President Goldwater (R-WA)/Vice-President Ben Constine (D-VA) - 244Prisoner #24602 Theodore N. "TNF" Feldstein (D-KY)/Congressman Snowstalker (D-PA) - 234Governor Maxwell (R-OK)/Senator SJoyce (D-FL) (Libertarian ticket) - 60Mr. Albert "A" Person (Green - IL)/Lief (Green - VT) - 0After being elected to a first term, President Goldwater shocked most observers by adopting an extremely neo-conservative foreign policy and starting preemptive wars in Israel, Iran, and Syria. After the sudden death of Vice President Cathcon during a secret skull and bones hazing ritual for members who joined after college, the President appointed Ben Constine, the Democratic President of AIPAC Vice-President. This was the last straw Oklahoma Governor and outspoken Libertarian Maxwell who formed a bipartisan Libertarian ticket that ironically didn't include any actual members of the Libertarian party (which explains its unexpectedly strong performance). Ultimately, the election went to the House and while Governor Maxwell threw his support to the Democratic nominee, Theodore Nantucket "TNF" Feldstein, enough Democrats defected in protest of the fact that their party had nominated a socialist currently doing time in a federal prison to re-elect President Goldwater. However, the Democratic controlled Senate elected Congressman Snowstalker Vice-President as retaliation for Vice-President Constine's decision to run on the Republican ticket.
