Title: Make up a map between you and the preceding poster.
Post by: solarstorm on August 01, 2012, 05:37:38 AM
To make it a little more exciting, the preceding poster is to win. Nevertheless, the map should be somewhat realistic.

I don't know anything about your politics other than that you called yourself a secular conservative. :P  Here we go.

In the form of a Democratic primary, based on the 2008 schedule:

(
)

Former Governor Snowstalker (D-PA), a populist-leaning left-winger, takes the Iowa caucus. However, the more fiscally moderate but social issues-focused Senator Scott (D-CT) wins New Hampshire. After Snow's easy victory in Michigan and Scott's slightly closer win in Nevada, it becomes a clear two-man race. Snowstalker's coalition of blacks and the remaining rural white Democrats wins him South Carolina. Hoping that his minority and poor white coalition can work in Florida (especially being a Cuban-American), he swings south, but Scott's better fundraising and numbers in Central and the non-Cuban areas of South Florida win him the day.

(
)

Super Tuesday is probably a win for Scott. Snowstalker sweeps the South and parts of the Midwest and Southwest, but Scott sweeps the Northeast and the key battlegrounds of New York and California.

(
)

Showing that he isn't just the out-of-touch blueblood that the Snowstalker campaign tried to pin him as, Scott makes some inroads into rural primaries before March, and seems to have the momentum.

(
)

Texas is a big win for Scott, though Snowstalker fights on until June, winning Puerto Rico, but Scott claims a bare majority of delegates in the South Dakota and Montana primaries.

NYJew - 1 Electoral Vote, 100% of the popular vote.
Snowstalker (deceased) - 0 Electoral Votes, 0% of the popular vote.

Shortly before the election is due to take place, incumbent President BRTD causes a nuclear apocalypse over a diplomatic snafu in which the Chinese premier misquoted some emoviolence lyrics. The entire species was annihilated in the ensuing global thermonuclear Armageddon, except for NYJew, who was in his lead-coated basement putting the finishing touches on a tinfoil yarmulke when the bombs started to fall, and escaped radiation poisoning. He voted and, being the only person in the world, won the election.

While technically winning New York's 29 electoral votes, he could only receive one as no-one else was alive to cast the other 28 Electoral College votes.

This is pretty much the only plausible scenario I could come up with for anyone voting for NYJew.

Let's say Oakvale and I are the two main candidates running for the Democratic nomination. Oakvale runs a quasi-libertarian, socially liberal campaign that calls for relatively moderate economic positions while I run a more economically-focused campaign with a social platform that's slightly right of center. Using the 2012 R primaries as a guide (why not?):

I (green) jump out to an early lead on more rural states while Oakvale (red) does better in suburban states. He runs slightly better, though it's close, in the west.

(
)

However, Oakvale builds up some momentum going into Super Tuesday thanks to social liberals. Other candidates drop out after MO/CO/MN.

(
)

I strike back by winning the South on Super Tuesday, but Oakvale carries on. I keep winning in the South, but the large delegate prizes are still in play.

(
)

Oakvale wins a crucial showdown in Illinois, and follows it up with a win in Wisconsin and Maryland. When the northeastern primaries roll around, I manage to win PA, but nothing else.

(
)

My campaign fumbles in North Carolina on the strength of the Research Triangle, overriding victories in Indiana and West Virginia. Again I'm dealt a surprise defeat in Nebraska. I narrowly hold on to Texas, but Oakvale decisively sweeps the first contests of June to claim a bare delegate majority on the final day (with a final push by superdelegates aiding him in the process).

Tough one I guess; I would struggle being a gayer but ironically given realistics um...let's just say 'regression' on the issue of gay rights it would give me a bit of a cushion! As does him being centre left to my centre right on economics. Still he would win.

Basically, voters in most of the Southern states become so disdained at the fact that both afleitch and I are firm supporters of gay marriage that most of them write in candidates that aren't even eligible for the presidency.  As a result, neither of us win the popular votes or electoral votes in those states.  Still, afleitch manages to squeak in 270 electoral votes to win without having the election go to Congress to decide.

Afleitch (Independent) - 270 EVs
Scott (Democratic) - 168 EVs
Unaffiliated - 100 EVs

Done as Republican primaries because why not? Gov. and incumbent President 20RP12 of Pennsylvania enters the primary season as the favorite to win a nod for his second term, with his libertarian-flavored conservatism allowing him to win over large sections of the Republican base; however, Rep. SJoyceFla of Florida is running a grassroots insurgency and is expected to perform well in caucuses and open contests; he performs better than expected in Iowa, but 20RP12 still wins overwhelmingly. However, in the New Hampshire primary, SJoyceFla manages to pull off an upset by the slimmest of margins. SJoyceFla does not seriously contest the South Carolina primary, where he is soundly trounced, preferring to focus his efforts on his home state of Florida, efforts which pay off with a win. All eyes turn to Nevada, where SJoyceFla manages to win over enough Clark County voters to outweigh 20RP12's, handing him the victory there.

(
)

Heading into Super Tuesday, the momentum seems to be in SJoyceFla's favor, although victories in Michigan and Arizona keep 20RP12 from being knocked out of the race entirely. Wins in crucial states such as Colorado, Maine, and Minnesota have encouraged crucial donations to SJoyceFla's campaign, though 20RP12 still holds a large fundraising lead.

(
)

Super Tuesday is inconclusive; both candidates win 5 states each. Contests following Super Tuesday include 20RP12 doing better than before, but his win in Puerto Rico is negated by SJoyceFla's wins in Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands.

(
)

April proves to be a great relief for 20RP12's campaign. After easy wins in Illinois and Missouri, the campaign shifts to the east. Early April sees SJoyceFla picking off DC and Wisconsin, but 20RP12 holds Maryland. Late-April contests are almost entirely in the Northeast, where 20RP12 is a native and a former Governor, and he does quite well, with SJoyceFla managing to win Delaware but nowhere else.

(
)

With the race coming down to its final days, both candidates go all in with ad buys in key states. Texas is exceptionally close, but after several days of counts and recounts, it is determined that 20RP12 has won that state, and with it the right to be referred to as the "presumptive nominee". SJoyceFla pledges to fight on to the convention, and manages to win two more states (New Mexico and Montana) before the close of the primary season, but in the end 20RP12 triumphs, and not even the support of 150+ superdelegates can succeed in giving SJoyceFla the nomination or even making the convention open.

