Supposed to be "rather than one" right?
Interesting that Reagan's acceptance speech is basically the same as his OTL 1976 non-endorsement convention speech.

Supposed to be "rather than one" right?

Well it is certainly a brilliant speech (I read an alt-history book where he got the nomination in 1968 and gave the same speech.)
I think that he would've been better picking William Milliken, Governor of Michigan for the VP slot, ticks the same boxes as McCall, but isn't right on the Gipper's doorstep.
I agree with that. John Tower of Texas would be a likelier Reagan pick - he's from a big state and from a different part of the country which Reagan would do good to attract. And Tower would probably be a moderate at this point.
How does that speech work in 1968 without the references to the Bicentennial?
Those were probably taken out. It's still a quite good speech, even without it.
I do not know which of the two parties to support, I really like Jackson and Reagan 
Not Mecham/Rockwell?I do not know which of the two parties to support, I really like Jackson and Reagan
I would find it interesting that they won
biggrin:), but I would not vote for them. Maybe I look like one, but I'm not crazy! 
Every proper timeline has got to have nuts, and Mecham is the cashew of this particular mix

Evan Mecham and George Lincoln Rockwell? Holy shit. Have the Progressives run anybody?
Well Goldwater is more liberal on a lot of "social issues" for one thing
