Second Place
Gov. Angelo(D-WV)Sen. Lars Rock(D-NY)Sen. Alice Scarlet(D-AZ)Note: following 2016 primary schedule, except with Michigan and Florida moved earlier.
Senator Alice Scarlet of Arizona enters the Democratic primary as the leftist challengers to New York Senator Lars Rock. Governor Angelo of West Virginia, however, fears that her controversial nature could endanger chances to finally nominate a leftist candidate as president, and begins his own bid.
At first it looks like a two way race between Lars and Alice, But Angelo's unexpected second place finish in Iowa puts him firmly in the race. He does less well in New Hampshire, coming in third with roughly 23% of the vote. Nevada is great territory for both Alice due to her connections to the hispanic community(Senator from Arizona) and Lars for her relatively establishment rhetoric. It looks like the end for Angelo, but an upset win in michigan puts him back in the race. South Carolina and Florida come as blessings for Lars, finally giving her decisive victories.
Super Tuesday fails to make the primary clear, though it does give Lars an advantage. Alabama, Georgia, and Massachusetts go to Lars by a decent margin. But she only wins Arkansas by a narrow margin, with all three candidates doing okay there. Alice pulls off good wins in Colorado and Vermont and a narrow win in Texas. Angelo wins Tennessee and Oklahoma, along with coming close in Virginia and minimizing losses in other southern states.
In Mid March, Alice starts out with wins in Nebraska, Kansas, and Maine. Angelo makes second in all three races and Lars's delegate lead is shrinked. Louisiana narrowly goes for Lars, with Mississippi following suit. Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio go to Angelo, and Illinois goes to Lars.
Late March and early April are bad news for Lars. Alice wins Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Utah, and Washington, and Angelo wins Idaho, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. After Lars wins New York, Alice begins to falter. During the period from April until June, she only wins Oregon and Rhode Island. Angelo, meanwhile, sweeps the delegates in West Virginia, and wins a blowout in Kentucky, along with less impressive wins in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Indiana. Lars manages to win Maryland and Connecticut.
Alice dropped out of the race on May 20th and endorsed Angelo. She was polling badly in all remaining contests and was behind in delegates. The two remaining candidates competed viciously for California. Angelo emerged out on top, beating Lars by about ten points. Angelo went on a winning spree, adding Montana, both Dakota's, New Mexico, and DC while narrowly losing New Jersey.
On the first ballot no-one won. On the second ballot all of Alice's Delegates were unbound, and most switched to Angelo. Angelo won about 40% of super-delegates, and the nomination.
