A different 1996

[Josh/Devilman88]

Lets say it was Clinton vs. McCain vs. Perot. What would the out come be? What might a map look like?

I doubt there would be much difference, McCain wasn't as much the media whore then as he is now, though just about anyone would have been better than Bob Dole who just liked to hear Bob Dole talk about Bob Dole.

Bill Clinton - 47% - 358 EVs
John McCain - 43% - 180 EVs
Ross Perot - 9% - 0 EVs

Clinton-297
McCain-200
Perot-41

Clinton wins for two main reasons.  The vote split and the fact McCain hadn't had much popularity until after the 2000 election.

now how would McCain's entry into the race give Perot all those states?

I'm mostly giving Perot an overestimated edge to make for a more interesting map.  Not that he likely would do this well.
