In my Watergate Burglars get caught TL, that nobody commented on, I stole the ending of that Jeff Greenfield novel and got Ted Kennedy in the White House. I had Hubert Humphrey get the 1976 Democratic nomination. I then had him not get cancer treatment and instead campaign energetically driven by adrenalin. He dies after the election. If his running mate did not have enough stature. Lets say it is failed presidential candidate and little known former governor Jimmy Carter. There would be a movement to have the electors vote for Ted Kennedy.
