Santorum nominated in 2012

What would the map look like?

[The Govanah Jake]

He wouldn't have the same difficulty of being labeled as a big monied insider and his more populist toned campaign could help him in the Midwest. But his more ideologically extreme rhetoric would hurt him among moderates and suburbanites in crucial swing states like Virginia.

Obama - 305
Santorum - 235

[Mr. Smith]

Obama/Biden
Santorum/Corker

Black and Hispanic turnout is more enthusiastic to stop Frothy than Romney, this is enough to retain North Carolina and Florida.

However, Iowa gets lost.

Disagree on NC: his religious conservatism will help him in the south, but not enough in FL.

Obama's OTL '12 map + North Carolina and maybe any one of NE-CD2, Georgia, or Arizona.

341: Barack Obama/Joe Biden - 53.0%
197: Rick Santorum/Jan Brewer - 44.9%
Others - 2.1%

197: Rick Santorum/Jan Brewer - 44.9%
Others - 2.1%

Firstly, why does Obama lose Iowa?
Secondly, why does he win the popular vote by 8.1% but only get 341 Electoral Votes?

Arizona, Iowa, and Georgia are all pretty close, but at the end of the day, it was Obama’s enlarged margins in Democratic states that pushed him up to 53%.

Eh, I guess I can see that.

[killertahu22]

He loses at least as bad as Romney

[Lechasseur]

Probably about the same map as Romney's, maybe Santorum picks up Iowa but that's all.
