Obama vs Romney with Bush vs Kerry Demographics

[JRP1994]

Obama receives the same percentage of White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Others as John Kerry did, and Romney receives the same percentages that Bush did.

Obama/Biden : 279, 48.4%
Romney/Ryan: 259, 49.8%

Interesting notes:

1) Romney wins Nevada and New Mexico, despite losing Colorado.
2) Romney wins Virginia despite losing Ohio.
3) Romney wins National Popular Vote despite losing Electoral College Vote

Could you post the link to that calculator? I'd like to try it on more than one as well.

It doesn't give you a popular vote, and it was for 2008, so the electoral map is wrong, but you can easily see what it is now.

Just curious, for that map/EV count, did you use 2012 or 2004 electoral vote allocation?
