Tmthforu94 vs. MilesC56

[Miles]

Miles would likely beat me.

I was actually thinking the opposite.

Here's a possible 269-269 scenario:

PA would be a bit of stretch for tmth, but I don't think I'd have much appeal outside of western PA so he could possibly carry it. The stretch for me would be MS, though I suppose I could frame myself in such a way to win there.

[Miles]

FWIW, I think I'd actually be a great candidate for the Midwest.

Thats why I gave myself MS instead of IA in the 269-269 map. I could see you doing really well in midwest states like IA, where I'd have at least some local and cultural factors working in my favor in MS.

Would something like this be plausible?  This would be one of my ideal maps for any election:

Tmthforu94- 346
MilesC56- 192

While Miles is a good candidate for the South, I don't think I'm necessarily a poor candidate. Imagine Mitch Daniels and Mark Warner - Warner would pick up some Southern states, but it wouldn't be a sweep - Daniels would probably still win the South. Additionally, I don't see how a Republican could lose West Virginia with over 60% unless they were anti-coal, which I'm not.

Mostly this. Honestly, the only Deep South states that would probably be solidly in my column would be LA and AR; TN and GA would be tossups. I do think I'd be a great fit for WV, but not at >60%. Maybe tmth could pick off a few northeastern states if the enough liberals defect to the Greens.

This would probably be the most realistic case:
