Run First

[The Congressman]

It's gonna be close.
I doubt Dellums would carry any Southern state though, so that's a strong goldmine for Buckley. Him carrying CT is a good sign

 

[The Congressman]

Prediction: Buckley about 310 or so, Dellums 225 or so

"The state of Maine, including both Congressional district, have been won by James L. Buckley."

-Dan Rather (1984)

"Washington, D.C. has been won by Senator Dellums."

-John Chancellor (1984)

"The state of Virginia has been won by the President."

-Tom Brokaw (1984)

 

[Israel]

"We can now confirm the state of New York for President Buckley. We can also now confirm the state of New Jersey for Ron Dellums, and the state of Delaware."

-Dan Rather (1984)

"Exit polls indicate that West Virginia and North Carolina are for President James Buckley. However, in South Carolina it appears that Senator Ron Dellums has established a substantive lead."

-John Chancellor (1984)

 

[The Congressman]

South Carolina for Dellums? If it didn't vote for Carter in 1980 OTL then I doubt it would vote for a socialist, but Fritz Hollings supported him so anything's possible.
Buckley winning New York is a coup for him. Really limits Dellums' path to victory
I personally think Delaware would have stayed with Buckley, though

Predictions for other states?

 

[The Congressman]

Predictions for other states?

Buckley will get Texas and the upper South. PA, OH, and IL are all tossups.

 

[Israel]

"Pennsylvania has voted in favor of Senator Dellums, Ohio has voted in favor of the President. Kentucky, Tennessee have voted for the President as well."

-Dan Rather (1984)

"Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota have voted in favor of Senator Dellums. Iowa and Wisconsin has voted for James Buckley."

-John Chancellor (1984)

"The 'Deep South' states of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, as well as the state of Florida, have cast their votes for President Buckley."

-Tom Brokaw (1984)

 

[The Congressman]

Looks like Buckley has got this. Texas isn't going for Dellums, so even if he wins his home state then it's a done deal
