Regardless of whether he's the incumbent Vice President or not, Gerald Ford would probably be talked into running by the GOP establishment, as he'd be the only candidate who could stop Reagan and be acceptable to a wider swath of the party.

If he isn't in prison and is still the incumbent, Agnew is pretty much a non-factor. The GOP establishment hated him, and Reagan, if he runs, takes away the conservative lane from him. His best chance would be hoping Reagan doesn't run.

Democrats would probably nominate Ted Kennedy in this scenario. Chappaquiddick sinks Kennedy against Ford or Reagan, but Kennedy beats Agnew.
