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 partisan 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.
Interesting map. It's funny that McCain got more votes out of the Deep South than Bush did, despite getting fewer overall votes.

Anti- black man votes mostly. In 2004 race was not on peoples minds.