The Republicans decide to run Sarah Palin, and are quickly eclipsed by SJoyceFla, the Libertarian candidate, who faces off against Democratic Senator Alfred F. Jones. He narrowly ekes out a win in the Electoral College, despite losing the popular vote: Palin drains support from him in a 1912-esque fashion and almost wins the Deep South.

President Jones's term is plagued with issues through no real fault of his own, but Senator Nathan of Massachusetts decides to challenge him in the primaries regardless. Nathan's stridently left-wing and somewhat agrarian economic outlook and eclectic stances on a few social issues that depart from liberal Democratic orthodoxy win him the Iowa caucuses, but the President is able to run up margins with more left-libertarian primary voters in New Hampshire, and after a disappointingly narrow win with South Carolina's heavily rural black primary electorate and heavy losses in Florida (due to the Senator's barely-hidden disdain for the state) and Nevada (Las Vegas), Nathan all but suspends his campaign, winning a few more primaries in sparsely populated Western states and his native Massachusetts before endorsing the President.

No need for me to make a map against Nathan. Nathan would kick my ass. I think I may be able to nail down Wyoming and Alaska. After that, it becomes pretty tough. Un-closeted atheists, who have never married, and are very hostile to farm subsidies to boot, are electoral road kill. And I am too right wing to do more than run better than usual for a Pub in the more left wing, less religious, more tolerant zones. It would be a bloodbath really. Heck, I would even lose the LDS vote. Thank you. :)

Once again, Democratic primary.

(

Though the lefty candidate Snowstalker is favored by the base (or at least the more economically-leftist base), Thomas has a wider geographic base of support, as well as support from most of the Democratic establishment. Snowstalker takes Iowa, Michigan (labor support), and Nevada (labor plus Hispanics), but Thomas D nabs New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida. Super Tuesday favors Thomas D; though both take many states, D wins the big ones. After sweeping on March 4th (except a narrow Snowstalker victory in Ohio), Snowstalker drops out, but still wins PA.

Early polls show a lead for Rep candidate Pingvin, but throughout the campaign, he commits numerous gaffes making him come across as bigoted, xenophobic and authoritarian. Even though I am also perceived as an extremist, independents eventually swing on my side out of scare for Pingvin (I would make some efforts to look more moderate). The margin is close due to high Pingvin percentages in the South, but overall the EC is solid.

Governor Napoleon of Connecticut: 264 EV / 49.7%
Govnur Griffin of Georgia: 274 EV/48.8%

(
)

With both candidates hailing from the more liberal side of politics, Govnur Griffin is free to pursue a southern strategy that allows him to paint Governor Napoleon as an out-of-touch Northeastern Statist, despite being to the left of the Governor. This allows Griffin to sweep many states in the South and Midwest, while Governor Napoleon performs well in the Northeast and Pacific/Mountain West.

With razon thin margins in Arizona, Ohio and Illinois (all less than 50,000), Arizona and Missouri (less than 25,000) and Iowa (7,000 votes), Govnur Griffin wins the Electoral College while losing the popular vote by nearly 1.1 million votes.

The election goes to the House, where Hash takes all the republican votes and a fair number of democratic ones, enough to win.

In the form of a Democratic primary, based on the 2008 schedule:

(
)

Former Governor Snowstalker (D-PA), a populist-leaning left-winger, takes the Iowa caucus. However, the more fiscally moderate but social issues-focused Senator Scott (D-CT) wins New Hampshire. After Snow's easy victory in Michigan and Scott's slightly closer win in Nevada, it becomes a clear two-man race. Snowstalker's coalition of blacks and the remaining rural white Democrats wins him South Carolina. Hoping that his minority and poor white coalition can work in Florida (especially being a Cuban-American), he swings south, but Scott's better fundraising and numbers in Central and the non-Cuban areas of South Florida win him the day.

(
)

Super Tuesday is probably a win for Scott. Snowstalker sweeps the South and parts of the Midwest and Southwest, but Scott sweeps the Northeast and the key battlegrounds of New York and California.

(
)

Showing that he isn't just the out-of-touch blueblood that the Snowstalker campaign tried to pin him as, Scott makes some inroads into rural primaries before March, and seems to have the momentum.

(
)

Texas is a big win for Scott, though Snowstalker fights on until June, winning Puerto Rico, but Scott claims a bare majority of delegates in the South Dakota and Montana primaries.

California Gubernatorial Election, 2022

()

After the first round, two Democrats face off once again in the second round, Democrat Antonio from San Francisco and Democrat Koenkai from Berkeley.

Both feeling like they've locked down their base territories in the Bay Area, the North Bay for Antonio and the East/Southern Bay for Koenkai, both rush to Southern California to sell themselves. Antonio quickly builds financial support in Hollywood, a largely unsuccessful gambit due to his opposition to the strict anti-piracy demanded by Hollywood. Koenkai does not return their calls either. Koenkai attempts to appeal to largely impoverished, largely Hispanic farming communities by lambasting certain environmental policies, gaining him support in some crowds but losing it in others. At the same time, Koenkai aligns with several ethnic minority groups lambasting gentrification, a bridge too far for Antonio and indeed many voters. Both candidates attempt to pander to Hispanic voters so hard that both go on record that they will essentially stop enforcing any immigration laws.

Largely due to personal ties in the Silicon Valley, Koenkai receives huge wads of cash from the Silicon Valley. However, Antonio makes inroads by snagging financial support from several internet companies (Google, Facebook, etc), despite being crushed in the Silicon Valley money race.

Both candidates promise far more education funding than they could possibly deliver as Governor, but due to Koenkai having supported California's parent trigger bill, the teacher's unions deliver a needed endorsement, as well as hordes of cash, to Antonio. Both candidates propose universal health care plans, but Antonio's goes far further, Koenkai proposing to only sponsor catastrophic health insurance. Both these spark a waves of endorsements for both politicians that pidgeon-holes Koenkai as the "de-facto Republican", despite California being a one-party state.

On election day, Antonio finds himself doing much worse than expected in San Francisco proper due to Koenkai winning most of the ethnic vote. However, Antonio completely annihilates Koenkai in counties north of the bay, running up huge margins. Koenkai performs strongly in the South Bay and East Bay, but still loses them due to being pinned the "de-facto Republican".

