The first POD is that George H. W. Bush narrowly wins the 1964 Texas Senatorial Election, meaning he is larger figure on the national stage and a small contender for the nomination in 1968. The second POD is that Reagan wins the Republican nomination in 1968 after Nixon fails to win the first ballot, and he goes on to choose the moderate senator George H. W. Bush as his running mate. The third POD is that George Wallace, for whatever reason, decides not to run in the election. Perhaps feeling he can't run a successful campaign with a staunch conservative on the GOP ballot.
Ronald W. Reagan | George H. W. Bush | 390 EV
Hubert H. Humphrey | Edmund S. Muskie | 147 EV
How will things progress from here?
