you all are underestimating the severity of the farm crisis in the upper midwest in 1988.

the gore/clinton ticket would have done very well in those farm states.

I highly doubt New York would vote over 60% for Gore.

it did in 2000.

granted that was post-clinton, when suburbia realized that the country wouldnt go to hell if a democrat was president.  clinton breached a psychological barrier, so to speak.

I do not see CA or NM (or even IL) going for Gore in 1988.

CA is a stretch, but I think Gore (a communitarian in 88) would do well in NM and downstate Illinois.

bush won illinois by 2% against dukakis.  i definitely think gore couldve done better than the duke in the land of lincoln.

ca and nm would have been very close, but i think gore would have squeaked it out.
