I’m Sorry... What? (John McCain 2008: not a tl)

Here is an extremely short alternate election that I wanted to share with you guys. You’ll want to brace yourselves. I’ll give you a second.


Good?

Okay...

Now I know what you’re thinking. What. on God’s green earth is that.

Well, this, friends, is the result of my seventh game of President Infinity trying to get John McCain in 2008 with the hardest difficulty. Let it be noted that I am farrrrr from a master with this game.

Now, I understand that there isn’t much of a possibility of this map in reality. I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to say that McCain would’ve stood a good chance against Edwards if all went well. This map though? Wow.

Oh yeah, and McCain lost the popular vote.
By seven and a half million.

So anyways, thoughts on this map? I just thought it was interesting enough to share this result.
 
Might not be too implausible actually. I could see a lot of this happening as the result of as a major party realignment were Republicans aim towards moderation following Bush backlash, while Democrats gear towards Southern economic populism under Edwards. Then delay the economic crash until December and have all of Edwards' skeletons come tumbling out of his closet in the most scandalous fashion and McCain might win.