Koenkai runs margins in the Californian agricultural heartland even higher than Republicans used to, largely due to taking both Republican and a large chunk of Hispanic voters, but still loses to Antonio in vote-heavy Los Angeles due to teacher's unions GOTV.

Koenkai, largely due to being more conservative on religiously-charged issues and just as willing to pander, wins Hispanic voters 51-49% and sweeps Asian voters 63-37% due to ID politics.

Republican turnout is below-average, largely due to law-and-order types disgusted with the noted "softness on crime" of both Democrats. However, largely due to being attacked by the teacher's unions, Koenkai wins Republicans 69-31%. Koenkai also manages to win Democrats, by the narrowest of margins (50.4%-49.6%). However, some of Koenkai's culturally moderate views, ethnic play, and criticism of environmental policies come back to bite him, as he gets wiped out among white moderate independents. Antonio triumphs among non-hispanic white voters 45-55%. Antoniotriumphs among independent voters by a margin of 57-43.

Antonio : 51.2%
Koenkai: 48.8%

It is quite noticeably, the closest the more moderate candidate in a Californian gubernatorial election has come towards winning. But not enough.

Koenkai (R)- 51.9%
Miles (D)- 47.4%

In the race to replace the retiring Rick Perry in 2014, Koenkai becomes the candidate of the Republican establishment. Despite a tough tea party challenge in the primary, he wins the Republican nomination by a surprisingly wide margin. Miles, on the other hand, ran far to the right of many prominent state Democrats; however, due to a field fractured with more liberal Democrats, he barely clings to the nomination.

In the general, Miles aggressively courts the vote of the social conservatives and those in rural, ancestrally Democratic areas. Koenkai base consists of more educated, suburban voters who; a group that has long been on the ascendancy in Texas politics. Koenkai is successful in both appealing to Independent voters while still keeping Republicans enthusiastic about his candidacy.

On election day, Miles runs far ahead of the President in the rural regions along the LA/AR/OK border, but performs very poorly in the cities, as he has taken the Democratic vote for granted there. Miles still wins some Democratic strongholds, such as Travis a Dallas counties, but Koenkai's margins there are impressive for a Republican. Koenkai also makes noticeable inroads with Hispanic voters, another faction of the electorate that Miles took for granted.

Democratic Presidential Primary, 1972

In the race to select a candidate to defeat Richard Nixon, Senator Koenkai of New Hampshire and Congressman Joyce of Florida are both candidates.

Joyce runs on a strident anti-war program while Koenkai largely runs on an electability platform, trying to avoid talking about voting in favor of the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, and largely playing up voting in favor of Civil Rights legislation.

Congressman Joyce stuns the country with a surprise, albeit narrow plurality (29%, the nearest candidate having 24%) victory. The field immediately narrows and knowing that Joyce has a lock on the Florida primary, much of the Democratic establishment rallies behind the Senator from New Hampshire, who still goes to win a smaller-than-expected 51%-45% victory in New Hampshire, reminiscent of Johnson in '68.

Much of the establishment is conflicted and several Southern Democrats flee to Governor Noname of Kentucky, a labor-friendly moderate on civil rights issues, in order to try to stop Joyce in Florida. Noname enjoys a surge in polls, but Joyce pulls out a narrow victory in Florida, 49%-44%.

The election immediately moves to Illinois, where Joyce seems to be pulling off a victory as Koenkai and Noname divide up the votes. However, suspicious "late returns" from Cook County quickly put Koenkai over Joyce and Noname, 39%-37%-23%.

Somewhat demoralized, the Joyce campaign moves their battle to Wisconsin, where this time, they managed to win a reasonable 42%-31%-29%.

Koenkai waltzes into Massachusetts confident of a landslide, but a last minute Kennedy endorsement for Joyce torpedoes the Koenkai campaign, and although Koenkai wins Boston proper, Joyce wins most of the state, taking it 54%-44%.

The battle goes toward Pennslyvania where once again, Joyce pulls ahead of a divided field until returns from Philadelphia proper send Koenkai's vote total soaring. 35%-33%-32%.

The Washington D.C. race is brutal as a nasty negative attack fanning unsubstantiated rumors of racism in the Joyce campaign, while reminding voters of Koenkai's civil rights record, blares on DC airwaves. Koenkai turns a 20% deficit in the polls into a 59%-34% victory.

In Indiana, the same ads backfire as Noname accuses Koenkai of ties to "black radical" organizations. This is not helped when the Black Panthers actually endorse Koenkai, a relatively unwanted endorsement. Koenkai sinks in the polls, but Noname actually pulls out a victory against Joyce as many of Koenkai's supporters flee. 41%-35%-24%.

In a tremendous act of incompetence, the Noname campaign actually fails to get his name on the ballot in Ohio. Many of his supporters flee to both candidates, although Koenkai does somewhat better, very narrowly taking the state 46%-45%.

Noname sweeps Tennessee and North Carolina.

Although Koenkai leads in Nebraska due to strong support from rural residents, surburban Omaha turns out in force for Joyce and he takes the state, 49%-43%. Noname sweeps West Virginia.

Maryland is an extremely tough battle, as Noname sweeps Southern Democrats, Koenkai domnates in Maryland, and Joyce dominates everywhere else. Koenkai eventually takes the state, 36-34-29.

On the same day is Michigan, another dead-heat between all three. Joyce narrowly defeats Noname, 39-38-23. The two narrow defeats are exceptionally demoralizing to the Noname campaign and it never really recovers.

Joyce subsequently sweeps Oregon and Rhode Island.

After a very close fight, the bottom falls off of Koenkai's campaign as the Black Panther endorsement comes home to roost. Though Koenkai does win Oakland. Joyce triumps, 55%-42%. This is especially devastating as California's delegates, all 271, are winner-take-all. Joyce also sweeps New Mexico and South Dakota. However, Koenkai pulls off a narrow 51%-48% victory in New Jersey.

The convention is unsurprisingly hung.After an extremely angry and debated floor fight based on how to seat delegates from when and where, Joyce takes 47% of the delegates, to Koenkai's 33% and Noname's 20% Noname subsequently throws his support to Koenkai, but the Indiana delegation as well as Florida delegates pledged to Noname switch their votes to Joyce, allowing him to triumph with 54.3% of the delegates.

Nixon is re-elected.

In 2014, Senator Kay Hagan unexpectedly retires; à la Jim Webb, she cites the frustration of the Senate's gridlock.

