[Dixie Reborn]

Discuss with maps.

Oh ... oh my God.  Would it be the worst election ever?  It certainly would for me.  I need more time to think of a map...

[Boston Bread]

Basically Obama 2012.

Santorum was running against a much better opponent in that race.

Santorum also thinks that people should put away their condoms.

[Flake]

This is tough. I like both and neither. I think De Blasio would probably pull it out with an outside possibility of a landslide. I'd probably lean towards him.

E: 9.38, S: 3.85

[DS0816]

Would Rick Santorum try to court the LGBT vote?

[King]

55-44 DeBlasio win

[NHI]

Good god, what a choice!
De Blasio wins, probably around the same margins as Obama 52-46, and I vote write-in!

[Maxwell]

De Blasio has my vote. Santorum loses 45-53 for De blasio, possibly worse.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Santorum wins fairly easily. De Blasio's extensive ties to Sharpton and Socialist activists weren't holding him back in New York, but good luck trying to sell that in Ohio, Florida, and Virginia.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

308  50%-230 47%

[Mister Mets]

I'd give De Blasio an edge. He's tall and relatively media-savvy. Santorum has less of a filter, plus his negatives offset De Blasio's.

If Greg Orman's Senator, he would announce his presidential bid in September.

Given De Blasio's constant response to his administration's scandals being "Shut up and stop talking about it", I think he'd flame out really fast in a Presidential race.

But yeah, the odds are heavy that Orman, King, Bloomberg, or a centrist candidate from either party jump into the race as an independent.

[Emperor Charles V]

Oh God. I can see the Libertarian candidate (Johnson/Paul) or a credible third party candidate (maybe Jesse Ventura, for a REALLY strange election, or maybe even Bloomberg to have two mayors go at it) getting over 20% of the vote in this scenario, and possibly even winning a state. But seriously, this matchup is literally a libertarian's worst nightmare!

[Jerseyrules]

Dear God, we might see Bloomberg run third party and then its 3 populist autocrats

[Goldwater]

I'd vote Libertarian.
