If you ran for president, what three states would you carry for sure?

[pogo stick]

In order of margin :

Oklahoma :  57-63% (My social conservatism would help)
Wyoming : 54-60% (The R next to my name)
Utah : 51-57% (My sympathy to Mormons)

[k-onmmunist]

Probably wouldnt win three. Might win a mid-west state if I was lucky.

[Rowan]

Alabama, Oklahoma, and Utah.

[afleitch]

Vermont, Massachusetts and Washington

[Democratic Hawk]

I recall BRTD saying I'd be perfect in the swing states but for many liberals, I wouldn't be that good a Democrat. I haven't the faintest idea, so I'll yet some other Forumite hazard a guess

[Holmes]

California, Vermont, Rhode Island.

[nclib]

New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island.

[Torie]

Probably none, but I think I would be in the hunt in Alaska and Wyoming.  Hey, I'm not a Greenie! Maybe I could get New Hampshire to swing my way. In much of the hyper GOP belt, my near atheism, and other non-conformist opinions just would knock me out of the box, and I am too hostile to certain Dem special interest groups to pick up much that typically goes Dem.  I am just not for everyone, and indeed perhaps not for most.

I had someone run a simulation (that election game perhaps?) pitting me as a Republican against a populist southern Democrat. This was my best scenario

Of course as a gayer the chances of that would be slim

Playing the old version of President Forever, with me in control, against Emsworth I can win every state save Alabama and Alaska. For some reason, on abortion, Alabama is to my left

[TeePee4Prez]

Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island

Could add California, New York, New Jersey, Hawaii, and Maryland even with a stellar candidate.  Pennsylvania and Delaware, due to locality, would be very uphill even for a stellar candidate.

Virginia, North Carolina, and prolly Georgia

Your kinda socially rightwards so it'll help you there.

Wyoming : 54-60% (The R next to my name)
Utah : 51-57% (My sympathy to Mormons)

Actually I could Also Carry Alabama, I have better chances in Alabama then in Utah. Though my religion may be a problem  there.

[JSojourner]

Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts.

[TeePee4Prez]

Worst case scenario.  Assuming GOP candidate is not from PA.  If Ridge or Corbett, I'd concede, but anyway:

[bgwah]

Washington, Oregon and Vermont

[Platypus]

Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania; I guess.

[Vepres]

Colorado, Wyoming, Alaska

[tmthforu94]

I'd win Utah, and Idaho, for obvious reasons. Probably 70-75% in Utah and 65-70% in Idaho. Kansas would be next, as it is my home state. I'd guess 60-65% there.

[phk]

Isn't it more or less WY, UT, ID for R's and MA, RI, VT for D's?

[Governor PiT]

Montanna, Idaho, South Dakota.

[Vepres]

Isn't it more or less WY, UT, ID for R's and MA, RI, VT for D's?

Not necessarily if somebody is a socially liberal Republican or a moderate in some other fashion. Home state advantage, regional appeal, and appeal to certain groups effect it as well. An atheist libertarian Republican would not win UT or ID.

[King]

I wonder what Walter Mondale, George McGovern, and Alf Landon's answers would be.

[WalterMitty]

vermont, massachusetts, hawai'i
