I attempted, quickly, a map for Kennedy/Jackson in '60. I'm woefully and admittedly ignorant of Scoop Jackson, I believe because I just write him off as a cliche now, so forgive any signs of that. I gave the Democrats the west coast, and the states in the west that were close but went to Nixon, gave Nixon in return more southern states

274 Kennedy (its 275 on the map, but 1 faithless elector in Oklahoma*)
213 Nixon
50 Byrd
*If the election goes the same there.
I'm pretty sure Nixon wasn't going to lose his home state of California no matter who Jack had as his runnning mate. Although, with that being said, Gore lost his home state of Tennessee in 2000, so it's possible; but in 1960, highly unlikely.
