In 1951 there was talk that if the GOP nominated Ike then the Democrats should do the same, but with a different running mate.

So what if this happened (maybe Taft dies earlier so Ike has smoother path to GOP nod).

I would guess the GOP still picks a conservative Nixon type to balance and the Democrats likely do the same from the left.

So maybe Ike/Nixon vs Ike/Stevenson

What would the impact be ? And what running mates might they pick (besides my two) ?
