HHH should have stepped down since he was a horrible candidate and would have made a horrible president.

I'm no big fan of Humphrey, but he would have made a decent President.

What about talking more about the good economy? I'm sure the economy mattered to many voters in 1968. If Humphrey would have talked more about JFK's and LBJ's economic record and about how he'll continue it, I'm pretty sure he would have gotten some voters that were unhappy with Vietnam due to their desire to keep the prosperity going.
People are not only voting on the economy. It would have given him maybe some voters more, but not enought to win.
