[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

I used "10% or less" as my definition of "close". Granted, NM barely was within the range, so I could understand you not including it.

As for UT, I already said it wasn't close.

On the contrary, it makes the voters seem just a little bit less pathetic in the Plains

2008:

Hillary Clinton 351-187 John McCain

Hillary Clinton runs better in the early game and has a sizable lead by the time Obama gets his name out there. She chooses some generic neoliberal as her running mate and easily defeats McCain as expected.

Hillary Clinton 303-Mitt Romney 235

2012 is pretty similar to ours, with Clinton actually gaining a state (VA) while on the defense. GOP congress and such. Romney's too aloof and upper class to pull it off.

David Becerra (R-FL) / Mike Pence (R-IN) 326 EV

Barack Obama (D-IL) / Generic Dem (D-MA)

David Becerra becomes the first Latin American president. The biggest issue of this campaign is relations with Europe, with Obama supporting strong relations with Europe and Becerra supporting better ties with the third world and east asia and competing against Europe for these markets. His economic policy is somewhat protectionist.

Bigger Bush win in 1988
Bush wins all states he lost by 10% or less, gets a swing of 5% to him from Dukakis, so 10% total swing.
