Nunn would have lost Ohio, the Dakotas, and Michigan.

Nunn conspicuously refused to endorse McGovern in 1972.  He indicated at one point that he would write in George Wallace, and he told voters to go ahead and vote for the President and then go vote for him.  (Carter, in contrast to Nunn, gave a perfunctory endorsement of McGovern, saying he'd vote for him, but would not campaign for him.)  This posture would have cost him the votes of many McGovern voters who would have gravitated to the socially liberal/fiscally conservative Anderson.  (Anderson was also far more dovish on foreign policy than the hawkish Nunn.)
