I know he said it looked like '76, not that it was.  I was just posting the link to the actual '76 results.

C'mon man, that post was from seven years ago, and PBrunsel's long gone. And we all get what he said.

How do you adjust the electoral vote numbers?

A hypothetical Hoover vs. Smith rematch in 1932, based off of Smith's 1928 percentages and Hoover's 1932 percentages.

For example, Smith won 45% of the vote in Connecticut in 1928 and Hoover won 48% in 1932. Adding the sum of their vote percentages gives Hoover a 51%, so he wins that state. This is how the map turned out:

Governor Al Smith (D-NY) / Senator Joseph T. Robinson (D-AR) 321 electoral votes, 50.7% of the popular vote
President Herbert Hoover (R-CA) / Vice President Charles Curtis (R-KS) 210 electoral votes, 49.3% of the popular vote.

Many states were extremely close, Illinois, Nebraska and Kentucky being decided by a margin of less than one percent.

The results were pretty surprising, I didn't expect Hoover to lose Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Upper Plains while winning West Virginia.

Smith's best state was South Carolina, where he won 93.28% of the vote.
Hoover's best state was Vermont, where he won 63.69% of the vote.

I was surprised the popular vote was as narrow as it was, considering Smith won comfortably in the electoral vote and his massive margins in the South. However, Hoover won a lot of large industrial states by fair margins, like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Many of Smith's larger states were won narrowly, like Illinois and New York.

How did you calculate that?

Clinton/Gore vs. Bush/Perot?

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I'm thinking about making a timeline out of this:

2000

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)/Gov. George W. Bush (R-TX): 399 EVs (55% PV)
Vice Pres. Al Gore (D-TN)/Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT): 139 EVs (42% PV)

2004

Pres. John McCain (R-AZ)/Vice Pres. George W. Bush (R-TX): 495 EVs (57% PV)
Sen. John Kerry (D-MA)/Sen. John Edwards (D-NC): 43 EVs (41% PV)

2008

Vice Pres. George W. Bush (R-TX)/Fmr. Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA): 334 EVs (52% PV)
Sen. John Edwards (D-NC)/Fmr. Gov. Howard Dean (D-VT): 204 EVs (46% PV)

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Fmr. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Fmr. Gov. Martin O'Malley (D-MD): 443 EVs (57% PV)
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)/Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI): 95 EVs (40%) PV

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Fmr. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Fmr. Gov. Lincoln Chafee (D-RI): 406 EVs (56% PV)
Mr. Donald Trump (R-NY)/Fmr. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN): 132 EVs (41% PV)

[Oldiesfreak1854]

2000

Senator John McCain (R-AZ)/Gov. George W. Bush (R-TX): 354 EVs (52% PV)
Vice Pres. Al Gore (D-TN)/Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT): 184 EVs (46% PV)

After narrowly defeating George W. Bush in the South Carolina primary, John McCain's campaign for the Republican presidential nomination was on a roll.  He quickly began gaining ground in the remaining contests, defeating or running close behind Bush in several states.  By Super Tuesday, McCain had taken the lead in national polls and won most of that day's contests.  After several more weeks of duking it out, Bush withdrew from the race, making McCain the party's presumptive nominee.  In an attempt to make peace with Bush supporters and solidify the conservative base, McCain offered Bush the vice-presidential slot, which the Texas governor quickly accepted.  

In the general election, the McCain/Bush ticket faced Vice President Al Gore and Senator Joe Lieberman.  Suddenly, an expectedly close race between Bush and Gore transformed into one soon favored the GOP.  Many moderates who had deserted the GOP to support Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996 saw McCain as an acceptable candidate.  McCain played this to his advantage, touting himself in TV ads as "a different kind of Republican."  In the debates, Gore cratered as he made several missteps, including sighing during an answer by Senator McCain and invading his personal space.  Many swing voters who were already suspicious of Gore quickly expressed their disapproval in the polls.  On Election Day, Senator McCain and Governor Bush won decisively, improving vastly the GOP's previous numbers with moderates, women, minorities, and even liberals.  They narrowly took Gore's home state of Tennessee and ran strong in socially conservative coal-mining regions which previously had been the stronghold of New Deal Democrats.  The inroads that McCain made prevented Gore from breaking even 60% in any state.  The Clinton Coalition appeared to be on the verge of collapse.
