just read an essay by Neil Stockley in - Prime Minister Boris and other things that never happened (great read, strongly recommended)

says nixon wouldve probably been more successful than kennedy, Bay of Pigs would have had greater military support, and would probably have suceeded. Greater build up in vietnam earlier.

in 1964 he would almost certainly have faced hubert humphrey, Johnson was happy in the senate, and probably the most successful senate leader in american history, he wouldnt have jeapordised that by running again

'68 would be interesting, bobby kennedy would have been able to get the nomination, but still not sure who he'd be up against
