Part of the reason Nixon picked Ford as his VP after Agnew resigned was because he lacked political capital as the Watergate investigations were proceeding. Ford was more or less his only option.
What if Watergate hadn't happened (either there's no break-in or the folks don't get caught) and Nixon got Connally as his Veep, making him the Republican nominee in 1976?
Who'd be the VP to Connally? Howard Baker? Gerald Ford?
