1) Kennedy will likely win the nomination. He has the fundraising, the campaign organization, charisma and is the most electable. Humphrey is in the same New Deal ideological mold as Johnson. Kennedy is not.
2) Kennedy v. Nixon: goes either way. Kennedy can take Indiana, New Jersey and Illinois. If Missouri and NC fall into his column, then he wins. If not, Nixon wins. Kennedy's blue-collar appeal (in Indiana Bobby won over vast numbers of Wallace voters) will help in the industrial states. Not to mention Kennedy is a very astute operator like Nixon, so expect some Rovianism on both sides. 3) In office: read my timelines Flight of Fate for 1968 and Resurrection City for 1976. Domestically, he's Bill Clinton's ideological mentor, as Clinton himself acknowledges. Not very different from Nixon on foreign policy, but will push for a healthcare plan similar to Nixon's CHIP. 4) Post-presidential: practicing law or teaching at Harvard. Kennedy's only 51 in 1977.
