Jimmy Carter vs Bush Sr, 2012.

Bush Sr. wins since people are going to vote based on past experiences with the two men.

Not sure how it'd play out, but I honestly think at this point, Georgia would vote for Bush.

I'm not so sure about that. Georgia voted for Carter in 1980 when he lost in a landslide to Ronald Reagan. I still think Georgia would vote for Carter since many people there still ahve fond memories of him (not necessarily of his Presidency, but especially of his Governorship). Does the rest of my map seem correct in your opinion, though?

Bush does well, and it is close throughout the entire campaign. But, in the end Carter narrowly wins.

Bush wins three of the four electoral votes from Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, all of the south except Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missouri. The north is pretty much Carter because Bush wins only Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, the dakotas, and Nebraska. Bush wins Kansas and Oklahoma. He wins all of the west except for the west coast, New Mexico, and Hawaii.

Bush performs well but looses the electoral vote 290-248 and narrowly looses the popular vote.

I seriously doubt it will be that close. I think Bush Sr. will win in a Clinton-92-96-type of landslide. I think that he can easily distringuish himself from his more stupid son, and a large amount of people I know (both Democrats, Republicans, and Independents) either think Carter is as bad as Bush Jr. or is even worse. I'm sure Bush Sr. will remind everyone about Carter's severely weak responses to the hyperinflation and the hostage crisis, and that should be enough for Bush Sr. to win easily if he picks a smart, competent running mate and if he clearly separates himself from his son throughout the campaign.

Hack map.

Actually maybe flip Tennessee to Carter as well. Bush doesn't stand a chance.

404-134

I was talking about your map being a hack map, not mine. There's no way Carter would min in that kind of lanslide against Bush Sr. I think you just gave Carter a massive landslide because you miiskenly think he is the greatest President ever.

Give CA to Carter and Give MI, WI, IA, MO, LA, AR, FL, NC, TN, KY, OH, WV, and PA to Bush Sr.
