- Clinton/Gore (Democrat) 457 EV, 61 percent of two party vote
- Buchanan/Santorum (Republican) 81 EV, 39 percent of two party vote
Clinton would paint Buchanan's extreme social conservatism in such a manner as to landslide the liberal Pacific States - e.g. winning Polk and Yamhill Counties in Oregon by margins one would expect in urban Multnomah County. Buchanan's anti-immigration and social conservatism would be a winner in Appalachia, but he would lack the ability Bush junior had to appeal to rural America in the actual 2000 election, and in most of the northern tier and Alaska his social ultraconservatism would more than counter any appeals against gun control, except heavily Catholic ND.
