Candidates from different years vs. each other

[Antonio the Sixth]

Teddy Roosevelt 1904 vs Franklin Roosevelt 1936 vs Ronald Reagan 1984 with 2008 EV's

Franklin Roosevelt - 298 EV's
Teddy Roosevelt - 143 EV's
Ronald Reagan - 97 EV's

How is that possible ? Certainly FDR got a higher % than Teddy in most of the States you colored in green.

[Jackson]

I don't think people quite understand the purpose of this exercise.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Here's an interesting one--Gore vs. Clinton '96:

Clinton (red) wins 320-218.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Here's an interesting one--Gore vs. Clinton '96:

Clinton (red) wins 320-218.

When seeing this map you can't not ask yourself : "what's the matter with Kansas ?"

[tpfkaw]

McCain vs. Dukakis

Exact tie 269-269 with '08 numbers.

[Antonio the Sixth]

He broke 50% in WI as well.

[Michaelf7777777]

Just checked my numbers and Teddy (1904) got a higher percentage than FDR (1936) got in all the states coloured green.

George HW Bush (1988) vs. George W Bush (2000) using 2008 EV's

George HW Bush - 448 EV's
George W Bush - 90 EV's

Samuel Tilden (1876) vs Grover Cleveland (1888) vs Al Gore (2000)

Al Gore - 296 EV's
Samuel Tilden - 178 EV's
Grover Cleveland - 64 EV's

John F Kennedy 1960 vs George W Bush 2000 using 2008 EV's

John F Kennedy - 271 EV's
George W Bush - 267 EV's

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Dukakis demolishes Clinton '92 based on 1992 EC votes.

[Nichlemn]

Dukakis demolishes Clinton '92 based on 1992 EC votes.

This looks like a standard pre-CRA Republican landslide, but NJ and NH are significant outliers.

[Michaelf7777777]

George Wallace (1968) vs. Robert La Follette (1924) vs Ross Perot (1992) using 2008 EV's

Ross Perot - 259 EV's
Robert La Follette - 142 EV's
George Wallace - 137 EV's

[minionofmidas]

That's a cute map. Vaguely reminds of this one...

[Pingvin]

Ross Perot - 273 EV
George Wallace - 140 EV
Robert La Folette - 122 EV
John Anderson - 3 EV

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.

I can see it.

Southerner A : "So our choice for President is between this Yankee Republican and some negro who claims to have traveled back in time 84 years and calls himself a Democrat"
Southerner B : "Are you kidding me?"
Southerner A : "It's true"
Southerner B : "No way!"
Southerner A: "Yes. I guess we have to vote for the Yankee Republican"
Southerner B: "Damn it"
Southerner A: "I know, this is awful"
Southerner B: "I still can't believe it"
Southerner A: "I know, it's pretty absurd"
Southerner B: "I could believe the part of about time travel, but a negro Democrat running for President?"
Southerner A: "Yeah, that's ridiculous"

[bgwah]

It's amazing how much some of these resemble recent elections. I can't help but wonder if we've already seen the 2016 and 2020 maps somewhere in this thread.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Dukakis demolishes Clinton '92 based on 1992 EC votes.

This looks like a standard pre-CRA Republican landslide, but NJ and NH are significant outliers.

For the states that were in the Union at the time, it's pretty close to 1864.  Or it could be  from the 1880s if Republicans somehow got control of Texas.

[Thomas D]

I know numbers are still coming in. But Nothing is so close that it could change.

Bush 2000 V. Romney

Bush 334
Romney 204

[RI]

Obama 2012 vs Bush 2004 is a narrow Bush win:

Kerry vs. Romney is a 290-248 Kerry win:

[retromike22]

2008 McCain vs. 2008 Primary Clinton vs. 2008 Primary Obama

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Here's an interesting one--Gore vs. Clinton '96:

Clinton (red) wins 320-218.

When seeing this map you can't not ask yourself : "what's the matter with Kansas ?"

Tipper Gore most likely.  Kansas seems like the kind of place that would have approved of her fight against explicit lyrics.

[Thomas D]

Since we've been making the comparison for years...

Dewey 1948 vs. Romney 2012

Dewey 290
Romney 241

Using 1940 numbers

[Nym90]

Here's an interesting one--Gore vs. Clinton '96:

Clinton (red) wins 320-218.

When seeing this map you can't not ask yourself : "what's the matter with Kansas ?"

Tipper Gore most likely.  Kansas seems like the kind of place that would have approved of her fight against explicit lyrics.

Even more likely: the fact that Clinton's opponent was a Kansan.

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

Mitt Romney vs. William Jennings Bryan (1896):

That's 226-221 Romney using 1896 numbers, and a win for Bryan using later numbers.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Same year, different race: Barack Obama vs. Bob Casey. Guess who has what color.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Along the same lines, Obama vs. Brown in Ohio. Adams County was tied.
