Some other ponderances-

Without Johnson to appoint him as Vice President, Hubert Humphrey would've stayed in the Senate, thus depriving Walter Mondale of a Senate seat.

Would Mondale have then run in 1970 when Eugene McCarthy retired?

Without Mondale to pick as VP (he probably wouldn't have gone with a one-term senator), who would Carter have gone for in 1976-Ted Kennedy? Fritz Hollings?

Without instant name recognition for the 1984 elections, would Gary Hart or John Glenn have the 84 nominees? Would Geraldine Ferraro still be in Congress? Would a women have been picked in a later election as a running mate?
