viet Cong, etc. etc. etc. I had a pretty good lead in many Midwest states before we sabotaged the Peace Talks, which might've helped with the landslide.
