As a paternal descendant of one of America's richest oligarchs and a maternal one of America's most conservative senators. You wouldn't be alone if you would think that the young Rocky would follow suit with his ancestors.
Nelson A. Rockefeller is currently the popular, hands on Governor of New York State, and has assumed the position since 1959. He has championed a series of liberal policies such as increasing the state's role in education, environmental protection, transportation, housing, welfare, medical aid, civil rights, and the arts. So much so that he became leader of a faction of republicans known as \"Rockefeller Republicans\" and he intends to bring them to greatness this election.
Rocky goes into this election with alot of great aspects backing him on. His easy going persona and moderate values make him an incredibly palatable choice for many Americans. His tenure as New York's governor has also been widely applauded for its emphasis on helping the lower classes, something peculiar coming from the descendants of billionares. Due to his personal and family riches, money will not be an issue this campaign, and Rocky holds a large amount of sway in the Republican Party, something which he can use to his advantage in gaining a leg up in certain states.
Unfortunately for Rockefeller, not everything is peaches and cream for his election campaign. His less than amicable divorce to Mary Todhunter Clark in 1962 still hangs over Rocky like a storm cloud, and it nearly cost him the nomination if not for a last-second passionate speech from Connecticut's Prescott Bush saving his prospects in the California Primary. The 1964 RNC this year was especially ugly, with Rocky's main opponent, Arizona's conservative senator Barry Goldwater still feeling bitter about the primaries. Things that Rockefeller is gonna need to make amends with or risk destroying his wing of the GOP.
Rocky is not expected to win this election, but instead make a good showing, which should be easy considering his credentials. But you never know, anything could happen.","color_hex":"#a3102e","secondary_color_hex":null,"is_active":1,"image_url":"https://i.imgur.com/DBoxE9T.png","electoral_victory_message":"

You can hardly believe what you see on the T.V as Walter Cronkite announces that George Wallace successfully denied both you and Johnson an electoral majority.
Suprisingly enough, even though Democrats hold both the House and Senate, many of those congressmen supported Wallace, so Johnson will have to strike a deal with either you or Wallace. But that doesn't take away from the fact that you managed your campaign so well that you denied Johnson an electoral majority. So, take pride in that! Sources say that Goldwater is making early manuevers to try and secure the 1968 Nomination, but because you've done so well, and as such rejuvinated your wing of the party, perhaps you could make so deals so that the nomination falls for somebody you find more appealing, like Romney.
Anyways, it's time to go home to New York City and relax for a bit, this whole campaign took alot of you.","description_as_running_mate":null,"candidate_score":1,"running_mate":false,"scrollable":false}},{"model":"campaign_trail.candidate","pk":8843,"fields":{"first_name":"Eric","last_name":"Hass","election":4,"party":"Socialist","state":"New York","priority":1,"description":"description for Hass","color_hex":"#6e133a","secondary_color_hex":null,"is_active":0,"image_url":"https://i.imgur.com/DBoxE9T.png","electoral_victory_message":"REAL PATRIOT DUMMY EXAMPLE SWEEPS

James Allen Rhodes is currently the newly elected governor of Ohio, and would be a surprise to many of your supporters, who expected you to choose a more liberal man for your VP. Regardless, Rhodes is a good pick, who's recent gubernatorial campaign centered on \"Jobs and Progress\" Rhodes would certainly help your electability this election and would tithe back a lot of conservatives disgusted by your win. Rhodes would also no doubt help you in the midwest and Ohio itself, which is always key to any electoral victory.
While Rhodes would bring back conservatives, he would be the reason why some of your more moderate-liberal supporters would possibly leave your campaign, which should be sorted out quite quickly. Rhodes and his gubernatorial opponent Frank Lausche also fought a nasty campaign two years ago, something that would come up on the campaign trail at some point. So make sure you have a good rebuttal for it.

\"The glory of politics, if it comes at all, is short-lived. Its rewards come only from the successful accomplishment of a basic purpose.\"
Paul Jones Fannin is the current governor of Arizona, and is beloved by his state. Choosing Fannin as your Vice-President would no doubt be an extraordinary choice signaling what direction you want this campaign to go. Fannin would assauge the fears of conservatives nationwide that you would be nothing more than just an establishment stooge for Liberal America™ he would also severely dampen any southern splinter run even if he is pretty pro civil rights. Fannin would also cement your status in the mountain states, which are awfully close this year unfortunately.
Even though Fannin would technically unite the party, he would no doubt be an incredibly controversial running mate. He would turn off large portions of your base, who would risk staying home if you choose him. Another reason is that while you and Fannin dont really have a relationship, you do have one with Fannin's predecessor, Goldwater, and we all know how that is right now. Fannin's voting record also does not bode well with yours, with Fannin defending right-to-work laws in Arizona and in other states.
So, if you want to shake up the race and unite the party in the face of near annihilation, then choose Fannin.","color_hex":"#0000ff","secondary_color_hex":null,"is_active":0,"image_url":"https://i.imgur.com/sKz21mn.png","electoral_victory_message":"
