John Kasich/ Condoleeza Rice VS Bernie Sanders/ Loretta Lynch

[Mister Mets]

Bernie Sanders is leading in New Hampshire primary polls. John Kasich is second to Trump. It's possible they'll run against one another in the general election. How do you see that going?

I went with Rice and Lynch as running mates since thet help their respective tickets, but their similarities (two African-American female cabinet members who were not elected to prior office) mean that the race is mostly about the top of the ticket.

[Crumpets]

Kasich/Rice 281 EV
Sanders/Lynch 257 EV

Something like this. Sanders wins the Kerry states + New Mexico and Nevada. Virginia is the closest state and the bellwether, although Iowa is also quite close.

No pro-choice GOP VP. Stop this silliness.

326 - 212

With keynote addresses by:

Susana Martinez/Jeff Flake(one of the two)
One of:
Ron Wyden, Howard Dean, Brian Schweitzer, Deval Patrick, or another left-libertarian with strong union ties.

But for labor turnout and a left-libertarian keynote speaker, Sanders would lose Michigan and Wisconsin for the former, Oregon, ME-2, and maybe Washington for the latter. Illinois would be competitive, but Obama campaigning and labor turnout push the margin over 2.5%.

Honestly, if Kasich chose Gardner or Flake or Rubio, he would do a lot better. This the most electable v. least electable, and it's pretty clear who wins.
