2008 Predictions... just for the hell of it.

[Moooooo]

I know its a while off, but just for the hell of it lets do some SERIOUS predictions so we can look back 4 years from now, bump the thread, and say damn I was close or damn I was way off. (assuming we are still members)

*Pick a Presidential Candidate and Vice Presidential candidate for both parites and make a map.*

*President (both party's)
*Vice President (both party's)
*A map
*And if you want a little scenario type statement.


(P.S. Please, Please, Please only make ONE so the page doesnt get to cluttered with a bunch of bullsh**t maps.)

He might have meant maps that are at least slightly realistic.

[Moooooo]

Jfern, not to be a asshole or anything, but can you edit your post so the map doesnt show up.  I dont want maps all over the place on this thread.

His map does seem a little far-fetched, but its his opinion and he could paint the whole thing blue for all I care.  But your right, the idea of this thread was to make some realistic predictions and see who was the closest to predicting the outcome 4 years from now.

[Lt. Gov. Immy]

Bayh/Richardson- 51.2% 300 EV
Hagel/Owens- 47.6% 238 EV

[nini2287]

Feingold/Richardson defeats Allen/Owens 289-249

[AuH2O]

So "realistic" that everyone picks their own side to win...

[Jake]

Mark Sanford  (R) NC  302   53%
Rick Santorum (R) PA

Bill Richardson (D) NM 236  45%
Russ Feingold   (D) WI

[Sam Spade]

Mark Sanford  (R) NC  302   53%
Rick Santorum (R) PA

Bill Richardson (D) NM 236  45%
Russ Feingold   (D) WI



Swing States will be Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Iowa, and New Hampshire

Most realistic map so far, except Richardson probably wouldn't be able to swing Arizona, imo.

I also question whether a Sanford/Santorum ticket could swing Michigan.

[ian]

Just for the record, my opinion will probably change many times regarding who will be nominated, etc, but for now this is who I educated guesstifyingly suppose will be nominated from each party

For the Republicans, Frist (TN)/Pawlenty (MN)--(good picks NickshepDEM!)
For the Democrats, Pryor (AR)/Warner (VA)



If I HAD to say who the tossups would go to, I would say all to Frist/Pawlenty.
And NH, ME, PA, NJ, OH, IA, MI, WI, NM, HI, CO, FL, and NV are all lean states.

EV Total:
258: Frist/Pawlenty - 240: Pryor/Warner - 40: tossup
or
298: Frist Pawlenty - 240: Pryor/Warner

So "realistic" that everyone picks their own side to win...

Well, most probably will chose their side to win, but that doesnt mean their maps arent realistic.  When I said realistic I meant no maps like... Kucinich or Gingrich winning in an electoral sweep or something off the wall like that.  Its just for fun, its not like we are getting paid by Fox or CNN to be analyst here.

Ive talked to a couple people on different boards that either live in South Carolina or follow South Carolina politics and they say Sanford isnt all he is cracked up to be.  They say he hasnt done much of anything since he became Governor and the South Carolina GOP keep losing seats.  Anyone from South Carolina wanna' fill me in on how well he is doing down there?

Ernest said he's pretty much a lock for re-election. Check out the Gubernatorial board.

Rutzay,

Do you REALLY beleive that Gore could carry that many states after his repeated meltdowns?

[Moooooo]

Rutzay,

Gore would probably carry the Kerry 2004 states minus NH and a couple others.  Hes done.

[minionofmidas]

Just for the hell of it...okay, here goes.
Dem: Al Gore/Brad Henry 49.91%, 300 EVs
Rep: Dick Cheney/Bill Owens 48.81%, 238 EVs

[J.R. Brown]

Rutzay,

Do you REALLY beleive that Gore could carry that many states after his repeated meltdowns?

No, not REALLY, but just for the hell of it I gave it a shot. I really think Kerry has a better shot than Gore. But ya never know, some unforseen events could occur that would put Gore in the White House. I don't know what, though. I guess that's why they're unforseen. I admit that I may have been a little too hopeful with some of those state. OK, with a lot of those states.
