This is fantastic stuff, and I'm eagerly looking forward to the unveiling of Nixon's next opponent.

So...a Goldwater Republican walkout, and what seems to be the prototypical phase of a Humphrey indie bid.

Yes. All of yes I can muster.

Hoping for a McCarthy primary. Barring that, I'd take a challenge from the Republican liberal wing from someone like Javits or Romney.

Would be interesting, but Dirksen irl was stricken mortally ill with cancer only seven months into what would be his hypothetical first term.

Obviously gonna get clean with Gene, but if he falls short - and I can't believe I'm saying this - I'm all in for Romney.

Holy s**t King lived. That's a whole nest of butterflies.

And as King goes, so do I. Rally with Romney!

It's highly, highly unlikely, but Romney/Chase Smith is my dream at this point.

I dont think Wallace would win NM , OK, or MO

Probably just a home turf boost from VP Campbell in NM's case, while OK and MO were still notoriously racist around 1968.

If I were alive and voting-eligible in this timeline, I wouldn't just be voting for Romney, I'd be campaigning my ass off for Romney.

This is the happiest I've ever been to hear the words "President Romney". Let's strike it up, folks.

You know, it's just occurred to me: does this mean Romney is going to get to destroy a nationally-hated Democrat in 1972? Because I'd love to see him mow down, say, John Sparkman.

Perhaps Romney could have gotten +500 if he picked Bill Scranton or somebody else. But if he did that he might not have gotten his big margins in New York or other places, or made history.

Worth it. The Dixiecrats can keep their backwaters.

Also, those 60+ and 70+ margins in Wyoming and Utah respectively are beautiful.

God, I can just see it now. The McGovern parallel, who I anticipate to be a Dixiecrat, blows the entire 1972 election by making some crass remark about the attempt on Brooke's life.

Also, proud member of the 69%. Nice.

Members of the 69%, full thoughts on the Romney/Brooke? administration thus far?

I think my favorite thing is his full-tilt charge for civil rights. After Wallace, it's immensely satisfying. Also, the nearly-immediate end of the Vietnam War.

I feel like my "Romney destroys an odious Dixiecrat in 1972" prediction is taking shape.

Also thank f**k Brooke survived.
