RFK would have won, but we are forgetting much of the sex-scandals that would have erupted at the time, which in reality was only shortly after his death. But, saying that he did have charisma, which in our own timeline helped salvage Clinton in the eyes of the electorate. RFK would have ran again in 72 and lost to Reagan I believe, but the economic situation would not have been right for Reaganomics, he would have been as tied up as Ford was and possibly Ted Kennedy or even Jimmy Carter would have been the Dems nomination come 76 and he would have won. If we say it was Carter, I think he would have won re-election in 1980 and George Bush Snr would have won in 84, with re-election in 88. In 92, I think the GOP would be far more moderate than it in reality was, so any race with the Dems would have been tight. After that I'm not gonna speculate!
