Bush/Quayle vs. Moynihan/Babbitt(1988)

[Historico]

So what If the Hawkish liberal Senator from New York decided to run against Vice President Bush to become the 41st President. Assuming he runs early enough to edge Dukakis out of the race and clinch the nomination, what kind of campaign would the Senator run? How might the electoral results turn out with a race between two credible and well-expeirenced canidates?

Hmm...I think your maps are about right, picking a Young Southern Democratc the likes of Gore or Clinton would be the best chance at winning the election. Still, his hawkish attitudes on foriegn policy might give him an edge against Bush.
