Switch McGovern and Eagleton's mental health

Make McGovern be depressed in the 60s and have shock treatment while Eagleton has nothing wrong with his mental health. How will that effect the primaries and the election?

Humphrey gets shoved on the ballot (since he's already a has-been). Teddy K. as VP. Nixon, since he has to face a strong ticket, boots Spiro off and gives his slot to Stassen, Rockefeller, or Ed Brooke. Fibbies much less reluctant to spill the beans on Watergate. Election a toss up. If Nixon wins, he resigns in 6 months.
