Palin-Christie vs. Coakley-Cuomo

[JonathanSwift]

Let's say that in 2016, Hillary has to drop out of the race due to ill health. Former Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley enters the race and wins a hard fought primary race against Jim Webb, Lincoln Chafee and Bernie Sanders. She chooses New York Governor Andrew Cuomo as her running mate to add experience to the ticket. Meanwhile, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin wins an upset victory in Iowa with 8% of the vote against a field of more than 30 Republican contenders. She uses that momentum to win Nevada and South Carolina, and emerges as the definitive front runner after sweeping the South on Super Tuesday. She chooses New Jersey Governor Chris Christie as her running mate to make the ticket more appealing to moderate and swing voters.

So, who wins the general election? Discuss with maps!

It's because Massachusetts won't vote for Coakley to save their lives.
