2008 presidential election with UK parties

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Inspired by this thread.

Suppose the 2008 election took place with the UK parties. Who do you think would have been on each party's ticket, and how would the map look like?

In 2008, assuming no changes to the Timeline:
Labor: Hillary Clinton
Conservative: Mitt Romney
Liberal: Mark Warner

Arkansas and Louisiana as Liberal Democrat?

Great idea. Here is my guess :

Tories : 42%
LibDems : 29%
Labour : 22%
Miscellaneous regionalist (for HI and AK) : 1%
Others (USIP, ANP, etc) : 6%

Tories do well in all the rural areas, leading by even greater margins than GOP in the West and South. LibDems do reasonably well, though not excessively, in relatively wealthy and libertarian-leaning liberal States. Labour vote is concentrated in big cities, and industrial areas or progressive rural areas such as VT or MN. Equivalents of SNP, Plaid or Sinn Fein exist in remote States like AK or HI, even though their influence is far smaller than in UK due to those States not bein very populated. In the 2010 general elections, and with a context comparable to the british one, tories would probably have performed slightly better than in UK, and would be able to govern alone. In the US, LibDems would be the second biggest party at least since the 80's, even though the Labour would keep some importance. Probably, Labour and LibDems would use to ally in order to form coalition governments when they hav a majority in the Parliament.

If we are assuming that there are about 650 Parliament seats as in UK, and that each State is divided in constituencies, the breakdown could be :
Tories : 350
LibDems : 200
Labour : 95
Miscellaneous regionalist (for HI and AK) : 3
Others (USIP, ANP, etc) : 2

Something like this in 2010:

1997:

and 1983 would be even more brutal than it was in the UK:
