What inspired me to create this thread is the faithless elector from Virginia casting a vote for Lloyd Bentsen. In OTL, Bentsen did not seek the nomination at all during the primaries or the convention in 1988. Perhaps the POD could be some dire circumstance happening to Michael Dukakis, forcing him to concede the nomination? Would the nomination go to Jesse Jackson or Bentsen (that's where I am unsure)? I've always been interested in seeing an election where the Democratic and Republican nominees are from the same home states. I think the best Vice Presidential candidate Bentsen could select is Senator John Glenn of Ohio. Any ideas? Thoughts?
