Winner: Mattress and pillow companies.

Joke aside, I feel like O'Malley could win Virginia.

I feel Virginia is going to be the new bellwether, hence my call.

Walker seems to be the more impressive candidate. His electoral history is better, while O'Malley was unpopular that his Lieutenant Governor ended up losing the gubernatorial election in Obama's fifth best state.

The default map would be a solid Republican win, with Walker aided by the closeness of PA/IA/NH/CO and his home state.



Walker/ Bush- 315 Electoral Votes
O'Malley/ Gilibrand- 223 Electoral Votes

This is more realistic.

Looks about right, though I could see PA going either way.

I think that Walker vs O'Malley would actually be an interesting matchup and somewhat reminiscent of Kennedy-Nixon 1960 in that it would be the first time two members of the younger generation faced off.

It's not Solid D, no doubt on this.
In a Walker vs. O'Malley election, it would be a pure toss-up, but I still think that the Democrats have an advantage in Virginia.

I think that we might not have seen what O'Malley has to offer yet. He could have some charm, especially if he brings his Celtic Rock band out on the campaign trail. I also think that he'd be able to increase youth voter turnout better then Hillary by talking about how he froze tuition rates as Governor of Maryland.
