2008: Paul/Kwiatkowski (R, L, C) vs. Clinton/Obama (D)

[SPC]

Let's suppose that somehow, Ron Paul manages to win the Republican nomination, and the Libertarian and Constitution parties nominate him as well. He selects Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski as his running mate.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton win the Democratic nomination and selects Barack Obama as her running mate.

There is no major alternative conservative running. How does this race turn out?

Now, I don't think Paul would actually win, but I believe he would get some independent support due to him and Kwiatkowski trumping Clinton and Obama on foreign policy. But, I believe the base would abandon him, leading to his downfall.

How are they stronger on foreign policy?  Basiclly his stance is go nowhere under any condition.

Clinton-Obama win big, in the most wrong-way election since 1964, the last time the obviously better candidate lost in a landslide.

Paul may well win many "traditional" close states, like New Hampshire or Nevada, though. OTOH, He'll be murdered in the Midwest.

It would be Hillary/Obama LANDSLIDE!

Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama (D) 399 EV 55%
Ron Paul/Karen Kwiatkowski (R) 199 EV 43%
Others 2%

Hillary/Obama win in a huge landslide, as said before like 1964. And though I hate Hillary she's better than Paul and would unfortunatly win my vote.

[DownWithTheLeft]

The base stays home although Paul outperforms Clinton w/Indys

[gorkay]

Clinton/Obama would win, although it might be closer than most people would have expected at first. Paul would get virtually all the conservatives, some of the moderates, and all the anti-black and anti-woman voters.

Clinton-Obama win big, in the most wrong-way election since 1964, the last time the obviously better candidate lost in a landslide.

Do you mean Eric Hass or Clifton DeBerry?
