Nixon manages to squeeze by Kennedy in 1960, winning the election by a similar margin to what he lost it by (razor thin). In 1963, he gets assassinated by Oswald (we will ignore all conspiracy theories for this discussion, and except tha Oswald was just a lone nut). This leaves Lodge as President.
What happens? Would Lodge be able to capitalize on the Nixon sympathy like LBJ did? What parts of Nixon's policies might Lodge pursue? Lodge was a supporter for better civil rights, which likely had cost the ticket some support in the south. Its not unlikely that he might pursue a similar goal as LBJ did (though with different approaches).
PS, Nixon's presidency between 61-63 are open for speculation as eell, but lets focus on Lodge if possible.
