Following the inimitable @Mumby is, well, not something to try and top (especially when you're picking up after the words "thoroughly Bolshevised Democratic Party." The only response to that is slow clapping.) But on his principle of revisiting old ideas, a little shameless promotion for my TL The Main Event: here's the Presidents' list for it.

Richard M. Nixon (R-NY)/Claude R. Kirk (R-FL) 1969-73
1968 def. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-MN)/Robert F. Kennedy (D-NY) George C. Wallace (AIP-AL)/Gen. Curtis E. LeMay (ret.) (AIP-CA)
With a hung electoral college and Nixon just short, he does a deal with Wallace for Wallace's legally unbound Louisiana electors (yes Nixon does use his New York residency for filing purposes)
