Cuomo - 158
Bush - 380

I am being generous to Cuomo.  Minnesota should probably go to Bush.

Cuomo would be royally screwed after all the scandals against him broke.  He might be under indictment by the time the election rolls around.

Cuomo initially enters the conventions with a lead greater than Dukakis had, around 20%.  Then some skeletons, which allegedly kept him from running for president, come out.  Bush proceeds to run the most negative campaign in history, worse even than IRL.  Various skeletons from Cuomo's past come out.  Cuomo's charisma keeps it a close until election day.



Bush wins 290 to 248.

Bush was probably unbeatable in 1988 even though he started down low in the polls initially.  He was one of the most qualified people in 1988, if ever, to be President when you consider the breadth and scope of exerience in governing and politics.  He was a VP for eight years, ran the CIA, ran the Republican Party, and was an ordinary congressman for four years, IIRC.

Defarge:  Cuomo would not have taken Vermont. He was not much liked by a lot of people in states neighboring NY.  Same for CT.

MO might have also been just out of his reach.

CA would have been a tossup.

All of this is out if all his little scandals were covering a big one.  In that case, Bush might get all 50 states.
