Most of the discussion appears centered on Obama-Bush similarities (they both won) and Kerry-Romney similarities (they both lost). I think the nore salient point is that a net swing of just 3% of voters changed a 50-48 GOP win into a 51-47 Dem win. Nearly every state voted similar in 2004 and 2012, even those that changed from Bush to Obama. What I find intriguing is the handful of areas that swung more Republican from 2004 to 2012: Massachusetts, West Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and perhaps a handful of others.
