Well, you always find a way to make a pointless map that gives a democratic victory. You almost always give a democratic victory.

What faults do you find with this map?

Many, but to name a few...

Georgia: they would have supported Bush because Carter had been defeated in the primaries.
California: had voted republican for every election other than 1964 up to that point since 1952. JFK lost California in 1960, why would another Kennedy carry it twenty years later?

Georgia would vote Democratic because of Nunn, but very closely.  California voted GOP because, in every election save 1976, when it was very close, a Californian was on the ticket.

Your statement on California made no sense what so ever. And I still am not buying your idea on Georgia.

It made perfect sense: California voted for their favorite sons.  And I don't care if you buy my opinion on Georgia; it is my idea.

There is no person from California on either ticket in this scenario.

Which is exactly why they voted Democratic.

California leaned Democratic except when there was a Native Son on the GOP side.  With no Californian on the ticket, they voted for the Democrats.

California would be a toss up this case, However it most likely would have voted Republican since there is a unliked Democratic President in the White House and with California voting Republican in 1976 what makes you think a Democrat even Kennedy could win it in 1980?

Also no way would Georgia have voted for Ted Kennedy even with a Georgian on the ticket.

In addition no way NJ would ether since Bush is a moderate and some of the same things with CA apply here too. 

Thank you. I hope Warner hears that.

That is certainly better logic than calling me a hack   Have you ever tried stating your actual reasons?
