WI LBJ died in '64

If Johnson died of a heart attack in February 1964, presumably McCormack doesn't seek the Presidency. Would this mean a President Goldwater, Rockefeller, Kennedy or Humphrey? Consequences in Vietnam, at home, etc.
 
The Republicans wouldn't have nominated Rockefeller because of his divorce and Goldwater would have lost to the Democratic candidate in 1964 who would probably have been Humphrey.
 
Humphrey would probably have been nominated at would have won. The welfare and civil rights legislation would have gone ahead. The Vietnam war may well have also strated as the special forces were already there. Possibly Humphrey would have avoided The Gulf of Tonking incident
 
Conspiracy theorists are going to go even more wild than OTL with Kennedy and Johnson dying within a year of each other. That should provide some interesting results...

As others have said, the Democrats almost certainly win the election.
