November 6, 1962

Nixon reached out to conservative Shell supporters, which strengthen him in the general election.

In a bitter and expensive campaign, Brown and Nixon campaigned with great energy and determination that's probably why Governor Brown reacted the way he did.

What the ???Brown said aloud to family and staff in his office Dick Nixon had defeated me

Nixon paced back and forth I never really expected to win I cant run for president in 1964 against jack with the Cuban missile crisis over, Kennedy is popular Democrats trounced Republicans all over the board.
Nixon's inauguration early 1963.
With his administration beginning in 1963.Nixon began his tenure as Governor.
Governor Nixon commuted no death sentences on death roll. He was credited as handling the watts riots very well.

But assuming ITTL Goldwater is nominated for POTUS by the G.O.P. in 1964, what does Nixon do? Sup-
port Goldwater as he did IOTL?

The reason I'm asking this question is- does Nixon becoming Governor of California cause him to actually take an @ least somewhat liberal course? Perhaps even align with Rockefeller? And NOT- as
he did IOTL- pursue the infamous southern strategy?

IOTL it was very likely that Nixon was using California as a launch pad for a race against JFK in 1964. If he defeats Brown, then Nixon probably runs in 1964 and he's probably nominated. But he'd lose in a landslide, and either Goldwater or Rockefeller is nominated in 1968.

Goldwater winning in 1968 as a result of Nixon running in 1964 is interesting in so many ways.
