bullmoose vs. Cosmo Kramer

[jokerman]

Does anyone have an argument for why a Socially Liberal Republican would beat a moderate populist Democrat?  I'm just wondering what the reasoning on this is.

I wouldn't exactly get killed in pro life areas (I am after all, marginally prolife...Preston would certainly win the majority of those voters, but it wouldn't be that huge of a majority).

Then again...even when I did a map...I lose...narrowly of course...

I think another useful question would be...which states would go to one candidate big time over the other

I think for me...

New Hampshire
Washington
Oregon
Maine
New Jersey

Eh I think it'd be closer than that...I could possibly hold my own in my state (just out of loyalty and if need be, racking up margins in suburbia)...possibly take NY (but that'd require some work)...maybe florida (we'd see a 1960-70s sort of county map there...GOP down south and Dem North)...Montana would probably be mine...Indiana...possibly...if they vote solidly GOP no matter what like they tend to do.

but yeah...a democrat winning Utah...this would be the case.

I think Indiana is too socially conservative to vote for you, bullmoose88.

Yeah...but its one of those states that votes Republican for president more than anything...

Its the same reason why I think Preston gets MA even though I'm much much closer to the average MA person's views...party loyalty=too much to overcome.

 Blue is BullMoose; Red is Cosmo Kramer



It's a fairly close race -Kramer wins 280 electoral votes to BullMoose's 258.

And I am not really thinking Republican vs. Democrat here, just so you all know.  It is an ideological struggle as opposed to it being a partisan one -a libertarian vs. a populist.

bullmoose/Preston.  I am a left leaning DLCer so moose makes more sense.  However, populists win.

[WalterMitty]

id obviously vote for the moose and so would the country at large.

id vote to receive a nice enema before i voted for preston.  (no offense, preston)
