Hillary Clinton/? vs John McCain/Rudy Guiliani

[MissCatholic]

Hillary Clinton is the current favorite to be the democratic nominee. If the Republicans nominated McCain and his vp was Guiliani how many electoral votes would Hillary get.

Hillary alone can carry



So i think she can get on her own 146 evs against McCain/Guiliani. I dont know whats going on in Hawaii at the moment so i have left it as a tossup. Wesley Clark, Ed Rendell, Bill Richardsson would all make good vps. But Hillary brings alot of money on the table and she needs someone else to soldify the liberal base. She is more popular in Ohio than in Michigan.

So if i was Hillary i would pick Feingold. Feingold comes from Wisconsin so its a certainty to vote for Clinton/Feingold by at least 2-3pts. More of the 1988 states would flock Hillarys way. By picking a maverick liberal with alot of credibility.

So the nomination of Feingold as her vp would make the map look like



Now this brings the ev total up to 210. Hillary and Bill would have to hammer eastern and western pa. Feingold would be sent to Iowa and Michigan. Hillary would have to do increbile well in the debates and McCain would probably make Hillary more electable as the debates would be nice and cosy. So hillary could win pa and mi. Feingold could help win Hillary Iowa. Ohio would be the real key to victory but i wouldnt say its impossible. The turnout from the right must be lower than 2004 as McCain and Guiliani are pro-choice. but this is the maximum that hillary can achieve. (reds my prediction, pinks vote for her at best)

McCain/McCain, and it would be landslide.

What if Hillary chose Bill Richardson as her vp? The hispanic vote looks pretty lucrative in swing states, especially ones with a large hispanic population like Colorado and New Mexico.

Also, McCain's not pro-choice.

Also, McCain's not pro-choice.

I was just thinking that myself. As far as I'm aware, he supports abortion in the cases of rape and incest. He gets a 0% rating from NARAL

McCain wanted Roe vs. Wade made irrelevant, but would not repeal it. (Aug 1999)
McCain favoured overturning Roe v. Wade, but keep incest & rape exceptions. (Jan 2000)

Hillary would get between 151 and 200 votes at best - but likelihood is Cain would enjoy a Bush(41) style victory, unless Demorats could convince moderates that McCain isn't really that moderate

Killary is mostly all hype when it comes to her chances to win in 2008.  Too many people (on all sides of the aisle) do not like her nor trust her.  A solid Moderate/Conservative could defeat her at the polls.  If McCain were to get the nomination for the Republicans, he will win in a "landslide," but I don't think he will have an overwhelming popular vote total over Killary, as many will vote third party.  Kinda like the 1992 election, only this time, a Clinton won't be the winner.
