What if Richard Nixon in 1962 was elected Governor of California?


  • Would he have ran for president again in 1964 (would he have been the front-runner) or would he wait until 1968?
  • Could he have been re-elected in 1966?
  • What happens to Ronald Reagan's political career with Nixon as California's governor and running for re-election in 1966?
  • How does Nixon deal with the growing counter culture in places like Berkley? Any different from Brown and Reagan in OTL?
  • Would he have liked being a governor considering he would have had to deal with domestic policies much more than foreign affairs (which is what he paid more attention to during his career)?
