He's just an older version of Jerry Brown, so sure.

I know it's tough for you to admit, but I'm far handsomer and younger than he is actually. No Grumps, you couldn't win squat. Who's gonna vote for someone who loves gays, guns, porn and dope all at the same time?

How realistic are we being?  Obviously the setup is pretty pie-in-the-sky... but Grumps could win in the right scenario.  He has the credentials to pull a good majority of the white working/middle class vote.  Obviously he'd have to tread carefully regarding social issues.

Absolutely. If Rick Snyder can win by 23 or so, you can win Cathcon.

It might be a primary crowded by other Huntsman Republicans, McCain Republicans and Romney Republicans, but after the nomination, its free sailing! (except if Kathleen Sellibus decides to move to Oklahoma, then it might be a tough one, but you could pull it off never the less...

If were talking Maryland here, then no. I would be generous and say that you could pull it off with a few hundred votes to spare, but you'd have to get at least >70% of the white vote, which is very unrealistic.

Typically not; he'd need a year worse than 2010.

Probably too radical in both axes for the state.

Can't really see him getting past a primary in Oklahoma.

Use either California (my Atlas state) or New South Wales (my actual state) for me.

NY= VS just a Rep? In the wrong year for a Rep? Yeah, it could happen...

VA= Too many Dem and Rep strongholds for a Green-ey to win 10%, much less 40% or more

CA= I think you could juuuuuusssssssst pass 30% if the Dem is anti-charismatic and the Rep is too unpopular and too much like the Dem... So I think it could happen in the right circumstances....
