Kennedy/Smathers vs. Rockefeller/Reagan vs. Wallace/LeMay-1968

[Robespierre's Jaw]

The people in Indiana will remember being comforted by Bobby when Martin Luther King Jr. was killed. Remember he announced King's death at a rally in Indianapolis. Missouri was close also in 1968 and Wallace helps Kennedy there.

Bobby Kennedy would not have won Indiana regardless of telling a group of supporters in Indianapolis that Martin Luther King Junior died. Remember Nixon did win Indiana by a big margin over HHH and Wallace in RL 1968: 50-37-11, so I doubt Nixon would lose Indiana to RFK in this scenario.

Arkansas and especially Lousiana would not have voted for RFK. In Lousiana, Wallace defeated his closest opponent Hubert Humphrey by 20 points.

I could go on for hours explaining why your map is incredibly wrong Mr. Porter but I won't. I will conclude by saying this map is incredibly flawed.

Robert F. Kennedy/George S. Smathers (D): 274 EV, 43% of the PV
Nelson A. Rockefeller/Ronald W. Reagan (R): 187 EV, 42% of the PV
George C. Wallace/Curtis E. LeMay (I): 53 EV, 13% of the PV
Others (Socialist, Freak Power, ect): 0 EV, 2% of the PV

Robert F. Kennedy defeats Nelson Rockefeller and George Wallace in this matchup. Pennsylvania and Florida go to Robert Kennedy narrowly, had Rockefeller picked up anyone or both of those states the Election would have went to the House.

Rockefeller whups the arrogant upstart interloper from Massachusetts, who thinks he is entitled to the Presidency.

Rockefeller/Reagan                 353
Kennedy/Smathers                 119
Wallace/LeMay                          66

Winfield, back when I was young and naive, I used to believe you created good maps. This now proves that you don't, atleast in my mind. You are misunderestimating the power of a Kennedy, especially Bobby Kennedy. I highly doubt that he would do worse than what Old Hube did in RL (but that's another scenario and this is a different one). Please explain.

Mitt Romney didn't need a big brother handing him a plum political appointment on a silver platter, as Robert Kennedy evidently did. 

Mitt Romney needed a golden platter .

George Smathers?  What does Gporter randomly surf Wikipedia for new people for his timeline?

DWTL, he dosen't believe in Wikipedia, citing that anybody can change it.

You still are.

How so? I admit I am young, considering I'm 15 now but I have gained a fair bit of experience on this forum.

Let me alter my reply slightly.

No Winfield, let me alter my reply. If I'm young and naive, you must be a Republican hack .
