Candidates from different years vs. each other

[Thomas D]

Hoover (1928) vs. Johnson (1964)?

I'll admit this map makes no sense:



LBJ 293-238 in 1928 numbers

[A cowboy always follows his beard]

Lincoln (1860) vs Kennedy?

[Senator Snowstalker]

Lincoln v. Kennedy:

[phk]

84 vs 08

[Senator Snowstalker]

84 vs 08

And LBJ vs. Nixon '72:



Finally, Truman vs. Clinton '96:



Truman (red) wins in a squeaker.

[Thomas D]

Carter 1976 vs. Clinton 1996



Carter (red) wins 303-235 using today's numbers.

[Senator Snowstalker]

Kennedy (red) vs. Carter (green):



Jimmy wins by a single electoral vote in 1960.

Hoover (blue) vs. Reagan (green):



Reagan wins rather comfortably in 1928 numbers.

Coolidge (blue) vs. Obama (red):



Based on 1924, Obama wins in a squeaker.

[Joe Republic]

Hold on sec... Barack Obama sweeps the Deep South?  In 1924???

[Nichlemn]

Hold on sec... Barack Obama sweeps the Deep South?  In 1924???

This reflects Coolidge's bad performance being weaker than Obama's bad performance. Obviously, if Obama was somehow nominated in 1924 he'd lose by comical margins there.

[Joe Republic]

Oh, I didn't realize these were based on actual numbers.  I figured it was all just speculative.

[Senator Snowstalker]

Oh, I didn't realize these were based on actual numbers.  I figured it was all just speculative.

Yup. Basically, you take whoever got a larger percentage of the vote in the state.

[Nym90]

Oh, I didn't realize these were based on actual numbers.  I figured it was all just speculative.

If it was, I'd have moved it to the What-ifs? section.

Kerry vs. Gore.  Interesting that all the Gore territory is contiguous.

[Thomas D]

Reagan 1980 vs. Bush 2004



Reagan is green. Bush is blue. Using 1990's numbers.

Reagan-323
Bush-215

[Governor Scott]

Reagan 1980 vs. Bush 2004



Reagan is green. Bush is blue. Using 1990's numbers.

Reagan-323
Bush-215

DC would go for a write-in candidate before it goes for any Republican.

[Reginald]

Harding vs. Hoover (1928):



Harding wins 282-249, using 1928 numbers.

--

Now here's Eisenhower (1952) thrown into the mix:



256-180-95, using 1952 numbers. Harding's just shy of a majority.

--

And here's who places second in the above election:

[tb78]

Dukakis (D) vs. Willkie (R)-Using 1940 Map :



Dukakis: 386 EV's
Willkie: 145 EV's

[Nichlemn]

Harding vs. Hoover (1928):



Harding wins 282-249, using 1928 numbers.

--

Now here's Eisenhower (1952) thrown into the mix:



256-180-95, using 1952 numbers. Harding's just shy of a majority.

--

And here's who places second in the above election:

I like the idea of three (or more) candidate races. I think an interesting twist would be a landslide candidate versus two or more candidates who won smaller victories (or losses), to see how much it takes for a landslide candidate to be denied an EC majority.

[tb78]

Mondale vs. Dewey (1948) with 1948 Map:



Dewey=368
Mondale=163

[tb78]

The Battle of the Progressives: Roosevelt VS. LaFollete



Roosevelt:470 EV's, 27.40%
Lafollette: 61 EV's, 16.61%

Roosevelt wins with no major challenge

[MIKESOWELL]

This is a great thread.

[Californian Tony]

This is a great thread.
