george hw bush vs. mike dukakis...2004

[WalterMitty]

what would a map look like if this contest would have taken place in 2004 america rather than 1988 america?

[YRABNNRM]

Just about the same as 2004.

[Yates]

Just about the same as 2004.

No.  The main reason that this election was so close was Iraq (though some could argue either moral attacks or economic reasons).

George H. W. Bush was successful in Iraq, and would have won with well over 300 Electoral Votes.

Desert Storm wouldn't have mattered, I don't even think H.W would be president in this scenario.
