Richard Nixon had a close run in 1960, however didn't decide to run in 1964. He would end up running in 1968 and winning. But what if he managed to be nominated in 1964 instead of declining? Let's say he had won the California governorship instead of Pat Brown, so was more confident. The butterflies from this don't end up changing the Kennedy assassination, so it's Johnson vs Nixon. Who does Nixon choose as his running mate?

In this scenario I'm not saying that Nixon would win the election. I'm wondering that if he beat Johnson or lost to him, how that might affect the major players of both parties and the next election?
