Spun off from a number of my previous threads... President McGovern and Any Democrat but Carter '76 primarily. The fascinating prospect of the two men who lost to Richard Nixon teaming up for a bit of a 'revenge ticket' upon his fall from grace.
But yes, pretty simple thought and idea. How do they run? How do they do in the general election? Does Ford still pick Dole? How's the Humphrey presidency look? Does Humphrey die as early as OTL, or gain a few years? Does the revelation of his cancer help or hurt him? Does Humphrey stick around until his death or retire early? What's McGovern like finishing Humphrey's term? How does President McGovern do in 1980? What are their legacies like today?
