John Dibble vs. States Rights vs. BRTD vs. Beef

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

John Dibble: Libertarian (yellow)
States Rights: Archconservative (blue)
BRTD: Socialist (red)
Beef: Prairie Populist (green)

I'm going to be away from the forum for the rest of the day.  When I come back I expect to see maps.

States Rights-Republican-156
BRTD-Democratic-152
John Dibble-Classical liberal-139
William Jennings Beef-Populist-89

Did a 1912 map for the hell of it.  Some states were easy to figure like Kansas, the birthplace of Populism.  Others were not-Missouri, Ohio where I just took my best guess.

Like States winning Vermont? Good guess!

He wouldn't get enough votes there to even win on a split.

Vermont used to be a very Republican state back in the day.  Notice this is circa 1912

[Cashcow]

Yeah, but I don't think many of States' views are aligned with the 1912 GOP

I didn't say anything about 1912.  This is 2008.  I don't think there were any Libertarians in 1912.  If they were, they were called "Republicans."

you never said it wasn't a 1912 electoral map
Besides I think you'd do a great deal better in a four way race if it were back then.  Most likely, you'd have the liberal-conservative divide making it a States-BRTD race with Dibble and you recieving 5%. 
Ha see if I map you a map again

Ok, I missed the "for the hell of it" comment.  It's fun doing things for the hell of it.

Apology accepted

I'd probably vote for States. My second choice would be Dibble and third would be Beef. Couldn't stomach voting for BRTD.

[Bacon King]

I'd vote Dibble.

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

Here's my own guess, if this race were run in 2008:



Dibble: 233
Beef: 189
States: 93
BRTD: 23

BRTD wouldn't win MA or RI; he's made quite a few anti-Catholic remarks in the past...
