Sharrod Brown vs Kamala Harris

[Da2017]

What would a Brown vs Harris match up be like? I see a repeat of Clinton vs Sanders.

[dw93]

I'd support Brown. As to how a primary would play out, I don't see it being Clinton vs. Sanders. Brown is much more palatable to the establishment of the party than Sanders is and Harris is far less experienced than Clinton. If Brown could fire up Bernie supporters and take enough of Clinton supporters, I think he could win.

I like both of these candidates but I think Brown edges it out. Brown will largely court the Bernie coalition plus he will have the infrastructure in place by being a lifelong Democrat.

Red is Kamala

Blue is Sherrod

I have no idea what a map would look like, and I have no idea who I would vote for. I really like both of them a lot. A Brown/Harris or Harris/Brown ticket would be awesome

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Harris would probably win. Edging out Sherrod Obama-style by driving up the delegate count in the south.

Hands down Brown wins this one. He has a very strong appeal to the Bernie base, plus he has the political experience to win. Bernie did what he did in 2016 with virtually zero endorsements. Sherrod would have the backing of a decent portion of the Democratic party. I think Kamala is super overrated in general though. I'm kind of sick of everybody in the Democratic party trying to be the next Obama. Obama worked because his movement was organic and unique, and I don't think Cory Booker nor Kamala Harris can recreate that. Plus after seeing the failures of the Obama administration I don't want some half term Senator being my president.

That being said, I see that playing out like this...

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA)
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH)

I think it would be extremely close, 2008-style tightness. It would depend on how big Harris' margins in the South were and how big Brown's margins in the Midwest were.

Kamala wins by running up the margins in the south, winning most of the northeast and the west, while holding her own in the Midwest with large margins coming from Detroit, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Chicago, Minneapolis, etc.

Very confused how you chose how to split up the NE states. It looks like you went along the lines of the '08 primary, but the Democratic party is no longer split on that axis. I think RI is far more likely to go Brown than CT. I'd also say that NH is more likely to go Brown than Kamala. The only two states I can see Kamala winning are MA and CT, and even then I think MA is just as likely to go for Brown as it is Kamala. A huge part of Clinton's strength in MA has less to do with the state being more "establishment" friendly and more to do with her extensive and long running political roots in MA. Clinton managed to win MA in '08 despite Obama getting the high profile endorsement of Ted Kennedy.

You're right about CT and RI. I see Harris winning minority voters and narrowly winning highly educated voters, and I completely underestimated the number of both minority and highly educated voters in CT, and the overestimated those numbers for RI.

Kamala would win by a comfortable margin, though Brown mostly takes the northern whites.

✓ Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA): 54.8%
Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH): 43.9%
