What would the electoral map have been like if McCain picked Lieberman as his running mate?

Obama wins MO, Alaska is close, but that's the only major difference. That would've been a very interesting ticket in a more neutral environment, but in the conditions of 2008 it would've been an Obama landslide regardless. Pre-financial crash I bet the Northeast and the South would've been relatively closer.
Redban:
Pro-choice Lieberman as running mate would cost McCain some votes in red states, like aforementioned Missouri. I don't think the Republicans would have gained anything electorally with Lieberman. Maybe they perform a little better in the popular vote?
McCain has said that he regrets not picking Lieberman. I feel his regret is more about his wish to have had a Republican / Democrat on one ticket; and he was also close friends with Lieberman personally
hjii:
McCain wins New Hampshire Obama wins Missouri South Dakota and Montana
America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS:
Probably a bigger Dem win by quite a bit due to heavily increased 3rd party voting/staying home from Conservatives.
