Imagine if George Wallace wins the Democratic Gubernatorial Primary in 1958 (and not "out-niggered" as he thought it) and becomes governor as a moderate, loved by whites and blacks.
Let's also imagine that JFK narrowly loses in 1960 but makes a comeback in 1968 (like OTL Nixon), and takes Wallace, a popular Deep Southerner, as his VP pick. How do you think this ticket would fare against the Republican ticket (assuming Civil Rights and Vietnam go like OTL)?
How about 1976? I think that if the JFK/Wallace ticket wins in 1968, the VP spot would be the perfect springboard for a Wallace Presidency until 1985 (assuming Iran's peaceful, though).
