Wow! I was googling to find a pix of LBJ with long hair & found an old DU thread from 2004

[graham4anything]

12. If LBJ preservered, Bobby never would have entered the race(fact)and been alive in 1972(hope)

McCarthy would not have long term prevailed. It wouldn't have happened, but Bobby only ran once LBJ dropped out

(and LBJ should have come back after Bobby died. I loved HHH but he was not as strong as LBJ and by then the fracture left HHH with all the baggage anyhow and it showed/hurt him.

I would have loved to see LBJ/Nixon run against each other

We never actually have gotten two titans at the same time running against each other

Never did Reagan go vs. Teddy
(wish Teddy had run any other year but 1980, and/or wish somehow Teddy became Carter's VP and the two ran togehter. Teddy then could have won in 1984 and 1988.

But based on what we know now (or is it now know) LBJ could have beated Nixon head to head. LBJ knew how to win.

And RFK would still be alive to run in 1972 and 1976.

And perhaps the one bad in Teddy's life would not have occurred either.

(and we will get the two titans in 2016 for the soul of the country(Hillary/Jeb).
Would have been something to see President Obama cream a bush himself, but he was too chickenspit to run this time but this another thread).
