Warren vs Walker

[daveosupremo]

I predict these two will be the nominees. Attach your VP choice and discuss with maps.

[Suburbia]

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker/South Dakota Senator John Thune-291 EV/51.3%
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren/Montana Governor Steve Bullock-247 EV/48.8%
I could see this matchup being a 269-269 tie, but Walker would win.

Wisconsin, Ohio, and Florida results will be rigged to get the expected results on behalf of the Koch syndicate.

That's the right map. Walker winning Romney + FL, OH, WI, IA and possibly CO.

[Rockefeller GOP]

That's the right map. Walker winning Romney + FL, OH, WI, IA and possibly CO.

Elizabeth Warren wouldn't win NH, IMO.

[KCDem]

Warren would make a much stronger economic argument than Walker or Clinton.

[SWE]

Warren's a strong candidate but it's hard to see a Democrat winning in 2016

Elizabeth would win easily. She has a message for God's sake and a conviction of mind that can only be equalled with Bernie Sanders at this point in political history. This Messiah cult of Scott Walker is not just beginning to become ridiculous, it's simply ridiculous in its very essence. The only reason that Walker is even popular in Wisconsin is because people there have a lot of sympathy/empathy towards him because of what most Wisconsinites regard as a very unfair recall election. Even Richard Nixon wasn't recalled, so why should a very, very bland midwestern Governor be? So goes the general thinking, and honestly I can fully understand why people would think like that.

Brian Sandoval is/should be the messiah of the Republican party, with Rand Paul playing as his vice fiddle. Scott Walker doesn't even come remotely close to be considered a faithful disciple.

Warren would be too leftist for the American electorate. Once Scott Walker paints her as a Socialist--and has the sound bites to back it up--she's toast.

Yay 2 years of watching all of the Walker fanboys fellate their hero!!

I guarantee if Walker underestimates Warren's abilities as a candidate, he will lose.

[New_Conservative]

Warren is too far left for the electorate, but she would probably be a good candidate, but I think she still loses in a landslide.

Governor Scott Walker (R-WI)/ Governor Susana Martinez (R-NM): 302 electoral votes

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)/Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY): 236 electoral votes

Though to be fair, they have pretty good reason to do so.

This is a guy who won three elections in a left-leaning swing state versus a woman who ran 10+ points behind Obama.

A Walker win would occur more often than not.

The default map would be...

Walker/ Rice- 321 Electoral Votes
Warren/ Kaine- 217 Electoral Votes

An African-American female academic with high name recognition and foreign policy experience seems like Walker's ideal running mate.

A swing state Governor turned Senator seems like a good match for Warren. His experience doesn't overshadow hers, but he would still be ready to serve as Prez, and he's not tainted by association by anyone unpopular.

...Running against one of the most popular senators in the country

Hacks go home.

Walker has the advantage here and it's significant, but not the makings of a landslide.  We could expect something like this generally, depending on VP candidates:   295 (50%) - 243 (47%)
