In 1988, longtime Kentucky Senator Wendell Ford runs for the Democratic nomination and wins. He was a moderate Senator (he opposed busing, for example), and reaching out to the liberals in the party, picks Mario Cuomo as his running mate. The Republican nomination goes the same as OTL, and Bush still picks Dan Qualye. Who wins? Discuss with maps.
I say it goes like this:
Sen. Wendell Ford (D-KY) / Gov. Mario Cuomo (D-NY) - 303 EV, 51.7% PVVice Pres. George Bush (R-TX) / Sen. Dan Quayle (R-IN) - 235 EV, 47.4% PV
