How would the 1984 Presidential Election turn out if these were the tickets?

Republican

President: President Ronald Reagan of California
Vice President: Vice President George H.W. Bush of Texas

Democratic

President: Governor Bob Graham of Florida
Vice President: Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York

It would still be a Reagan Landslide, but what the hell. How would this Election turn out?

Discuss with maps.

Bob Graham does slightly better but still a blowout.

Graham does not win Florida but he manages to win a few states in the northeast.

I might be too kind to Graham here...

I'm not sure I can find any reason to think that Graham would have done any better than Mondale.
