AH Challenge: President Robert Redford

With a POD of no earlier than 1970, elect Robert Redford (D-CA) President of the United States. Double points if he goes from the California governorship to the Presidency by 1980, and triple points if he faces and defeats Ronald Reagan for the White House.
 
Redford, a liberal Democrat, receives the CA-8 congressional nomination in 1972. After serving three terms in the House he is elected Senator from California in 1978 and re-elected in 1984. In 1988 he defeats Vice President Donald Rumsfeld having selected Lloyd Bentsen as his running mate and serves two terms as POTUS. :cool:
 
Is this where someone brings up "The Candidate" starring Robert Redford who runs as Democrat for Governor of California and gets elected. All you need is a sequel :D
