Kerry VS. McCain

[Eraserhead]

I took the individual state totals of both Kerry in 04 and McCain in 08 and made this map.

Kerry wins the popular vote 51% to 49% and EV count 293-245, but it produces one of the most polarized electoral maps ever as most states give 60% in support of their candidate with Colorado, Nevada and Ohio being the only three states decided by less than 4 points.

If Kerry had been the nominee this year that may well have been the map, actually.

I'm confident Kerry would have figured out a way to lose.
