2004: Zell Miller (D) vs. Lincoln Chaffee (R)

[MAINEiac4434]

No way that either of these will get their party's nomination, but if this did happen, all liberals and almost all centrists would go for Chafee and all conservatives would go for Miller.

Here's what it would look like:

Republicans: Lincoln Chafee (RI)
Democrats: Zell Miller (GA)

I'm most conflicted about Alaska, Kansas and the Dakotas. But the rest of the map I'm pretty solid about.

Yes, DC goes for the GOP for the first time in their history. DC is one of, if not the most, liberal city in the country. It would go strongly for Chafee, and wouldn't hold for the Ds if Miller was the nominee.

I'd vote for Chafee, and I'm as liberal as you get.

Agree with that. Utah, Idaho and Wyoming also will fall, at least according to my map.

I believe blacks would look out for their own interests, which Zell would not represent.

Not to mention that DC is the most liberal city in the country, and would go to whoever the liberal is. I don't see blacks being so partisan that they would vote against their interests.

I'm sure Chafee would launch an ad campaign aimed at blacks reminding them of the Democrats' history in the south, basically being segregationist until the mid-1970s. Chafee would attempt to link that past to Miller, whether or not it was true (which it isn't, Miller isn't a racist).

It doesn't really matter, anyway. With or without DC, Chafee still wins.

My vote's for Chaffee, who carries everything minus the South (AR+MO+MS+AL+GA+SC+TN+KY+TX+OK)

Indiana will go with Zell

INDIANA IS NOT WINNABLE FOR DEMOCRATS, EVEN TED STEVENS CORPSE WOULD BEAT A DEMOCRAT THERE!!!!

now, being serious, I am not sure ID, UT and WY would vote democrat even with those candidates. Miller probably hates mormons.

Zell would get the Tea Party, Social Conservatives and blacks to join forces here. Game, Set, Match. Chaffee is too liberal for Indiana. Besides haven't you heard Lugar is getting Teablasted like Trey Greyson did in Kentucky by the son of a Paul.

Alright, first of all the Tea Party didn't even exist in 2004. Second of all, blacks would not vote for a man who endorsed segregation when he ran for Congress in the '60s. Third of all, if Chafee is too liberal for Indiana, then how did Obama, who is more liberal than Chafee, win it? Fourth of all, Lugar could still win at this point. Fifth of all, there are numerous spelling and grammatical errors in your post.

I mean, if you just had inane outbursts like this once or twice, I could accept this, but you are a flat-out troll. Ignore-listed.

THANK YOU!
