One: There was some discussion of LBJ retaking the nomination in July and August due to Hubert's "softness". Plan was kiboshed after Hizzonor said LBJ had to publicly declare and Connally revealed ghastly Southern polling numbers. WI LBJ changed his mind? Perhaps he stems the reaction "now that Bobby's safely buried" by picking Ted as his VP?

Two: LBJ doesn't withdraw, and he beats RFK 60-40% in delegates (corresponding with OTL March projections). What happens next? I cannot see an incumbent President being directly defeated in a convention vote.
