This map has to do with place names.

I realized I forgot to answer this. The correct answer is that every state in red has a Montgomery County.

Just curious: would you stipulate that Muskie won in that '72 map because of Wallace or in spite of Wallace? Good maps!

That's a hard one. I mean let's say Wallace didn't run, the South, perhaps with the exception of North Carolina (due to Terry Sanford) would've gone Republican. Even with all of the Southern electoral votes, the Republicans would have been well short of a victory.

However, taking the Northern states with large conservative Democrat populations, like Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia into account, things become more complicated. Wallace would've made it harder for both candidates to win these states and only one of Muskie's states would be needed to create a hung college, which would've been Wallace's strategy.

So in the end I'd say Muskie won in spite of Wallace, not because of.

The Rise of the Machines, Pt. 1
Having beaten the more conservative George W. Bush in the Republican primaries, McCain, believing that his "maverick" style was on the rise, decided to make the history-making pick of fellow centrist Susan Collins for Vice President. This would prove his undoing in the general election, as, in a race where both major party nominees failed to satisfy the base, Gore nevertheless won out.

Vice President Albert Gore, Jr. (D-TN)/Senator Joseph I. Lieberman (D-CT) 298 electoral votes, 48.0% of the popular vote
Senator John S. McCain (R-AZ)/Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) 240 electoral votes, 47.5% of the popular vote
Mr. Ralph Nader (I-CT)/Ms. Winon LaDuke (I-MN) 3.0% of the popular vote
Mr. Patrick J. Buchanan (R-VA)/Ms. Ezola Foster (R-CA) .9% of the popular vote
Others: .6% of the popular vote

2004 Republican Primaries
Having lost the nomination four years earlier, Texas Governor George W. Bush was not to be denied. With the moderate vote split and grassroots conservatives uniting with big money behind the Texan, Bush won the nomination easily. While Gore had considered dumping Lieberman throughout his second half, it was clear he would need to play up his "national security" credentials against the hawkish Republican ticket of Bush and Giuliani. Gore's paleo-liberal Vice President was the best way for him to do that.

Green - Senator Susan Collins of Maine
Yellow - Congressman Ronald E. Paul of Texas

2004
Despite an energetic campaign by Bush, Gore was able to use the advantage of incumbency to his advantage. Pouring vast amount of money into Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida, he was able to tap into suburbanites and blue collar workers who he convinced shouldn't be moved to "change horses in mid-stream" despite "Republican attempts at fear-mongering". Defending his administration's record on the war, he asked Americans which party had kept them safe after 9/11 and was delivered victory. Lieberman's attempts to achieve heavy Jewish turnout were helpful as well.

President Albert Gore, Jr. (D-TN)/Vice President Joseph I. Lieberman (D-CT) 307 electoral votes, 50.2% of the popular vote
Governor George W. Bush (R-TX)/Former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani (R-WY) 231 electoral votes, 49.2% of the popular vote
Mr. Ralph Nader (I-CT)/Mr. Peter Camejo (I-CA) 0 electoral votes, .4% of the popular vote
Others: .2% of the popular vote

2008 Democratic Primaries
The Democrats sustained heavy losses in 2006 for a multitude of reasons: the souring economy, another unpopular Gore tax hike, the failing war effort in Afghanistan, a number of smaller semi-successful terrorist attacks, and Gore's attempts to turn the national agenda towards the environment in the midst of all this. The party would even lose in solidly liberal states such as New York where popular incumbent Hillary Clinton went down to plurality-winner Rudy Giuliani. Meanwhile, Republicans won both the House and the Senate. This set the tone for the 2008 primaries in which Vice President Lieberman would have to defend the administration while being besieged from both the right and the left. While Howard Dean would lead a civil liberties and anti-war campaign, Senator John Edwards of North Carolina campaigned on a centrist, populist, and hawkish platform. Despite largely left-of-center rhetoric, Edwards' attitudes and image would appeal to Southern and conservative Democrats who liked neither the "hippie" nor the "Jew". Despite the Democrats being tired of nominating Southerners, by building a coalition of lower-class and Southern whites, Latinos, and blacks, Edwards was able to trump his two opponents. In order to appeal to non-Southern interests and women, Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius was selected for Vice President.

Green - Former Governor Howard Dean of Vermont

2008 Republican Primaries
Despite both Giuliani and Collins hoping to benefit from what was perceived as a "conservative loss" in 2004, such was not to be due to the emergence of a new frontrunner after his 2006 re-election. In 2004, in an effort to appeal to immigrants and win votes in the South-West, Gore endorsed the 28th Amendment which would allow any citizen of 35 years' residency in the United States to run for President. Passing in 2005, it took effect in time for the 2008 election. With that, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger took the lead in most polls. A moderate and pro-reform Governor with an independent streak. Schwarzenegger was able to pick up enough of the Republicans' left wing while also appealing to several other groups of voters. Proposing that his administration would trigger the death knell for worldwide terrorism as Ronald Reagan had done for communism, bring an end to climate change, and usher in a new era of tax cuts to combat the recession, Schwarzenegger proved popular in many quarters. However, he would not be without his opponents. Evangelical groups and civil liberties activists in particular were opposed to what some of them referred to as a "Neo-Rockefellerian Republican disguised as a Reaganite". Nevertheless, the campaigns of Mike Huckabee and Chuck Hagel wouldn't be merely swept away.

That actually looks like a pretty realistic potential map for 2044, though I think that Arkansas and Oklahoma will go 70% Republican and feel that Virginia and Maryland will be about 60% Democratic.
