He'll also get the loser vote, which could swing several other states.

Indeed. That would ensure breaking 70% everywhere in the world.

I think if both candidates were allowed to have about 5 or 6 running mates, you could spread them out geographically, such that the outcome of every state was determined by the geographical proximity of the state to the running mate's home state. Too bad the constitution doesn't allow for that.

The Constitution does allow that.

The Constitution does allow that.

It would seem to result in the VP being of a different party from POTUS, unless the electors were unfaithful.

No. It would result (if it was the winning party as did that) in the VP being picked by the Senate, though.
