[Mr. Smith]

Since 1916 and 2004 look nearly identical, and both had the controversial incumbent barely win and then become hated in the next term, this was inevitable

Losers (Kerry [D-MA] vs Hughes [R-NY])

Winners (Bush [R-TX] vs Wilson [D-NJ])

Come up with a plausible scenario for this:

[Kingpoleon]

Come up with a plausible scenario for this:

1988: Fmr. Pres. Ford/Sen. Mark Hatfield v. Fmr. Pres. Carter/Gov. Buddy Roemer

[Slow Learner]

Come up with a plausible scenario for this:

Nixon landslide against Kennedy.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

A LIBERAL AMERICA

1972:

George McGovern is elected the 38th president of the United States after Nixon's running mate, Spiro Agnew is charged with bribery, fearing loss of support, Nixon drops Agnew in favor for Treasury Secretary John Connolly. McGovern survives the convention and chooses Shirley Chisholm as his running mate. In late July, Wallace saw his chance and ran on a third party ticket after the choosing of Chisholm as VP. He chose Governor Lester Maddox as his running mate, and won most of the South in a close three way race.



1976:

George McGovern surprisingly faces no serious opposition for the democratic nomination except for a couple conservative congressmen. Lester Maddox, determined to start re-segregation runs with Curtis LeMay again the VP nominee, but fails to strike momentum. Nixon has been arrested and so has Agnew, and Vietnam is over. The Republicans nominate John Connolly and Bob Dole. McGovern wins re-election.

1980:

Ted Kennedy is nominated in a very close primary over Edmund Muskie, Jimmy Carter, and Cliff Finch. He chooses Finch as his veep, Wallace seriously considered going third party but declined. He joined the Republican party and stated he was voting for them. The Republicans nominated John Danforth and Jack Kemp. The death of conservatism was near....

[Mr. Smith]

1976 vs 2012

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

George Wallace is never shot and wins many more primaries. He secures the Democratic nomination at the convention and selects Jimmy Carter as his running mate. He wanted to secure the liberal and conservative vote in the elections and basically lose the moderates to Nixon. Wallace/Carter won a narrow victory over Nixon/Agnew. In the following years, he'd face many challenges but surprisingly tackle them, and swiftly take over North Vietnam much to the expense of his approval ratings.

President Wallace is decisively re-elected against Lowell Weicker/George H. W. Bush, it seemed as if racism were alive again in America, however, racism was not everywhere. The Wallace administration would be sighted as one of the greatest presidencies in history.

1. Electoral Losers Mondale vs Landon with their native Popular Percentages against each other.

2. Popular Losers  [by two way] (Landon vs Cox)

3. Popular Winners (Nixon '72 vs LBJ)

1984 vs. 1972

President Richard Nixon (R-CA)/Vice President Spiro Agnew (R-MD) [1972 Results] - 50.8%, 369 EV's
Governor Ronald Reagan (D-CA)/Governor Michael Dukakis (D-MA) [1984 Results] - 49.2%, 169 EV's

Ron Paul 2012 heat map:

4-8%, 8-10%, 10-12%, 12-18%, 18-24%, >24%

Apart from the Deep South, most of the variation looks like it comes from caucus states and late primary states.

Here is another map that controls for the calendar and primary/caucus system:

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Fittingly enough, a good mirror of what elections were "supposed" to look like between, say, 1952 and 1976.

Former Vice President Richard Nixon (R-NY)/Governor Spiro T. Agnew (R-MD) 318 electoral votes
Governor William J. Clinton (D-AR)/Senator Albert Gore Jr. (D-TN) 220 electoral votes

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Weirdest thing I've ever seen.

Former State Senator Eugene V. Debs (D-IN) 298 electoral votes
Congressman John B. Anderson (R-IL) 230 electoral votes

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Former President Martin Van Buren (D-NY) 169 electoral votes
Senator John Bell (W-TN) 121 electoral votes

Van Buren 1848 vs. John Bell 1860. Fell surprisingly predictably along free vs. slave lines. Makes sense, I guess.

[Mr. Smith]

1912 vs 1924 Part 1

1. The Winners (Wilson vs Coolidge)

Calvin Coolidge
Woodrow Wilson

Not surprised by this one at all, looks like a typical early 20th century GOP landslide

2. The Ideological Opposites (Teddy vs Davis)

John W. Davis
Teddy Roosevelt

Surprising, but I guess Bryan on the ticket really did help swing Nebraska,...more surprising that Teddy lost.

3. The Midwesterners (Taft vs LaFollette)

W.H. Taft
Robert M. LaFollette

Georgia really disliked Republicans before Goldwater I guess.

[Mr. Smith]

1912 vs 1924 Part II

1. Progressive vs Progressive

Teddy Roosevelt
Robert M. LaFollette

2. Conservative vs Conservative

John W. Davis
W.H. Taft

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

1920's Parley Christensen and 2012's Gary Johnson both got 0.99% of the vote.

Christensen's was concentrated in just a few states, namely Washington and South Dakota where he got about 20%. Johnson's was far more spread out. Johnson was on ballots in all states except OK and MI (he was a write-in in MI though) and Christensen was only on 19 ballots. I have only included results from those 19 states in which Christensen was on the ballot. Johnson's second best state, Montana was one of Christensen's stronger states. Both NY and PN were within 0.05% of going to Christensen, which would have given him the election.

Former Governor Gary Johnson (L-NM) - 131

Former State Representative Parley Christensen (F.L.-UT) - 69

1912 vs 1924 Part II

1. Progressive vs Progressive

Teddy Roosevelt
Robert M. LaFollette

2. Conservative vs Conservative

John W. Davis
W.H. Taft

Before you posted the conservative vs conservative  I thought you would do Coolidge vs Taft which is an obvious Coolidge landslide

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

Apologies for the crappy quality. Wiki is stupid and uses transparent images which turn black when I put them into Paint, so I had to take a screenshot of the blank map.

Raymond Haight (Progressive Party of CA in 1934) vs. Tom McClintock (Republican Party in 2003 recall)

McClintock beats Haight by about 0.4% in the popular vote. The county map is really wonky though.
