Hard to create, perhaps, but a thought experiment. Smathers was the Senator from Florida, and a close friend of John Kennedy's. Like Kennedy, he was young, charming, but also womanizing. However, he was also a Dixiecrat. So perhaps he could be said to be JFK with a little spice of LBJ and Dixiecratic Southerness to him.

So what if Smathers was the President during the 1960s? How would he deal with issues such as Civil Rights, Vietnam, Space, the Arms Race, Counter Culture, and so forth?