Lieutenant Governor Miles runs in the Democratic primary against nclib, who represents the 4th Congressional district. Miles has strong support from Conservative Dems in the southeast eastern region; he also hails from the Charlotte region, which likewise helps in the western region. nclib overperforms in the Triangle, using Orange, Durham and Wake counties as bases, and out in the Triad. On primary day, Miles barely avoids a runoff, beating nclib 46% to 42%.

Congressman Supersonic represents the 5th Congressional district, as he upset Congresswoman Virginia Foxx in the 2012 primary. Despite his outsider status in 2012, when he announced his plans to run for Senate in 2014, the state Republicans largely backed his effort. As such, he won his primary in a landslide.

President Obama's approval rating in NC stands at 43/51. As such, Miles tries to keep his association with the President at arm's length. Still, this gives Supersonic ammunition to attack Miles as an 'Obama liberal.' Likewise, in breaking with the President, Miles further antagonizes progressive Democrats.

In the general, there is still dissatisfaction with Miles in the Triad with liberal Democrats, he noticeably underperforms there as some of nclib's most loyal supporters either stay home or vote third party. Supersonic is very popular in his district and cracks 70% in some counties there. Overall, while the race is one of the closest in the country, Supersonic claims a narrow victory.

2014: Governor Rick Scott, in the face of 20% approvals, announces he isn't running for re-election.

Representative Miles (FL-02) faces Representative SJoyce (FL-13) in the Democratic primary. Miles wins easily throughout much of the Panhandle and Northern Florida, forming enough of a coalition between ConservaDems and African-American voters to win the nomination. Teacher and Tampa Bay-backed SJoyce initially plans to withdraw gracefully, till it is revealed that (due to the aforementioned low approvals of Scott) is going to cross-endorse Miles. Disgusted, SJoyce declares his independent candidacy, backed by liberal as well as libertarian groups. SJoyce manages to appeal to the more fiscally conservative voters of Southwest Florida, as well as urban liberals and college students, while Miles appeals to traditional Democrats and North Florida voters. In the end Miles' margins among North Floridians as well as soccon/fiscally liberal voters lets him carry the day.

We battle it out in a Clinton-Obama style primary war. My coalition of disaffected Republicans, libertarians, moderates, minorities and Clinton/Reagan Democrats can't drown SJoyceFla's support among young liberals, Ron Paul libertarians, wealthy voters, independents, and college students. My strong support among minority rich Southern/South-Western and the Rust Belt states is offset by SJoyceFla's strong support in the Pacific West, Northeast, and Great Plains. SJF's delegate lead becomes insurmountable and I eventually drop out and endorse him and join his ticket.

Democrats have their acts together. Republicans do not, and somehow I get nominated. Things go as expected, with the emergence of a socon 3rd party candidate to attract votes from various Southern states. A Person manages to take back for the Democrats West Virginia with a rather populisty economic message, while the West Coast goes slightly for the Republicans due to a socially liberal message coming from the Republican candidate.

Senator A Person (D-IL): 245 EVs, 43% PV
Rep. SJoyce (R-MT): 235 EVs, 38% PV
Gov. Mike Huckabee (I-AR): 58 EVs, 19% PV

In the Nevada Senatorial election to replace retiring Senator Harry Reid (so keep in mind those demographic shifts), the Republican Party fails to nominate a candidate (due to its takeover) and instead cross-endorses independent candidate SJoyceNev, who has great appeal to libertarian rural Nevada but flops greatly in major cities like the Las Vegas area, which by itself outvotes the rest of the state.

Who's your opponent?
Republican presidential primary between me and SJoyce:

Trying to restore the Republican party to its former greatness, Congressman Oldiesfreak1854 (R-MI) runs for the Republican nomination for President.  Senator SJoyce (R-FL) runs as a libertarian-leaning candidate against me and attracts support from college students and similarly-minded voters.  My attempt to rebuild the GOP outside the base goes bust as I am attacked as a RINO by the Tea Party movement and many high-profile Republican Party leaders.  Nonetheless, the South and Plains states, put off by SJoyce's social liberalism, vote for me, while SJoyce wins everywhere else save my home state of Michigan, which goes Oldiesfreak as a favorite-son effect, and Utah, where Mormons are also put off by SJoyce's social liberalism.

Senator wolfentoad66 of California is expected to easily win the Democratic nomination for president with support from both the moderate (because of economic policy) and liberal (because of social and foreign policy) wings of the party. However, the campaign is upended when left-wing Representative drj101 of Virginia wins Iowa by a hair, a shocking upset given that polls should wolfentoad66 winning by large margins, although closing in the last few days. Analysis shows that because the race was expected to not be competitive, many of wolfentoad66's supporters stayed home, and combined with the naturally low turnout of caucuses this allowed drj101 (whose supporters were more motivated to vote) to win. Wolfentoad66 easily wins the New Hampshire primary, but drj101 wins the South Carolina primary with the support of African-Americans who outnumber Wolfentoad66's white Blue Dog dems. Nevada goes narrowly for drj101 because of union backing and low turnout. Democratic leaders start to take the threat of an candidate they fear is unelectable seriously and go on an all-out offensive for Wolfentoad66. This halts some of drj101's momentum and Wolfentoad66 wins the winner-take-all state of Florida, taking home a huge delegate haul.

On Super Tuesday, Wolfentoad66 takes a large lead in delegates and effectively kills any chance drj101 had of winning the nomination. Drj101 wins Massachusetts and New Mexico and the caucus states of Alaska, Colorado, and Minnesota but loses all other states including some (California, New York, New Jersey) where drj101 was leading in the polls just a week before. Following Super Tuesday, there are calls for drj101 to drop out of the race from many in the party. Drj101 refuses to do so, but by now Wolfentoad66 has a large lead in national polls and considered the presumptive nominee by the media. The drj101 campaign, however, believes it will win the Potomac primary states (DC, MD, VA) in one week, due to a home state effect.

The next three states are wins for Wolfentoad66, even though Lousiana and the Washington caucuses were seen as likely wins for drj101 before Super Tuesday. Maine goes the same way. The Potomac primary in Feb 12 is seen as drj101's last stand. On the 12th, DC goes overwhelmingly for drj101 (as expected) and drj101 wins Maryland too, but by a narrow margin. Drj101's home state of Virginia, however, votes for Wolfentoad66. After this poor performance, drj101 drops out of the race and endorses Wolfentoad66, who goes on to win the general election. Wolfentoad66 appoints drj101 as HHS Secretary as a bone to the liberal wing of the party.

