2008, Battle of the New Yorkers!

Battle of the scumbags!

Here's how I see it:

Guilliani  178

Popular Vote

Clinton  52.2 %
Guilliani 46.5 %
Other      1.3 %

Analysis

I really don't think the dynamics of this election would have been all that much different than the election that we just had in real life.  Hillary probably carries her home state of Arkansas, and she also probably carries the state of West Virginia, where her husband is still immensely popular.  Additionally, she probably carries Missouri because that is one state along with Arkansas and West Virginia where she may have slightly outperformed Obama.  On the whole, she ends up winning all of the other states that Obama does except Indiana and North Carolina, but her margins of victory in the Northeast and on the West Coast are slightly less impressive.  As a result her popular vote margin is slightly less impressive than Obama's popular vote margin in real life.

Giuliani equals: political opportunist trash and would be exposed as such. Evangelical turnout would be unbelievably low, because most of them just live and breath abortion.

a clinton defeat

a clinton win with an obama style blowout

a more realistic clinton win

No way would Rudy win MO in this situation, let alone Iowa.

[Psychic Octopus]

did I put Iowa? My bad. But I think he had a shot in Missouri.

CT? NJ? WTF?

[Governor PiT]

Both are NWO scum but the funny thing is I remember predicting that match up in 2004 the day after the election.

Haha, OK goes Clinton but UT stays solid Giuliani?

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

UT hates Clinton and would have preferred anyone, OK would have gone Clinton because the white female vote there isn't that bad for the dems in a decent year and Giuliani would have lowered evangelical turnout.

[The Populist]

This would be an absolute landslide for Hillary, as she's able to take in many Southern states that abhored Giuliani.

This is pretty good I think. I'm divided on TN however.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Perhaps something like this.....

Hillary Clinton (D): 366 EV
Rudy Giuliani (R): 172 EV

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton defeats "America's Mayor" Rudy Giuliani comfortably to become 44th President of the United States. Senator Clinton picks up a vast majority of the Obama/Biden states in real life with the exceptions of CO, IN, VA and NC. To counterbalance these losses, Senator Clinton picks up KY, TN, AK and LA, states which are favourable to the Senator. Despite the comfortable victory, I could forsee in such a scenario a lower voter turnout, particularly in the South, alienated by Giuliani's social liberalism.

She'd carry Indiana with Bayh perhaps.

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Giuliani would not be able to win the Republican base, and without it he is toast.

[justfollowingtheelections]

Giuliani would have won if he somehow managed to win the primary.  The base would have voted for any republican over any democrat.
