Ford catches up and wins even if it were only a week later. In the actual vote Ohio was razor thin close he would have only needed one other state. Wisconsin, Mississippi or Hawaii. Ford was a very moderate republican had it not been for the taint of Watergate he would have easily beaten Carter. Had I been able to vote and alive during that election my vote would have gone to Ford as did my state at the time. The momentum clearly was with Ford in the final days of 76 he just closed very late in the game and didnt completely close the gap. This was very similar to 1968 if Humphrey would have had another week he would have beaten Nixon.