Oldiesfreak1854 (R-MI)- 329
drj101 (D-VA)- 209

Moderate conservative Congressman Oldiesfreak1854 (R-MI), trying to expand the Republican base, wins the GOP nomination after the more conservative vote is split in the nomination campaign.  Democrats nominate liberal Congressman drj101 of Virginia.  What would have been a solid Democrat victory suddenly becomes a close race.  Drj101 attacks me (Oldiesfreak1854) on social issues, but I deflect much of the criticism by running a campaign based on economic issues and downplaying social issues, making large inroads with suburban voters.  I also counteratttack by successfully portraying drj101 as a left-wing extremist on both economic and social issues.  By the time drj realizes his attacks aren't working and attempt to change strategy, it's too late.  I win the Electoral College by the modest margin of 329-209, carrying a significant number of swing states and running up Republican numbers in many Democratic-leaning states.  Nonetheless, drj still manages to carry Virginia as a home-state effect and due to his higher name recognition there.

I'd love to do a GOP MI Governor primary map, but I don't know enough about counties and such to do that. So instead I'll do a GOP presidential primary. Better yet, since you like Rockefeller and I like Goldwater, let's do 1964.


The year is 1964. With Nelson Rockefeller backing out of the race for president due to his recent divorce and rumors of extra-martial affairs, liberal Republican Governor Oldies Freak of Michigan is instead put forward in his place. Meanwhile, Barry Goldwater, after continually declining to run for President, instead endorses Illinois Congressman Cath Con. Governor Freak inherents Rocky's money and endorsements while Congressman Con gets Goldwater's organization and volunteers. With two different types of Mid-Western Republicans doing battle for the nomination, who will win?

March 10th: In the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary, the bitter conservative Cathcon manages to pull off a narrow victory, thanks mainly to the endorsement of the New Hampshire Union Leader as well as a number of state politicians and Styles Bridges' widow.

April 7th: With Oldiesfreak scrambling to make sure he can get in a victory before the Illinois primary in which Cathcon is heavily favored, money is poured into the Wisconsin primary and pays off, despite the closeness of the race.

April 14th: In the Illinois primary, Congressman Cathcon is able to win a >70% victory due to his status as one of its representatives as well as the endorsement of Everett Dirksen. Governor Oldiesfreak instead opted to allocate resources towards North-Eastern primaries.

April 21st: In the New Jersey primary, Oldiesfreak wins big thanks to Cathcon still reveling in his Illinois victory and its status as a moderate North-Eastern state.

April 28th:
In both Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, Oldiesfreak wins. The endorsements of men like John Volpe, Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., and William Warren Scranton have done the trick.

May 1st:
In Washington D.C., Oldisefreak wins with over eighty percent of the vote.

May 5th:
In what seems a fitting response to Freak's double win on the 28th, Cathcon takes both Ohio and Indiana, two Mid-Western states that suit his style of campaign.

May 12th:
While Cathcon takes Nebraska, Oldiesfreak is the only one on the ballot in West Virginia.

May 15th:
Oregon, a state where moderate and liberal Republicans are common, easily votes for Oldiesfreak who is endored by the state's dovish Governor Mark Hatfield.

May 19th:
On the whole a Democratic state, the few Republicans who are there are pro-Civil Rights moderates and liberals and Oldiesfreak scores another easy victory. However, the contentious California primary approaches.

May 26th:
Singing to the tune of states' rights, Congressman Cathcon wins his first victory since Nebraska in the conservative state of Florida.

June 2nd:
In the hotly contested California primary, volunteers and employees for both organizations heavily blanket the state with advertisements. A number of Cathcon's supporters in Orange County open up independent campaign organizations, making commercials used to appeal to fears of African-Americans, especially following Johnson's signing of the Civil Rights Act of [whatever year, 1964 I think]. Meanwhile, Senator Thomas Kuchel endorses Oldiesfreak who has the obvious money advantage and dominates advertising. In the closest race of the primary season, Oldiesfreak narrowly wins. Turnout reached incredibly high levels. The only good news for Cathcon is his win in South Dakota.
(
)
Green-Governor Oldiesfreak1854 of Michigan
Blue-Senator Cathcon of Illinois

At the RNC, Oldiesfreak1854 is able to secure a plurality of delegates on the first ballot and a majority on the second following Cathcon's dropping out of the race. Governor Freak chooses William Scranton for Vice President.

(Also, and I forgot to mention this, fears of religion were used in both campaigns. However the candidates themselves chose not to pursue that line, knowing they could be attacked in kind)

Oh, this'll be interesting...

So I, being myself, gain the Democratic nomination through some kind of convention trickery and witchcraft and sorcery, all that good stuff. I have the pleasure of facing off with Gov. Oldiesfreak (R-MI), who is angling to be the first Seventh Day Adventist President (I am aiming to be the twelfth or thirteenth Episcopalian President, depending on whether you count GWB). From the start, it's an interesting race, with states like Alaska and Montana swinging rather strongly towards my libertarian philosophy, while some states in the Rust Belt and Northeast going to Oldiesfreak, with he being a relatively moderate Rust Belt Republican (with even states like Massachusetts swinging, Oldiesfreak running a Romneyesque campaign). Last-minute gaffes by Oldiesfreak (yadda yadda yadda Civil War stuff) hand me states like Georgia and Texas (also rather libertarian states) and make the rest of the region close. I win almost all of the West, exempting the heavily conservative Idaho and Utah, while Oldiesfreak triumphs Midwest-wise and takes advantage of extremely depressed Democratic turnout coupled with his Vermont-ness to take much of the Northeast back into the hands of the Republicans. Final score is a tie:

Let me guess: since I'm an Adventist and you're a Catholic, the Adventist clergy tried to scare their congregations by telling them that you would establish a national Sunday law, and Catholic priests played on fears of persecution from an Adventist president.

Dirksen supported Goldwater in real life. This may be due to the strength of Goldwater's political volunteers in the state. He did it in order to maintain official control of the IL delegation. In other states, liberal Republican Governors found themselves deposed due to not submitting to the Goldwaterites. Choices were either head a Goldwater delegation, or have a Goldwater delegation happen anyway with you not in charge. Or, his support of Goldwater could've also been ideological. I do know Goldwater's strength did help in swaying Ev's decision however.

