I thought this might make an interesting scenario.

RFK and MLK are not assassinated in 1968, and RFK goes on to lost the Democratic Nomination to Humphrey at the Convention. Nixon is elected. RFK is widely expected to run in 1972 but doesn't, and Nixon wins re-election aganist George McGovern in a landslide. Watergate never happens, and Nixon is leaving office as a fairly popular President, but the Vietnam War doesn't look set to end anytime soon. RFK has announced that he will contest the Democratic Nomination in 1976. MLK has announced that he will run as an Independent.

Candidates:

Republicans:

Vice President Spiro Agnew of Maryland
House Minority Leader Gerald Ford of Michigan
Governor Ronald Reagan of California
Governor John Connally of Texas
Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona (Off)
Senator Bob Dole of Kansas (Off)

Democrats:

Senator Robert F. Kennedy of New York
Governor Jimmy Carter of Georgia
Governor George Wallace of Alabama
Governor Jerry Brown of California
Representative Morris Udall of Arizona
Senator Henry M. Jackson of Washington
Senator Lloyd Bentsen of Texas
Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts (Off)

Independent:

Reverend Martin Luther King of Georgia

I don't think MLK had political ambitions.
