Just looked at that electoral map, why is it that without any states changing hands this election is swung 14 votes toward republicans?

US Census.

In the 2010 census Republican states had a population boom in comparison to Democratic ones... partially because due to the GFC, Republican states are actually doing a lot better job and economics wise comparativly then before the GFC.

I looked this up (http://www.270towin.com/blog/electoral-college/electoral-votes-in-2012) and found a preview of increases and decreases back in feb 2008 that is very accurate to the 2010 numbers, so I wouldn't say it was predominantly affected by gfc or "who was doing better than whom post gfc", since the numbers were known so far back.
