Bradley 271McCain 267I gave Bradley WV (a Dukakis state), NH, and took away NM. It's possible that IA could have gone to McCain, but IA's rather dovish. It's also possible that MO would have went to Missouri native Bradley.
WV personally rebelled against Gore for his anti-coal stance; that may have been muted a bit by Bradley.
Bradley was a highly respected Senator, whereas Gore was viewed as annoying and pandering, and a guy who didn't wear well. McCain had popularity, but he's also a loose cannon. Initially, I thought Bradley might lose worse than Gore, but, in restrospect, he would have been a better candidate.
