1976: Ted Kennedy vs. Spiro Agnew, with several twists

-Chapaquiddick does not occur
-Spiro Agnew does not take or accept bribes as Governor of Maryland (and thus never resigns as VP)
-Watergate does not occur

The rest of the Nixon Presidency goes the same way as it did in RL. In 1976, the GOP nominates the incumbent VP, Spiro Agnew. The Democrats nominate Ted Kennedy. Who would win? You pick the VPs. Discuss, with maps.

Who are the VPs? Also, explain your reasoning.

Well, the VPs are Dale Bumpers and Ronald Reagan, respectively. And I think, despite a popular Nixon administration, the Kennedy name would win Ted the election.
