Who is Reagan's running mate?
Wallace?
I once read that by 1976, Conservatives felt so desperate, they were actually considering running a Reagan/Wallace ticket.
Other possible VP's:
John Connally
Paul Laxalt
William F Buckley
James L Buckley
Barry Goldwater
Barry Goldwater Jr.
I heard that too - it was on a special on FOX.
Anywho, Wallace probably maximises Reagan's potential, electoral-vote wise, but marginalizes him to just the South.
Goldwater is too old, but the rest of the picks are low-key, yet plausible.
My take, on a Reagan/Wallace ticket:
Reagan does well for an independent candidate with no apparatii - Reagan gets the Deep South, while Rockefeller wins Nixonland.
Tossups: Arizona, New Mexico, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Alaska.
Why are there so many "I-MA"'s on here? Is it because Libertas got banned?
Because wormguy and Dallasfan are actually from Massachusetts and must've switched parties or something; as for Han, I don't know.
The former individual's theory is rather more credible than the latter's.
Cathcon is correct - I'm actively involved (IRL) with the GOP and content for now.
That
may change, depending on how the next few years unfold, but it's unlikely.
