Ok...I know this is borderline ASB but anyways...Let's say the POD is that there is no Nashua debate moment, and Bush is able to win the New Hampshire Primary in a close race against Governor Reagan. He is able to steamroll with Big Momentum to the Convention, and is convinced by party leaders to choose Ronald Reagan as his running mate to ensure victory in the fall. Reagan begrudingly accepts, and Bush/Reagan is able to win against Carter/Mondale on roughly the same margins.
1983 rolls around and the US is still mired in a deep Recession...However, ITTL Mondale decides against running for the nomination and endorses A young, O'Neil protegee in Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro of New York. She is able to beat both Jesse Jackson and Garry Hart in the Primaries and becomes the first US House Representative to win a major party's nomination since 1880. She chooses the expeirenced Walter Mondale to take the moniker of Vice President again.
Assuming that there are not tax issues, and the debates go simmilar to the Vice Presidential one did in OTL...How does the electoral map turn out?
Well atleast DC would stay blue (atlas red)
