What's a map look like?

Smith / Smith of course

[Rob]

Smith/Smith. Anti-Catholic sentiment would have played a role, but not as great as in 1928. He would have won, but by a smaller margin than FDR:

That means no New Deal. I'd definitely vote for Smith.

[Rob]

Yes, he was a true conservative. He would have been a fantastic President.

Heck, even this is theoretically possible if Smith really was that unpopular:



In all likelihood, Smith would have done better in the northeast and worse in the South and West (remember, Hoover won Texas)...facts which aren't reflected here.

And, if Hoover managed to win Iowa, he'd win the election.  Just thought PBrunsel'd like to know that.

Um, Smith would definately win New York. There's no way he could've lost it in 1932. And how would he lose MA when he won it in 1928?

As I said, Smith would likely do better in the Northeast and worse in the South and West--which I didn't put on these maps (they're based on a uniform swing).

if they're based on a uniform swing, he would've definatley won NY which he lost by only about 2 points, and MA, which he won the firs ttime.
