Looks about right. A Rockefeller Administration would have been far better for the country than Nixon.

Rockefeller wins in 1968. 

Warner has a good map, although I would give some more electoral votes to Humphrey, but still a win for Rockefeller.

I believe Rockefeller would have made a colorful, intriguing, and capable President.  However, Rockefeller would have had to resist his penchant for big spending, which he had a record of as Governor of New York.

With Rockefeller as President, America avoids the Watergate Scandal.

This is how I believe the 1968 Presidential Election would have turned out if the GOP nominated Rocky instead of Dick.

The only thing I can't see happening here is Reagan running with Rockefeller. Those two didn't mix at all. I could see a more moderate Republican like John Tower or Ted Agnew running with Rockefeller.