In one of the closest Republican nomination battles in history, Governor Oldiesfreak1854 (R-MI) defeats Congressman Goldwater (R-WA) in what is portrayed as a battle between the mainstream conservative establishment within the Republican Party and it emering libertarian-leaning wing.  Goldwater wins overwhelmingly in conservative-leaning states in the South and West, while Oldiesfreak, with his modertae demeanor, carries the Northeast, Upper Midwest, the Western swing states, and the West Coast, except for Goldwater's home state of Washington, which turns out to be closer than expected.  However, Goldwater's margins in the eastern part of the state, including around Spokane, makes up for a libertarian-fiscal conservative split in King County and the other areas surrounding Seattle.  In the Upper Midwest, Indiana turns out to be the closest state.  Goldwater carries the southern part of the state, while Oldiesfreak carries the areas surrounding Indianapolis, the manufacturing areas along Lake Michigan, and the Michiana area (where voters in and around South Bend had become familiar with his record as Governor of Michigan) to carry the state.

[I'm going to skip over the part where SJoyceFla wins the GOP nomination as I don't know how to do that realistically].

Libertarian SJoyceFla wins the cross-endorsement of the GOP, and faces drj101 in the general. Many prominent social conservatives decide to back third-party candidate Alan Keyes of the Constitution party. Drj101 would be the underdog in a normal election, but with the split of the conservative vote the Democrats see a chance to win. Drj101 runs a campaign almost exclusively focused on attacking SJoyceFla, while SJoyceFla attacks drj101 (for being too liberal) and Alan Keyes (for...well, being Alan Keyes) while also playing up his conservative economic credentials and warning right-wing voters of a split in the vote that would allow drj101 to become president.

SJoyceFla wins a strong plurality in the election and majority in the electoral college. The results in the south are very interesting, with the white vote split between Keyes and SJoyceFla, drj101 manages to win a number of deeply conservative southern states with a percentage in the 30s because of the African-American vote.

Republican Primary
Republitarian, the freshman Senator from Washington, gains steam early on due to the endorsement of several grassroots libertarian conservatives including the Pauls. With victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, he looks to be the front-runner. However, former Governor Cathcon of Michigan manages to gain the support of the South and the Rust-belt, making the primaries a dead-heat for the majority. However, Cathcon emerges with a narrow delegate lead following the final primaries. However, at the convention, with the combined strength of the New York, California, and Texas delegations, as well as Republitarian's supporters taking control of the delegates of a number of states at state conventions, Republitarian eeks out a victory, choosing Congressman Jake Matthews of Pennsylvania for Vice President.

The Democratic Party doesn't run a candidate, to fill the void Supersonic runs as a member of the 'Moderate Party'. He's defeated clearly as left wing Democrats simply refuse to vote for a centre-right leaning candidate. Goldwater wins the almost full support of the Republican Party.

In a historical event, the Republican Party nominates its first African-American candidate Oldiesfreak, emphasizing the party's need to return to its historical roots as the party of Lincoln. Oldiesfreak enters the campaign with a comfortable lead over the Democratic nominee, Antonio V, who is perceived as a radical librul soshulist commie. However, a series of disparaging remarks by Oldiesfreak outrages the South, prompting the candidacy of a "Southern Pride" ticket. Oldies' support in the South completely collapses, and despite retaining a slight lead in many northern Dem States, he ends up third on Election Day.

What we get is a three-way election between the Dems, Republicans, and Greens. Spenstar and Carter split the progressive vote, but while most of the vote goes to the Green Party due to a powerful ground game and campaign, Carter gets enough votes to bring the race to the house, which, obviously, chooses JerryArkensas. The Senate, operating on a Dem/Green coalition, is a bit more frantic over who to pick for VP. Spenstar and Carter agree to get the Senate to select Napoleon for VP over IdahoBlueDog.

Governor TNF (D-Ky.) and Gov. Goldwater (R-Wash.) face off against one another in an election almost entirely defined by domestic issues, due to their similar foreign policy standpoints. This leads to the third party candidacy of Florida Democrat SJoyce, who runs as an independent in opposition to both candidates on drone policy and strides the center in economic policy.

In the end, Congressman SJoyce does well enough to force a tie in the electoral college and send the race to Congress. The Republican held House elects Goldwater President and selects TNF's running-mate, Hockeydude, as Vice President.

For much of the summer, TNF leads by a small margin, until my controversial comments about the South and TNF's status as a Southern moderate cost me several Southern states.  Only the most Republican-leaning states in the South go for me, but they become some of the closest states in the election.  The perception of TNF as a moderate gives him every state in the Northeast and Upper Midwest except Indiana (which I carry with a small majority), and nearly flips Arizona and Montana.

Gov. Oldies (R-Mich.) manages to convince the North and West that his opponent, Gov. TNF (D-Ky.) is a dastardly Southron socialist and also supporter of slavery, or something. Things get worse for the TNF campaign when Oldies conjures the ghost of Jefferson Davis to endorse him for the White House, though this, combine with Oldies' anti-Southern statements, delivers TNF the South by a resounding margin.

In the end, Governor Oldies wins in a 271-267 squeaker.

After a bumpy first term, President Oldies' (R-MI) embattled reelection campaign seemed doomed to fail as Independent Philadelphia Mayor FezzyFestoon surged on a platform of reform to take his place in a rematch against Former Governor TNF (D-KY), setting up a rehash of the familiar North-South narrative of the race four years prior. Angry conservatives are stuck without a candidate and make for a complicated election as a Democrat and an Independent fight to pick up the biggest pieces. TNF surges up into the Midwest as Fezzy makes huge inroads into the urban vote. Fezzy steals the big prizes of California and Florida, but can't make it over the top in Virginia, giving TNF the slim victory.

In an alternate universe, where the Democratic Party doesn't exist and the Libertarian Party is main opposition to the Republican Party, Governor Goldwater of Washington and Governor Supersonic of North Carolina race against each other for the Presidency. Because of the two candidates similar postilions on economics and foreign policy, the campaigns were mostly focused on social issues, especially marijuana laws and gun control.

I almost flipped MS for me, but ironically, that was Barry Goldwater' best state XD

The Democratic Party has fallen apart, so the Republicans run two candidates for the presidency. Jerryarkansas and HagridOfTheDeep, a Canadian ex-pat from Montana, face off in a heated contest. These candidates present an interesting dichotomy: Jerry is a moderate who hails from the relatively conservative South, whereas Hagrid has Northern appeal but is a traditional conservative. Ultimately, the campaign makes for an interesting election map.

