The one mistake Humphrey made was not distancing himself from the Vietnam policy sooner. Had he done so just a few days earlier, he probably would've won, that by Nixon's own admission. Humphrey came on strong in the final weeks, and attacked Nixon mercilessly for refusing to debate him. That and other things bumped Humphrey up, but the distancing just did not happen in time.

Still, LBJ stopping of bombing gave him boots. Probably, had Johnson announced it earlier, HHH woudl win.
