How do you figure out the state results?

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I could see several scenarios for this, but here's just one:

Goldwater- 313
Scott- 225
Goldwater prioritizes economic issues and thus makes inroads with moderates/suburbanites, helping him carry much of the Upper Midwest and gaining in other regions.  Goldwater's libertarisn streak and Scott's ties to the Northeast make Pennsylvania and especially New Hampshire two of the closest states in the race.  Ultimately, Scott's ties to the Northeast give him both states, but he is only awarded New Hampshire after a recount.

This would be a very interesting one.  Sorry if I did this one before:

Goldwater- 361
drj-177

Goldwater wins by a near-landslide margin by attacking drj as a left-wing extremist while appealing more to moderates than most Republicans.

TM -- 413
Oldies -- 125

How did I end up as a Democrat (if that's a general election map), and how on earth did I carry the South (especially if it's a GOP primary?)

Because you're freaking Batman, that's how.

Oldiesfreak-
Tmth-
Tmth takes Iowa, Oldies takes New Hampshire. T counters with consectutive wins in Florida and South Carolina. But in a surprise upset, Oldiesfreak pulls it out in Nevada, and then takes Maine and Minnesota, while Tmth takes Colorado and Missouri. It goes into the Summer and goes to Brokered Convention......
OR
It starts the same, but on in late March, Tmth ends Oldiesfreak's campaign with a win in Illionis. He is then chosen as VP nominee.

Why is Maine green if I won it?

The nomination of two libertarians by both major party tickets leads to the rise of a powerful third party nationalist, protectionist, radical centrist party. In the end, the third party does just well enough to come close to a victory in the EC, but ends up sending the election to the House instead. The House elects Goldwater president, owing to it's Republican majority.

Independent third party populist ticket (I-?): 265
Sen. SJoyceFla (D-FL): 169
Sen. Goldwater (R-WA): 104

President Goldwater and Vice President SJoyce--that would be an interesting combination!

Goldwater- 349
Nix- 189

Governor Scott (D-CT)
Senator TNF (D-KY)

The race for the Democratic nomination ends up being a two-way contest between moderate Senator TNF of Kentucky and Governor Scott of Connecticut, the favorite of the liberal establishment.  Although TNF wins more contests, Scott wins by large majorities in California and New York, handing him the nomination.  In a peacemaking gesture, however, Scott selects TNF as his running mate.

Sen. TNF (D-KY) 337
Gov. Goldwater (R-WA): 201

[Oldiesfreak1854]

A tight race but Oldies wins because of the conservative democrats which allow him to win Pennsylvania

How did I win without my home state?

Popular democrat kentucky governor wins in a tight race: 273-265
As a native son of kentucky, TNF overperforms democrats score in Kentucky and West Virginia, running as a pro-labour and a pro gun rights. Governor Maxwell (R-MT), running as a libertarian, successfully wins republican endorsement after their candidate, Chris Christie, dies because of his health problem. Both candidates are focusing on economy, that's why Maxwell succesfully wins Nevada, Colorado, and even democratic states like New Jersey, Maine and New Hampshire. Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia are the battleground states. Maxwell finally loses them because of his position on farm subsidies which allows the first socialist to win a presidential race.

New Hampshire's not really a Democratic state.  It's a swing state, but it generally goes to Democrats anyway.

Gov. Cathcon (R-MI)/Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS): 342
Sen. Scott (D-CT)/Fmr. Gov. Ted Strickland (D-OH): 196

Senator Roman Hurska (D-NE)

Shouldn't that be an R by his name?
