1. Bobby could have won

Given another week, the way the campaign was going, Hubert could have won. He got a late start convincing Johnson to do the bombing halt, and lots of money problems for campaign ads. He also faced very vocal antiwar hecklers at every stop, because he was the Vice-President.

Nixon's plan was to run a flat campaign start to finish without a peak, and utilize the Southern strategy. So he started in front and did a steady slide until the election. It almost backfired.
