Reagan would have done as well as Bush, imo, if not better.  Dukakis was a terrible candidate.

You know which states to switch because of that.

A better 1988 what-if is Clinton v. Bush.

Is this with that convention speech of his or not?

Closer, but no.  I'll say 325-350 to 175-200 roughly.

Could Cuomo have won anywhere in the South?  Nope, and neither could have any other Northeast Democrat at the time or now, frankly.

Could Cuomo have won California?  This is closer, but my feeling is still no.

If the Democrats lose the the entire South and California, they lose the election.  (Black's political book lesson #1)
