1988 Election Scenario: Pat Robertson vs. Jesse Jackson

[JonathanSwift]

In 1988, Vice President George H. W. Bush stuns the world by deciding not to run for President. Televangelist Pat Robertson is able to mobilize evangelical support to beat out Kansas Senator Bob Dole for the Republican nomination. He chooses Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina to be his running mate.

On the Democratic side, Jesse Jackson is able to pull out a victory against a crowded field. In a surprise move, he chooses former Klansman David Duke to be his running mate.

Economic and other historical conditions are the same as in real life.

How does the election turn out? Please discuss with maps!
