I run as a populist, moderate Republican and focus heavily on winning over blacks and Hispanics as well as College-Educated Suburbanites. I easily win my home state of Virginia and keep the rest of the South, doing much better than a generic R in the Black Belt and in big, populous counties like Hinds, MS and Jefferson, Alabama. Since the South alone isn't enough for victory, I campaign hard out west in states like Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon, presenting my more Libertarian social views as well as my pro-gun rights stance to Western voters. I have my girlfriend campaign for me in many areas, especially Nevada which is where she was born. on election night I hold a large rally in Las Vegas, Nevada and the day of the election I hold a GOTV rally in NOVA. in the end, I hold on to the traditionally GOP states and pick up several swing/lean D states for a narrow victory over my Generic Democrat opponent. I think the map looks something like this:
