This is a thread for everyone's prediction map on what would have happened if McCain was the republican nominee in 2000.  Here's mine:


McCain 456 to Gore 82

I wouldn't go so far as to suggest a landslide, but you're right, McCain would have won easily. Here's how I think it would have played out:



McCain 347 Gore 191

Why would McCain lose NJ but win PA, WI, and MI?

You mean the NEW EV totals, right? Smiley

I agree with Mike that it wouldn't have been as bad as you make it, but I agree with you that PA, MN and WI would definitely have gone for McCain.

McCain, unless he appointed a right-wing horror to the VP slot.

Well I was asking between Gore and McCain. I wasn't sure if he was a Gore fan or not.

Who do you think would have been his VP nominee? I'd say Lamar Alexander or Elizabeth Dole.

McCain may have lost... his temper that is.  If he had flashed his temper during the election, it may have had a Dean Effect and resulted in a loss.

About your sig...

Dan Quayle 2008
This should raise some eyebrows

My first reaction was, "He still exists?" That alone should assuage your fears.

Why do all the conservatives at the board adore Kasich so much??  I don't understand.

A massacre. A bloodbath.  McCain-(Fred) Thompson, maybe?  I'm still pining for a Bush-McCain ticket this year.  I believe in miracles!

Probably someone either southern or Midwest-- Alexander, Fred Thompson (not Dole, IMO).  Maybe Engler or Ridge. Even worse for Gore--> McCain-Powell!  Man, a McCain nomination would have been freakin' awesome.

The thing is that McCain came off as fiesty and also could get a pass for it because of his Vietnam history.
