Presidential History

I stumbled across this site last night. This was made for US history buffs. It has detailed breakdowns and maps of every US Presidential election. It's amazing to watch the trends across the country from one election to the next--states going from red to blue to red again. For example, I learned a bit about the 1988 election (I was six at the time). California, New Jersey, and Connecticut all went for Bush. In today's political climate I can't imagine a Bush taking those states. And here's an interesting factoid: in 1912, Woodrow Wilson defeated two Presidents--Taft and Roosevelt--to win the White House.
