[heatmaster]

Is what the map of a Gore-Lieberman vs. Bush-Cheney contest would look like, it's 296 to 242

This is the 2004 map with 341 for Gore-Lieberman to 197 for Bush-Dole.

I think during his second term, Gore would not fair any better than Bush (RL) did, admittedly his response to the Katrina catastrophe will be a lot quicker, and therefore there will be no particular fall-out, I think the GOP will make massive gains, and Gore will replace John McCain with Robert Gates. McCain, will thus be free to criticize the Gore administration and will attempt to manipulate a political comeback, however Mitt Romney emerges as the likely GOP nominee and will secure the nomination on the first ballot, both Hillary Clinton and Joe Lieberman will battle it out for the Democratic nod, however it is Joe Lieberman who prevails and goes for John Edwards as his VP, in this TL, Edwards has remained in Senate, winning reelection in 2004. The GOP go with Mitt Romney for President and Jeb Bush for the second spot.
306 for Romney-Bush
232 for Lieberman-Edwards

This map would signify a larger Republican landslide. The EV would be as follows:
367 forWillard 'Mitt' Romney of Massachusetts and John Ellis 'Jeb'Bush of Florida vs.
171for Joseph Isadore Lieberman of Connecticut and John Edwards of North Carolina
