So this is for a potential upcoming timeline I might do. It will depict the societal repercussions of RFK not being assassinated and going on to assume the presidency. The first major repercussions are the butterflying of the Nixon Administration and the Dems holding the White House from 1960 to 1976. The TL will probably run from 1968 to 2012, ending with the 2012 Election (so no spoiler on that one).
A few notable changes I want to have happen overtime is for there to be a few notably blue states. Missouri and West Virginia become/remain Dem states and Idaho, Texas, Kentucky, and California remain swing states. In the '90s, New York leans purple but goes solidly Democrat starting in the mid 2000s.
Here is a list of Presidential Elections. Any criticisms you may have will be very helpful!
1968: NY(D)Sen Bobby Kennedy(341 - 44.6%)/CA(R)VP Dick Nixon(152 - 43.2%)/Wallace(45 - 8.9%)
1972: NY(D)Pres Bobby Kennedy(379 - 49.6%)/NY(R)Gov Nelson Rockefeller(179 - 44.9%)
1976: CA(R)Gov Ronald Reagan(284 - 46.6%)/OK(D)VP Fred Harris(254 - 45.9%)
1980: MA(D)Sen Ted Kennedy(401 - 51.1%)/CA(R)Pres Ronald Reagan(137 - 42.7%)
1984: MA(D)Pres Ted Kennedy(438 - 53.3%)/ID(R)Sen Bob Dole(100 - 45.4%)
1988: OH(D)VP John Glenn(342 - 48.9%)/TX(R)John Connally(196 - 46.2%)
1992: OH(D)Pres John Glenn(274 - 47.2%)/DE(R)Gov Pierre du Pont(264 - 45.8%)
1996: NY(R)Speaker Jack Kemp(312 - 47.6%)/CO(D)Sen Gary Hart(179 - 44.9%)
2000: NY(R)Pres Jack Kemp(404 - 50.2%)/TN(D)Sen Al Gore(134 - 46.8%)
2004: CA(D)Gov Jerry Brown(346 - 47.2%)/AZ(R)Sen John McCain(192 - 45.3%)
2008: CA(D)Pres Jerry Brown(295 - 46.5%)/MA(R)Sen Susan Collins(243 - 45.9%)
2012: UT(R)Sen Mitt Romney & NC(D)Gov John Edwards(MAYBE)
Additional info: The Dems dominate the House of Reps until the Republicans take it in 1994, with Jack Kemp being the Minority Leader and then House Speaker. The Repubs and Dems on again, off again.
Also, Dems are red and Repubs are blue in the coding thanks to a difference in how politics is approached with Reagan winning the nom in the 70s instead.
