Hi. Smiley

Speaking up as a member of the What-if board regulars (though I do not presume to be its representative) I'd like to state my appreciation of your interest in the What-if board, alternate scenarios and the like. The What-if community has been on the wane since my joining the forum, and "new blood" is always appreciated.

However, you seem to be getting ahead of yourself a bit in your participation here. Today alone, you have started five threads, some of which pertaining to the same election. Looking back to the bottom of the first page yields further threads started by you, and you account for roughly 43% (nearly half!) of threads on the first page.

There is also the matter of Alternative Elections elections, where you've posted an additional 8 threads (23%, not as egregious) and two more threads on the main forum (both of which misplaced and belonging in the Past US Election What-ifs board (which would make you fall just short of half of the threads posted.)

Additionally, some of the scenarios are a bit far-flung. Brown as Carter's VP? The ticket would have ~6 years of "legitimate" experience to it. Dukakis picking Jackson? Perhaps if the Electoral College was scored like golf. For the sake of brevity, I'll disregard issues with Dole picking Buchanan or Wilson.

Point being, that you have been turning this board into your own personal barf bag. Your enthusiasm is appreciated here, but I think I speak for the community when I ask that you tone it down with the thread creation for a few days. Smiley

I believe it wouldn't make any difference than in RL. Mondale might have carried MA. Ferraro was also from NY and Reagan still won with 8 percentage points. In my opinion there is no way for Mondale to carry the state of New York. He even won his native Minnesota by a margin of 2,000 votes.

I'm thinking Reagan wins 56-43.
