Wow, this post has to be a joke.
Carter probably still wins entire South, plus Virginia but minus Alabama and Texas.
Uh, no. I doubt Carter would even win his home state of Georgia in today's Republican south. Certainly not Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kentucky, West Virginia, or Tennessee. Might have a shot in Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida.
Nevada is the swing state. No way Carter takes Arizona.
The only sense you make at all.
If Minnesota voted for Clinton, why on Earth would it not vote for Carter? You clearly have a theory of "nearby states" voting for favorite sons that doesn't hold up in the current electorate. Gore couldn't even win Tennessee for Pete's sake.
As a long-time resident of the Florida panhandle, this is the most ridiculous statement of your entire theory! Solid Republican country, and the state of Florida would hardly be Dem. territory (very swingy, at best).
