Better Red Than Dead vs. bullmoose88

[So the Heroes Fall]

would bullmoose win every state?

[??????????]

You'd win Massachusetts.

[Gustaf]

If you were running as Dem and Rep respectively, you would probably win DC still, or at least you'd have a chance. All others I see going to Bullmoose.

Probably.  The south would hate him, but there really is no other option.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Bah.   I should remind you that several counties in Tennessee went for TR!  Tennesseans for Bullmoose!

[??????????]

This is what the map would look like -

Red- BRTD - 95
Blue - Bullmoose - 344
Green- Me as a third party - 99

Not if Bandit ran as an independent. He'd garner 80-90% of the Kentucky vote.

Yeah, 80-90% of the nutter ward.

Oklahoma, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming would all be close for whoever that right third party will be.

[RomneyGekko Situation Hairgel]

Subtract Florida  and Arkansas, and possibly Georgia and Lousiana as well. Add Oklahoma.

Edit: And give Maine, New Jersey and Connecticut to Bull as well.

In a straight head to head?



Bullmoose88-461
BRTD-77

I think he'd narrowly carry maryland...states like Maine, Iowa, Wisconsin are very close either way. Southern States as Boss said would pick me as the slightly lesser of two evils.

A 3 Way Matchup with States Rights (grey)



Bullmoose88-367
BRTD-126
Statesrights-45

Would look more similar to 1968 with statesrights siphoning some of the bullmoose is the lesser of two evils votes away from me...carrying
a  bunch of the conservative southern states while eating away at my margin of victory in others across the country. BRTD benefits here coming close in Texas some of the plains states (Kansas) while winning states that went narrowly to me the last time.
Florida, Georgia, NC, and VA narrowly go to me since I better represent the more populous suburbs and growing areas.

I think.

BRTD would do better than anyone has predicted IMHO.

I think in the popular vote he'd do better than the electoral college shows.

But when a fiscal/social Leftist goes against a fiscal center rightist and a social leftist (probably slightly less lefty, but still lefty)

Most areas of the spectrum will probably find me closer than BRTD...if only slightly...

but yeah I don't see this as a reagan/mondale or nixon/mcgovern....probably Bush/Dukakis...closer than the EC and could have gone the other way given a small swing of votes.
