Clinton vs. Walker map...

Please post your maps!

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

268 to 223, 47 tossups.

[Thomas D]

Clinton 285-253

[ElectionsGuy]

I'm thinking something like this:

278-260 Clinton win. Closest states are (in order): Ohio, North Carolina, Iowa, Wisconsin, Florida, Virginia, and Colorado.

[MATTROSE94]

[Suburbia]

I could see something like this:

[pbrower2a]

How does anyone know that the 2016 election will be free and fair?

[Bull Moose Base]

Really similar to Any Democrat vs. Any Republican

[Ljube]

Clinton vs Walker map. I think quite realistic.

I don't think that Walker can win in Virginia, but he might carry Wisconsin instead and win the election. He could also forfeit Colorado and still win in the House of Representatives.

Stop the Florida doom, Crist actually had a higher percentage than Obama pretty much everywhere from Lee county up to St. Petersburg and Broward up to Brevard. The culprit was drop off, not Scott winning any Obama voters whatsoever. Crist underperformed in Hillsborough, Dade, Orange, Osceola and Duval. That will not happen in a presidential year and Florida is a strong bet to be the state that sends Hillary to the WH.

I'm so glad that someone who was a Republican governor 4 years ago slightly outran Obama in some counties against the nation's worst governor. /sarcasm

[New_Conservative]

Scott Walker (Republican) - 278 electoral votes
Hilary Clinton (Democrat) - 260 electoral votes

Well the GOP will need to find more votes either from Hispanics or two time Obama voters in order to win the state. It's not easy job in a presidential year.

That's very cute Simfan. Now if you want to see a good prediction, see mine up above.

Narrow Clinton victory:

[Goldwater]

I could see something like this:

[Cory]

People are overestimating Walker. He doesn't have a wand he can wave and just take the Midwest with it.

[Rockefeller GOP]

I'll say first of all, I'm a little more confident in the possibility of a Republican victory in 2016, but I don't see Walker as the guy.

However, let's say Kasich somehow gets the nomination ... I honestly think he could pull this off in a good environment:

[Krago]

Dumb question: Is there any realistic chance that Hillary Clinton could win Arkansas?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I think you're vastly overrating Kasich there. Also, if there's anything we know now after the past few years, Mid-terms tell you pretty much nothing about the following Presidential.

[Lief 🗽]

One thing with Walker is that he's really not a presidential-quality speaker. He's very Pawlenty-esque when it comes to charisma and speechifying. Vox has a good article about this: http://www.vox.com/2014/11/7/7170671/scott-walker-2016-president

[Mister Mets]

In a neutral environment, Clinton could be vulnerable to the third term curse, losing to the relative newcomer just like Gore and McCain.

Walker/ Rice- 273 Electoral Votes
Clinton/ Bennet- 266 Electoral Votes

In a favorable environment for Democrats, Clinton could do well.

Clinton/ Bullock- 314 Electoral Votes
Walker/ Martinez- 224 Electoral Votes

But it could also be a change election, with a weak Clinton campaign and a bad environment for Democrats.

Walker/ Huntsman- 331 Electoral Votes
Clinton/ Castro- 207 Electoral Votes

The running mates are likely to have minimal impact. I'm just picking individuals who seem to pair well with Clinton and Walker.

[TJ in Oregon]

The blandness charge may end up being his defeat, but is it possible to be both bland and divisive at the same time? "He's too bland to get anyone excited or notice him" and "He's such a divisive lightning rod that no swing voter will consider him" are wildly different charges. I'm not really sure which is his problem but it's hard to be both.
