1972 in an RFK Presidency
I know this has likely been done before, but I want specific, targeted responses. In my annual Space Race simulation, it is 1971, and I know we'll get to the '72 election this session. Against all odds, RFK won the election in '68.
Differences from OTL include a real drawdown in Vietnam--probably withdrawal by 1972 rather than resurgence of the air war. Also, the Space Race is tighter--the Soviets landed on the moon in October 1969, so space budgets are accordingly bigger.
Who will Kennedy be running against in '72? Also, who is Kennedy's running mate in '68? Will he swap in '72?
Thanks!
