Elections Revisited: 1964 General

[Kaine for Senate '18]

The poll will close on Monday.

[Keystone Phil]

Again, I'd probably refuse to vote.

[Хahar 🤔]

Johnson.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I'd go for Rockefeller just because I don't think that he would be as much of a socialist as Johnson was. Like 1960 though, I couldn't really care about who won this election.

[CPT MikeyMike]

I'd go for Rockefeller just because I don't think that he would be as much of a socialist as Johnson was.

[Daniel Adams]

I'd go for Rockefeller just because I don't think that he would be as much of a socialist as Johnson was.

[YRABNNRM]

Rockefeller because he would have been a great President.

[NDN]

I'd go for Rockefeller just because I don't think that he would be as much of a socialist as Johnson was.

Probably better foreign policy too.

[AkSaber]

I'd go for Rockefeller just because I don't think that he would be as much of a socialist as Johnson was.

Probably better foreign policy too.

True, true.

True, true.

     I like how if you just read the posts, you'd think it's a Rockefeller landslide, but in reality, the vote is quite close.

[Хahar 🤔]

I'm the only one who's expressed support for Johnson.

[YRABNNRM]

I'm the only one who's expressed support for Johnson.

A brave soul.

Why is it that you support him (pardon me if you already expressed this in the Primary thread, I'm too lazy to check it myself)?

I'm assuming because of Great Society.

Yes, the Great Society. No Rockefeller would ever do something like that.

Wouldn't you be embarrassed to admit voting for Johnson?

     I would. Looks like Rockefeller is picking up steam, though.

     I'm not the biggest fan of the Great Society, though given your Economic PM score, I'd be surprised if you weren't.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

How exactly is Rockefeller's foreign policy different from LBJ's?  He wasn't an isolationist, if I remember correctly.

[War on Want]

Rocky because of better foriegn policy, more social liberal and probably, in the long run, as good as LBJ with economic policy.

[Хahar 🤔]

You fail.

You fail.

How? I guess I am just a big Rocky fan.

Over Great Society? Fail.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Governor Nelson Rockefeller (R)

If this Johnson/Rockefeller matchup was the RL 1964 Presidential Election instead of Johnson/Goldwater, Governor Rockefeller wouldn't be leading 61-38 over President Johnson. Let alone would Governor Rockefeller ever be in a position to actually defeat President Johnson in RL 1964.

[Cubby]

Rockefeller, so the events of 1968 wouldn't happen and Vietnam might have ended sooner

But only with hindsight. At the time I would have strongly supported Johnson.
