Could [STATE] go [PARTY] in 2016?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I will say this, Vermont could be closer then expected depending on the candidates.

No state is libertarian. Libertarianism is a fringe ideology supported by at very best just 10% of the country.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Indeed, Alaska is not a "libertarian state". It has a strong independent tilt, so I can see the state voting for a strong independent presidential candidate, assuming said candidate enjoys Perotesque levels of support at the latter's prime.

Otherwise, it's still a Republican stronghold in presidential races.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Can we not?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Does the Contsitution Party even exists anymore?

Haven't seen any C avatar in a while

With so many green OK avatars anything is possible.

Discuss with maps.

[Simfan34]

Yes of course.

[Simfan34]

If democrats spent all their GOTV money on getting democrats to move to Wyoming, maybe. It'd be the free state movement in reverse.

They should try that, a mere 200k-300k would be enough for those sorts of states.

[Dixie Reborn]

Yes. Mechaman will commit massive voter fraud; thanks Obama.

[Pessimistic Antineutrino]

Maps? Ok.

Maps.

OMG! A hilarious new maymay! Let me tweet this! #GreenOklahomalol

[SNJ1985]

I wish the entire country would.

[KCDem]

Since they can't even get ballot access, I would say no

[Niemeyerite]

The Governor-elect of Alaska is Bill Walker. He's the opposite of what libertarianism is.

[IceSpear]

No, but West Virginia will.

[MATTROSE94]

The only way that it could happen would be if the Republicans nominate a fairly liberal ticket like Charlie Baker/Larry Hogan and if the Democrats nominate a conservative ticket such as Zell Miller/Jim Cooper. Even then, Vermont might still be pretty close.

[Rockefeller GOP]

It could of course happen, is the Democratic nominee is revealed to be a pedophile or a murderer.

Or if the parties changes places within the next two years, and the GOP becomes the party of northeastern liberals and the Democrats turn into the party of conservative white southerners.

Even if that happened, the parties would not be switching places.  Two voting blocs would simply change their allegiances.  No political parties have ever done something as ridiculously simple as "switch places" in the history of the world.

[Abraham Reagan]

As nice as that would be, it's almost certainly not going to happen. A state doesn't go for one party by a 36 point margin in one election and then switch parties in the next election. I also think the Chris Christie argument isn't solid. I'm assuming that you say Christie has a shot in Vermont because he's from the Northeast and is moderate, but if that's the case, why didn't Romney carry Vermont in 2012? Race/region aren't the only factors that affect peoples' vote.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

Yes, this is how it could work:

Paul: 35%
Clinton: 34%
Sanders: 30%

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

No, but West Virginia will.

So will Kentucky (and Illinois).

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Socialist Alternative is looking at some sort of cooperation with the Greens and other progressive groups for 2016--if Bernie doesn't run in the general as an Independent, I have a hunch the nomination will go to Howie Hawkins.

[JerryArkansas]

Yeah it will, just like Arkansas will vote for the great leader of Darkness Cthulhu.

[IceSpear]

Yeah it will, just like Arkansas will vote for the great leader of Darkness Cthulhu.

How did Ctulhu win the Republican nomination?
