Have Freudenthal head the Democratic ticket and you have the only possible scenario where the map would look something like this:
David D. Freudenthal/Barack H. Obama: 348
Rudolph W. L. Giuliani/W. Mitt Romney: 190
Freudenthal would be nightmare for the Republicans in the Midwest. He's a centrist Democrat from Wyoming and a very popular one at that - his 2008 approvals were somewhere in the high 60s/low 70s. Giuliani takes some of the more swingable Northeastern areas due to his social liberalism, and Romney's Mormonism helps him hold on to Idaho and Utah in the Midwest, but neither really helps much. Normally the centrism would be something of a hindrance with liberal bases, but the ticket balance keeps everything handily in-column. Dave Freudenthal would easily become the 44th President.
