Bush 428, Carter 110

Reagan was the better campaigner, so Carter would have gotten more votes, but Anderson pulled a lot of his support from traditional Republicans who couldn't stomach Reagan so a good deal of his votes would have gone to Bush in a Bush/Carter matchup, so the northeastern states you have going to Carter would have stayed in the GOP column because of that.

Ford almost carried AR in 1976; I think that would have been solidly for Bush.  

TN and KY might have as well.  I'd say  Bush/Carter at 434/104 to 453/85.  Still a blowout.
