Guess how it happened and who the candidates were and I will give you a lollipop!

Whoops sorry DC's meant to be green.

1960
Nixon drops the 50 state tour bs and picks NJ Senator Clifford Case as his running mate instead of Cabot Lodge.
 In his first term, he invades Cuba and paves the way for its future statehood. He also goes to war with Vietnam, signs the Voting Rights Act, Civil Rights Act and gives DC representation in the electoral college.

1964
Nixon drops Nam war opponent Case from the ticket and picks Senator James Glenn Beall of Maryland.
 Dems nominate LBJ and HHH, who go after Nixon for trampling states rights' and the constitution.

1968
Republicans nominate VP Beall and Sen Margaret Chase Smith of Maine, Dems nominate George Smathers and Scoop Jackson and Progressive Massachusetts Senator RFK rides the sympathy wave after his bro Jack's death from addison's disease with eugene mccarthy.

72 but who is who?

LBJ was 'elected' (in the George W BUsh sense of the word) Senator as a conservative Taft-Hartley supporting Dixiecrat. In the Senate, he would vote against Ike's Civil Rights Act. I'm not sure if HHH was as expedient a politician as LBJ, but in this context he might need him for regional/ideological balance, e.g. Bartlett-Hoynes or
Roosevelt-Garner. Men like Johnson and Nixon knew how to play the game.

DC's Green because poor African Americans are not quite ready to turn to their new enfranchisers in the GOP, but watchful of the social ConservaDems like George Smathers and LBJ who run the party, so they turn to the new Progressive Party of people like RFK, Maggie Chase Smith and Eugene McCarthy.
