Harvey Gantt runs against Jesse Helms and wins the Senate race in 1990. In 2004, Sen. Harvey Gantt decides to run for the Democratic nomination and runs as a national candidate and not the "African American" candidate and surprisingly wins and chooses Chris Dodd as his runningmate.

Incumbent President Bush is renominated and chooses to keep Cheney on the ticket.

How would the election play out? What would the electoral map look like? Who would win? Discuss, with maps if you wish.

But also detract some Blue Collar Whites who will not be excited about voting for a black guy. I think it offsets him quite a bit.

Only a delusional Democratic hack would believe that Gantt defeats Bush in 2004.

Bush/Cheney                     360
Gantt/Dodd                       178

Gantt pulls it out by the slimmest of margins, 279-269 (probably still losing the popular vote):

I'd figure that after 16 years as a Senator, being reelected and popular, he'd be able to carry it.
