O'Reilly/ Hannity

Matthews/ Madcow

Dobbs/ Bloomberg

Here is what I think.

Using 2008 Ev's:

O'Reilly/Beck--238
Matthews/Olbermann--215
Dobbs/Cooper--85

No majority.  The election would be thrown into the HoR and decided there.  From there I think Matthews would be able to win the majority, but only if Dobbs drops out endorses him.

Dobbs wins big in the southwest due to his support of the immigration reform bill. He also does well in the libertarian and battleground states. Obama wins the democrat and left leaning battle ground states. The GOP wins the states that are usually a lock with the exception of a few small states that would easily swing with a more conservative/libertarian candidate. Florida votes Republican but barely due to its demographics. Maine goes for Dobbs and is led by  Snow and Collins. Vermont is too liberal even for Obama and votes for a 3rd party.
