Televangelist Pat Robertson (R-VA) / Congressman Jack Kemp (R-NY) ✓
Activist Jesse Jackson (D-SC) / Senator John Glenn (D-OH)
America was in a pretty far-right mood at the time. The religious right was reaching the peak of its power and foreign policy was aggressive- not the time to propose allowing Palestine to exist. If nothing else, Robertson could dog-whistle with the Willie Horton incident. To anyone who thinks Jesse Jackson would deliver the South, how could he if the only flip Obama got with supercharged African American turnout was North Carolina? The only reason I'm giving him Massachusetts and Rhode Island is because I assume the Catholics there would be annoyed enough by Robertson to allow Jackson a narrow victory on the strength of minorities and liberals.
While all of the above eclipses this minor point, Jackson was also just a repackaged New Dealer at the end of the day, and trying to keep that coalition going was what cost the Democrats the '80s. If his race or his lack of theocratic impulses didn't do him in, it would be his electoral strategy.
