paul simon vs. george bush 1988
WalterMitty:
discuss w/maps.
Rob:
Bush wins, but it's pretty damn close.
Dr. Cynic:
Keep in mind the huge lead the Dems had... That election was really Dukakis' to lose. Paul Simon was smarter than that, and in my opinion, would've won.
TomC:
While Dukakis was kinda nerdy, Simon was nerdy and kooky, though not as aloof as Dukakis; he wouldn't have been accused of not having heart. Still, too old school liberal to bring all the Reagan Dems back.
I like Rob's map except I'd give Mo. to Bush and Maine and Conn to Simon.

Maine voted for Bush by more than the national average. I highly doubt any Democrat could have won it in a close election. As for Missouri, if Dukakis could make it that close, I too believe that Simon could win, albeit closely. I'd consider giving New Mexico to Simon also, though possibly taking away Michigan.
