The west backed Wilson, but that was a one shot deal. They usually voted Republican.

Not always

Demographics are different (very, very different in places), the parties are different, the issues are different etc.
Everyone that voted in 1916 was dead by 2000

Last year a man died who could have voted in 1912. He was almost 114.

Wilson was chosen by Democrat party bosses because he was the most Comservative candidate in 1912, TR being the liberal Candidate, Taft the Moderate. 
So perhaps its not surprising that the 1916 map for a conservative looks like the 2004 map for a conservative.

I thought that Taft was more conservative than Wilson.
Anyways, an interesting what-if would be Wilson/Marshall vs. Taft/Roosevelt