In the closest election in recorded history, populist Kentucky Governor TNF faces off against libertarian Governor Goldwater of Washington. In a 270-268 squeaker, Goldwater manages a victory, with the race coming down to the crucial second Congressional district of Maine, which for the first time votes for a Republican nominee for President.

Gov. TNF (D-KY) / Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-WI): 48% (268)
Gov. Goldwater (R-WA) / Gov. Rick Perry (D-TX): 48% (270)

The Democratic Primary between Kentucky Governor TNF and Georgia Governor Clinton1996 is a nail-bitter from the beginning til the end. Liberals and college students come out in support of TNF because of his populist stances and helps him win Iowa, along with much of the Northeast, Great Plains and Midwest. Clinton's support comes from moderates and minorities, helping him win New Hanpshire and the Pacific West and South. In the end, the DNC looked to be deadlocked, but for the good of the party Clinton1996 endorsed TNF for the nomination.

I apologize... I'd been working on this one between myself and Snowstalker for a while, but it looks like SJoyce got there first. Y'all can skip me if you want. :P


By October, it looked as if Senator HagridOfTheDeep (R-SC) was going to run away with the election against his colleague in the senate, Senator Snowstalker (D-PA). Throughout the campaign, Snowstalker was accused of holding views too far out of the mainstream for most Americans. Although polling in October had Senator Snowstalker doing quite well in states with a high Hispanic population, he was losing in key places like Minnesota, Wisoncsin, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Maine. Hagrid's brand of conservative was thought to have much appeal with moderate whites in the Rust Belt and the Northeast. Two weeks before the election, most pundits were betting that the map would look something like this:


(
)


Unfortunately for Senator Hagrid, three days before the election, a credible source leaked to the press that Hagrid had been having an affair with a prostitute for the last year. The story panned out. Hagrid's poll numbers immediately dropped. In a testament to the polarized nature of the country, however, Hagrid was not actually out of contention. Snowstalker's positions were difficult for many on the right to stomach, and Hagrid believed that he could still win if he could get his base to turn out on election day. He was wrong.

Sen. HagridoftheDeep (R-SC)
Gov. Oldiesfreak (R-MI)

One of the most exciting races for the Republican nomination starts out as a close two-way race between Governor Oldiesfreak of Michigan and Senator Hagrid of South Carolina.  After Oldiesfreak wins both Iowa and New Hampshire, it seems apparent that he has won the nomination, but Hagrid vows to take the race to Southern contests where he is strongest.  Shortly before the South Carolina primary, various credible sources leak to the press and the media some past comments by Oldiesfreak that were demeaning to the South.  Hagrid, who was leading comfortably in South Carolina prior to the reports, suddenly skyrockets in state polls and wins the state by a landslide.  Oldiesfreak's problems compound when various Catholic priests and bishops begin questioning whether his status as an Adventist would lead him to enact anti-Catholic policies.  Italian and Irish Catholic enclaves in the Northeast and Chicago quickly desert him.  Oldiesfreak still wins those contests due to his strength with moderates, but his margins are greatly reduced from his showing in the polls prior to the controversy.  Despite wins in New York and California, Oldiesfreak becomes too battered and damaged to recover, and Hagrid easily wins the nomination.

The Democratic primary between Senator TNF (D-KY) and Governor PJ (D-NM) is a roller-coaster as both candidates largely share agreement on fiscal issues, moving the election beyond the realm of the fiscal and into that of social issues. TNF takes a more liberal stand than does PJ except on gun control, which also comes to define the race. Governor PJ ultimately prevails with a coalition of upper middle class, socially liberal whites opposed to TNF's position on gun control and more socially conservative minority groups. Governor TNF's losing coalition of working class whites, union members, and rural Democrats ultimately manage to prevent the party from adopting a strict gun control stance in the official party platform however.

A close matchup between a libertarian Republican, Gov. Goldwater of Washington and a social Democrat, Sen. TNF of Kentucky. As the race got underway, Gov. Goldwater selected as his running-mate Gov. Supersonic of Tennessee, hoping to solidify his position among Southern conservatives and Southerners in general whilst facing off against a Southern Democrat. Sen.TNF chose as his running-mate Sen. PoliticsJunkie of New Mexico, doubling down on his economic-issue driven campaign while minimizing culture war rhetoric. In the end, both candidates won their home states by the smallest of margins, and Sen. TNF's 'Rust Belt Strategy' proved unable to gain enough traction to push him over the line, though it did help him hold both Ohio and Michigan against a strong challenger, and gain Indiana's electoral votes. Ultimately the race came down to the state of West Virginia, which went to Governor Goldwater by just 200 votes, cementing the race as the closest in recent memory. Sen. TNF conceded to Governor Goldwater shortly after a recount certifying the results of the election, working with the incoming administration on social issues and some defense-related legislation.

Congressman Oldiesfreak (R-Mich.), a representative of Detroit suburbia and the sole Republican member of the Congressional Black Caucus, defeats Senator TNF (D-Ky.) in a 270-268 electoral college squeaker. The race, which realigned the electoral map, was one of the most pivotal in American electoral history, with a left-wing Southern Democrat facing off against a moderate (if partisan) Northern Republican. Both campaigns engaged in strong partisan rhetoric, something readily reflected in the results, albeit backwards from what one might expect. This is in part because of Rep. Oldiesfreak being caught on tape at a closed door fundraiser decrying Southerners as "white trash" and "treasonous", a remark that led scores of Southern Republicans to denounce his candidacy and instead support Senator TNF. Senator TNF's running-mate, Senator Snowstalker (D-Penn.) made a likewise notorious gaffe late in the campaign when he was caught on the campaign trail saying that "President Pingvin's Russia isn't all that bad," and that "we should emulate some of his programs here," leading to swift denunciations from pretty much everyone for his praise of the Russian dictator.

The debates proved a decisive victory for sanity, as the American public agreed with Senator TNF's desire to not 're-fight the Civil War', with the Senator accusing the Congressman of 'playing into ancient American hatreds.' Congressman Oldiesfreak denounced the Senator as a 'Southern Socialist', something that TNF did not deny, further damaging his campaign. The Vice Presidential debate between Senator Snowstalker and Rep. Oldiesfreak's running-mate proved to be a massive route for Senator Snowstalker, who was caught trying to defend his words about Pingvinist Russia.

