Blanche Lincoln (D) vs Condoleezza Rice (R) (Battle of the Women)

[Rob]

The map:



A Lincoln landslide. She wins 458-80 in the electoral vote, and 56-43 in the popular vote. This is a significant election because it would be the first time since 1944 that a Democrat sweeps the entire South.

Lincoln would still win the black vote, and her gains among whites would more than make up for losses among blacks. She would sweep the South.

Just because you live in the South doesn't give you instant knowledge of the results in this scenario. Understand, I'm not trying to call the entire South racist, or anything stupid like that. I know a lot of people in Oregon that probably wouldn't vote for a black woman. I'm just trying to be realistic about the outcome.
