Huntsman/Jindal vs Cuomo/Klobuchar

[PolitiJunkie]

I think it would be a major win for Cuomo.

He's one of the most electable Democrats, while Huntsman is a fairly generic moderate Republican, as far as electoral strength is concerned especially with Huntsman having been out of an elected office for so long.

Cuomo would be able to argue bipartisan unity with a record in New York to boast it, while Huntsman would argue its simply the Republican's turn in the White House.

Klobuchar would help excite female and independent voters and would help lock down the Midwest.

Jindal would help some with conservative voters unhappy with Huntsman's moderate streak, but it probably wouldn't be enough to excite the base; plus his record as Governor and favourability would keep him held back with voters in general.

Safe D (185 EV): Vermont, New York, California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Hawaii, DC, Maryland, Delaware, Washington, Oregon, Maine, Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey

Likely D (58 EV): Minnesota, Michigan, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Maine's 2nd Congressional District

Lean D (42 EV): Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Iowa, Virginia, Colorado

Democratic leaning Toss-Up (18 EV): Ohio

Republican leaning Toss-Up (44 EV): Florida, North Carolina

Lean R (22 EV): Arizona, Missouri, Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District

Likely R (107 EV): Montana, Texas, Georgia, Indiana, Arkansas, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota

Safe R (62 EV): South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Kansas, Oklahoma, Idaho, Louisiana

Half the time, Cuomo would win with 303 electoral votes.

HAHAHAHA that was phenomenal. Mr. Mets seriously needs to relax with his "ZOMGGG 2016 IZ A PUBLICAN YEAAAARRRRRZZZ" and putting states like Pennsylvania and Colorado as "Lean R" in any matchup, disregarding candidate strength, national mood, and vastly changed demographics in favor of petty trends and a bizarre expectation of republicans recovering Bush's 04 map. Thanks for this.
