Title: 1988 scenario. Post by: WalterMitty on July 18, 2005, 01:41:33 PM let's say that texas senator loyd bentsen ran for the democratic nomination and won. he picks young governor bill clinton as his running mate.
bob dole wins the republican nomination, and in a surprsing move, he nominates long time moderate rhode island senator john chafee as his running mate. () bentsen/clinton: 53%, 299 EVs dole/chafee: 47%, 239 EVs Title: Re: 1988 scenario. Post by: Ronald Reagan on July 18, 2005, 08:54:50 PM I don't see Bensen winning. After the Reagan years no Democratic could have won.

Post by: ATFFL on August 05, 2005, 11:33:55 PM Mario Cumuo would've killed Bush. The only way he would have killed Bush is if he literally had his mob ties kill Bush. Cuomo was always smart enough to know that he had no chance in an election which took place outside New York. He might have done well in some early primaries, but he would have been doomed once the media/his rivlas dug into his connections. Title: Re: 1988 scenario. Post by: George W.
