1964: Johnson/Humphrey vs. Rockefeller/Scranton

[Penelope]

The 1964 Primaries play out a bit differently, and we get a liberal GOP ticket. How does the election map change?

Ran it 10 times through a sim program. This was the closest result.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

Lyndon Johnson (D-TX)/Hubert Humphrey (D-MN): 55.3% PV, 460 EV
Nelson Rockefeller (R-NY)/William Scranton (R-PA): 42.4% PV, 61 EV
Unpledged Electors: 17 EV

I actually have a timeline on alternatehistory.com that talks about the butterflies of Nelson Rockefeller winning the GOP nod in 1964. As a result, Barry Goldwater is presidentially viable for 1968, and wins the 1968 GOP nod and then the Presidency.

Also, Ronald Reagan becomes the voice of HAL-9000.
