1992: Brown/Harkin v. Bush/Quayle v. Perot/Stockdale

[Maxwell]

Okay...

What if Clinton's resurgence wasn't as strong as it was, there was a huge battle between Clinton and Tsongas, and Brown found an in as an anti-establishment candidate and managed to win the nomination, picked Tom Harkin to be his VP. The rest is the same as real life... who wins?

Probably Brown.  Perhaps less Reagan Democrats return to support him, although if he campaigns on fiscal conservatism who knows?  Definitely steals more support from Perot because of his "anti-establishment" aura plus if he campaigns on fiscal conservatism he can really take the wind out of Perot's sails on the national debt issue.

Map?

The reason why I didn't post one before is because I'm not sure how this would turn out - I'm not sure of Brown's debating abilities, which might make or break it for him.  But here's my guess:

Brown: 307 EV
Bush: 231 EV

Maybe flip Kansas, AZ, and WY.  Why this map?  No southerner on the ticket secures the south for the GOP.  But Brown holds the northeast and midwest because of his anti-establishment nature.  But like I said this is just speculation I don't really have a lot to go on.

There would have been a constitutional crisis. Perot would have carried more states so no one could get to the 269 electoral votes needed in 1992;

Bush/Quayle (R) 37%
Perot/Stockdale (I) 33%
Brown/Harkin (D) 30%
