1976: Udall (D) vs. Rockefeller (R) vs. Reagan (I)

« on: December 02, 2010, 01:25:29 PM »

What if Sara Jane Moore had been successful in assassinating Gerald Ford, causing Nelson Rockefeller to become president? In '76 the Democrats nominate Mo Udall, while Reagan doesn't run his IRL campaign because he doesn't think he can beat Rockefeller after the assassination. With the liberal vote split, could an independent campaign by Reagan achieve victory?

Discuss with maps.

Udall outscores Reagan (in the popular vote), and Reagan outscores Rockefeller. However, election is sent to the House where Udall wins because of a Republican split.

I believe they need a majority of the house (although Dems were a very substantial majority in '76).
