Eh, given the Oil shock, the economic problems (which Nixon's RINO policies would not have done any better job on) I suspect a Dem would have won in 1976, but not the doddering ninny from Georgia; one with a better chance of keeping himself in office; could have been (shudder) Ted Kennedy. A lot would have been different without Watergate, Ted may have actually run.
But it's doubtful Ford would been the GOP candidate.... Maybe it would have been Reagan vs. Teddy Kennedy in 1976. That would've been a slugfest.
