Tilden vs. Blaine 1876

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

Blaine would maintain his innocence throughout the campaign (he was a Half-breed) and softens the blow. It hurts him a little, but a little is all it takes to swing things into Tilden's favor in 1876.

All my map was is a 2% swing to Tilden nationwide. I don't think that this is too unrealistic. Thus, many states that Hayes won with less than 4.00% swing to Tilden. Also, I think that Tilden would win WI, PA, CA, and OR if he would also win IL since he lost Illinois by a greater percentage than he lost those other four states.

Didn't know it was law for states to vote together.

I'm just saying I think that a swing of 2% nationwide will be roughly evenly distributed. It might not have been, but that does not change my point that Tilden would still win. Still, was Blaine really unpopular in IL or what? Hayes won the state by 3.5%, yet you have it going for Tilden while you have states that voted for Hayes by narrower margins going to Blaine.

Different people are strong in different states. I don't see what's so hard to get about that.  Granted the politics of 1876 are different than 2008, but come on.

Hopefully, James Blaine would win.

Why would you favor Blaine over Tilden?

Samuel Tilden was a racist corrupt hypocrite. His legacy of being a 'Reformer' is largely exaggerated.

Tilden was acquitted of all charges against him I believe. Besides, he was a Bourbon Democrat, fought for low taxes.
