maybe Howard Dean ran as an Independent and that would explain the Independent win in Vermont.

I guess the unlikeliest part about the map is the Dakotas voting Democratic.  Therefore I guess if they ran a popular moderate from either of the two states, that might do it.

If they ran somebody moderate enough that they could win ND and SD, then I expect a liberal third party candidate to run too.  That would explain Vermont, but not the high Democratic vote in Massachusetts.  Perhaps the third party couldn't get ballot access there?

The Republican could be libertarian leaning, which might help explain how AR and WV switch against him.  I'd put him as coming from Ohio or Michigan too.

Florida has a massive population explosion and do to it being a republican state global warming melts the ice caps (Wink) and all low lying areas including Florida and Louisiana flee to the other 48 states. Because the republicans still reside in the florida panhandle it remains solidly republican. The florida voters somehow screw up the ballots in many states. Ok now that I look at it the map is possible:

The candidates are a rapidly anti-death penalty populist democrat from the mid-west with a ru10nning mate from Colorado and a staunchly anti-gun controll anti-environmental regulation, conservative republican from the rustbelt with a running mate from the south.

Howard Dean makes a third party effort picking up only  Vermont
