Carter would do better than Dukakis. He would use his campaign to revise history and defend 76-80...just as anybody else would. He'd be more of a known commodity. He'd probably take some credit for 80's prosperity...that some of his policies laid the groundwork for the good times of the 80s. Some moderate southern evangelicals would gravitate to him once again. But not enough to make a real difference.

Not even sure if he carries Georgia...but he probably takes California from Bush. Maybe even Penn and Maryland if he runs a really great campaign and picks a strong VP, but he definitely loses NY in the process

Dukakis was a wretched candidate.
