What if Lee Harvey Oswald had assassinated Vice President Johnson instead of President Kennedy? Who would Kennedy choose to replace him, and what impact would there be for the Kennedy Administration and the 1964 elections?
 
I can't imagine that Kennedy would micromanage Vietnam more than LBJ. How is the war affected by more effective bombing vs. more collateral damage stories on TV?
Probably the anti war movement is smaller but the members are more motivated on average.

Why would Oswald shoot LBJ first? JFK was his primary target.

Maybe they put the top on President Kennedy's car or Oswald misses his shot opportunity. Oswald decides that he's already committed so much, and decides to target Vice President Johnson instead.
