In late 1975, Senator Ed Muskie of Maine announces his intentions to run for the 1976 Democratic Nomination. After a tough primary campaign with Jimmy Carter, Mo Udall and George Wallace, Senator Muskie wins the Democratic Nomination. For Vice President, Senator Muskie selects respected former Governor of North Carolina Terry Sanford.

Like in RL, the Republican Primaries are the same with President Ford narrowly winning the 1976 GOP Nomination over former Governor of California, Ronald Reagan. President Ford selects Senator Bob Dole of Kansas to be his running mate.

How would this election turn out? Discuss with maps.

id just like to say that my son's middle name is 'sanford'.  named after the late, great terry sanford...a personal hero of mine.

That's pretty cool.

And incase you guys didn't know, if JFK wasn't assassinated in Dallas on November 22 1963, Kennedy would have probably selected Governor Sanford to be his running mate in '64. Who knows if Kennedy didn't die, Sanford could have become President.

Could someone please make a map.
