Nice work and I think your map hit the target perfectly.

Only thing is that, I think Ed Brooke was done after his nasty divorce and this losing his senate reelection in '78. I couldnt see Brooke as a VEEP. I could see a Howard Baker or a John Tower being better fit for Ford.

On another note: There was a trail poll done in mid to late '79 and it had Ford beating Reagan by nearly 15% in a two way race. I really think if Ford actually ran in '80, he would have kicked Reagan's and Carter's behinds!
