Which 25 states could you win

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

So you've run for election, and you managed to win 25 states, exactly half the possible states.

Which 25 states do you feel you won?

me:

In general, these are states with already high taxes.

[AndrewTX]

Heres mah list.  Blue is what I think I could win, Red is out of the question, grey could go either way, and green is states I probably wouldnt win, but would possibly have a fighting chance at, depending on who the other person would be.

Explanation: The darkest blue states are the ones I'm most confident I could win in, while the lightest blue states are the last of the 25 I would consider winnable for myself. For the red states, the darkest reds are states that are nearly completely unwinnable for me, while the lighter red states are somewhat winnable, but still Democratic favored. All green states are states that don't belong in my first 25 but I still think I could win.

25 Blue - State's I'd win
15 Red - States I'd lose
10 Green - TCTC

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Green: I think I could win
Grey: No idea
Blue: Not much hope

[exopolitician]

[Platypus]

I couldn't.

But if I could...

Hawaii
Washington
Oregon
Nevada
Colorado
Minnesota
Iowa
Illinois
Wisconsin
D.C. (I'm going to count it)
Maryland
Delaware
New Jersey
Pennsylvania
New York
Connecticut
Rhode Island
Massachusetts
Vermont
New Hampshire
Maine

...and then 4/5 of Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, Florida, and New Mexico I guess.

Not an American of course, but 'Wins' in green

[Hatman 🍁]

[tpfkaw]

Blue states are my states.

[TeePee4Prez]

Red:  Would likely win
Green: With all else equal, I'd have the advantage
Grey:  All else equal, I'd be a longshot
Blue:  No chance.  Can't contend.

[deliriumipa]

I'm Anti-Ethanol, I'd lose Iowa by a long shot.

Dark Red =  Safe Me
Dark Blue = Safely Anyone Else

[hawkeye59]

States I lead in+tossup states is 25.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Red: States I'd won
Green: States I may won
Blue: States I'd lose

[Barnes]

Georgia might be a long shot, meh...

[Yelnoc]

Georgia might be a long shot, meh...

Favorite son effect?

[Hash]

being really optimistic...

red: would win being very optimistic
blue: would lose even when optimistic

or

red: would probably win
green: being honest, swing states which could go either way
blue: would lose badly overall

[Badger]

I couldn't.

But if I could...

Hawaii
Washington
Oregon
Nevada
Colorado
Minnesota
Iowa
Illinois
Wisconsin
D.C. (I'm going to count it)
Maryland
Delaware
New Jersey
Pennsylvania
New York
Connecticut
Rhode Island
Massachusetts
Vermont
New Hampshire
Maine

...and then 4/5 of Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, Florida, and New Mexico I guess.

Ditto, though I'm pretty sure about Michigan.

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Wow, there are a lot of enthusiastic maps on this thread. 

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Solid Red=  Very likely to win

Light Red=Somewhat likely to win

Grey=Toss-up

Light Blue=Somewhat unlikely to win

Soolid Blue= Very unlikely to win

[Yelnoc]

I would lose every state.  I have no Public speaking ability

If I got into politics it would be as someone's campaign manager and controller/puppet master once they were elected.

[HappyWarrior]

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Those would be my 25 best states.  The bubble was between North Carolina and Ohio.  I would aggressively campaign for North Carolina, pretty much just because I like the state, but I don't think my social politics would play well there.  

Realistically, the states I think I could ACTUALLY win (right now) are all the ones in red minus Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and probably Iowa and Wisconsin, although I'm not sure how an agnostic would play there. 

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Blue states are the ones I think I would win if the states were split 25-25.
