So, I was reading the Wikipedia article about Arthur Bremer, the would-be assassin of George Wallace, for historical interest (by the way, his story, while nasty and dark, would make a great movie). Now, it's a matter of common knowledge (on AH.com, at least) that he first thought about killing Nixon, but was put off by security, but I discovered this, too: On May 7th, 1972, he wrote in his diary "Yesterday I even considered McGovern. I have to kill somebody."

What if he went through with killing George McGovern? How would the race pan out if he succeeded, or if McGovern was paralyzed? Thoughts?
