Eisenhower decides to pick Margaret Chase Smith instead of Nixon for the VP slot in 1952. Eisenhower wins in both 1952 and 1956. The GOP nominates Smith in 1960 while the Dems still nominate JFK. Everything else stays the same. How would this election turn out? Discuss, with maps.

How come JFK would win by such a large margin? Sexism? You know Eisenhower was pretty popular in 1960.
