I'd been thinking recently about my rough idea of a JFK lives TL -- I know I like this much:

John F Kennedy (D) 1961-68
Nelson Rockefeller (R) 1969-75
Edward Brooke (R) 1975-80


... and then a Democrat wins in 1980. My question is -- aside from Robert Kennedy, who would be the leading candidates? With no full Vietnam War, nor the experience of an LBJ administration, plus 12 years of moderate to liberal Republican governance, who'd the Dems be most liky to turn to?