While Cathcon, running on a socially conservative and populist platform, was able to take the Iowa Caucuses, in New Hampshire, Goldwater, running as a fiscal conservative and "maverick" (assisted by the endorsement of New Hampshire's biggest fan, John McCain) was able to strike a blow. Going into South Carolina, Goldwater had a momentum advantage and with no Southerners in the race, was narrowly able to take the Palmetto State (assisted by heavy support from veterans, socially liberal voters on the coast, and some local Republican establishment). In Florida, he scored another Southern victory. Meanwhile, Goldwater would rack up Western victories, assisted by his homestate and the fact that he used to have a Nevada avatar. Though a string of Southern and Mid-Western primaries would even up the race for Cathcon, he was running out of money and with victories in a number of key "big states" and momentum on his side, Goldwater claimed victory, becoming the first pro-choice Republican nominee since Gerald R. Ford in 1976.

Goldwater suffers from low social conservative support, leading to depressed turnout in the South. His strength is the mountain west, leaving Colorado the closest state, but I hold the Democratic coalition together and have stronger support from working class whites. There is probably a strongish 3rd party focusing on social conservatism and further weakens Goldwater. He also benefits in some parts by sheer virtue of there being an (R) next to his name, which enables him to hold the upper South, but by lower margins than the current norm.

Republians nominated popular Libertarian Governor Maxwell over strong conservatives like Senator Supersonic (R-TN) and moderates like Congressman JerryArkansas (R-AR). Jerry became so disenchanted with the nomination, that he ran a campaign to become the Democrats VP nominee. The eventual winner of the nomination was General Mung Beans, a centrist military general, who beat out narrowly staunch liberal Senator TNF, decided to make that pick. Mung Beans led by margins of 10-15 points until the drug war became a serious issue after a massive riot in the streets of San Franisco, California. Mung Beans held to his idea that drugs should be illegal, while Maxwell fought against it, and made massive gains in Liberal states. Maxwell even led in some polls on the last day, but the General ended up pulling narrow victories in Democratic strongholds like Minnesota and Illinois.

1972
Republican President Cathcon (R-MI) is running for re-election. Over the last four years, Cathcon has attempted to battle expansion of the Great Society, has levied tariffs on America's trading rivals, and has attempted to build alliances between the GOP and unions, including an iconic meeting between the President and labor leader Peter J. Brennan. On foreign policy, the Vietnam War has been escalated and there have been tentative talks with the Soviets, though little has come of them. In being re-nominated by the Republicans, he has faced only token opposition and thus has a distinct advantage over the divided Democratic party.

Meanwhile, the Democrats are undergoing severe internal disputes. While labor is backing Hubert H. Humphrey and the South is behind George Wallace, the anti-war left has rallied behind "prairie progressive" Senator Maxwell of Oklahoma. While he has a moderate record on the economic front, it is his social and foreign policy liberalism that is emphasized--in fact, it would only be when history was re-examined that such things would come to light and libertarians would really exalt the Senator. Thanks to an enthusiastic ground game in several Northern and Western states as well as fired-up volunteers (largely comprised of the nation's youth who now have the right to vote), Maxwell was able to win a first ballot victory at the DNC.

In the general election, Maxwell would utilize these new voters, anti-war angst, and the defection of liberal Republicans to build a winning coalition. However, President Cathcon would himself make significant inroads with blue collar voters, Southerners, and "Cold War liberals" and 1972 would be judged in retrospect as a historically significant election. The economic problems in Cathcon's first term--incurred, in part, by his refusal to enact liberal Federal Reserve policies--would as well aid in Maxwell's victory.

EDIT: I'm sorry, it's an aesthetically displeasing map in the South-West and with all the light shades in the North-East, but as far as I knew, someone else was trying to post after Maxwell as well, so I didn't have too many options.

1968.

As President Lyndon Johnson decides against seeking a second term, the Democratic nomination ultimately falls to Senator TNF of Kentucky, a man described by media outlets as a kind of 'Red George Wallace' or 'Latter-day Huey Long' owing to his strident social democratic politicking and Southern mannerisms, who wins the nomination as Vice President Humphrey and Governor Wallace bow out in his favor, Senator Kennedy (his closest rival) bites the bullet (literally) and Eugene McCarthy ends up as his running-mate. Running on a platform of peace in Vientam (helped out by LBJ halting the bombing), universal health care, and social reform, the Senator from Kentucky quickly makes inroads where the incumbent had lost ground, regaining the dominant position of the Democrats among blue collar workers, liberal intellectuals, and civil rights activists.

On the Republican side, Governor Cathcon of Michigan seals up the nomination by selecting South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond as his running mate, balancing the Northern conservative and Southern conservative wings of his party and catching voters who had fallen out from the Democrats as a result. Running on a platform of halting the growth of government, 'victory in Vietnam' and traditional conservatism at home, the Republican nominee proved a formidable foe for the Senator from Kentucky.

Ohio proved to be the closest state and the determinant of the occupant of the White House come January 20, 1969. Governor Cathcon won the White House, defeating Senator TNF 270-268.

Senator TNF (D-KY) / Senator Eugene McCarthy (D-MN) 268 electoral votes, 48% of the popular vote

Gov. Oldiesfreak1854 (R-MI)/Gov. John A. Volpe (R-MA): 144 (44% PV)

After President Johnson decides to forgo reelection, Senator TNF of Kentucky wins the Democratic nomination by uniting the Democratic base (populists, New Deal liberals, unions, and Catholics).  Initially planning a campaign of his own, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, realizing the uphill battle he would face against TNF, endorses him instead.  Likewise, Senator Bobby Kennedy, thought to be TNF's strongest opponent for the nomination, is assassinated in June, which all but secures the nomination for TNF.  Though the Senator is a supporter of civil rights legislation, he stays relatively silent on the subject during the campaign in order to maintain his strong populist and Southern support.  This earns him the support of many segregationists in his party, such as Governors George Wallace and Lester Maddox and Senator Robert Byrd, as well as Republican Senator Strom Thurmond.  He also has the strong backing of labor, receiving support from union leaders such as Jimmy Hoffa.  At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, TNF chooses Minnesota Senator Eugene McCarthy as his running mate, citing his strong opposition to the Vietnam War.

In the Republican nomination contest, moderate Governor Oldiesfreak1854 of Michigan secures the Republican nomination with token opposition.  His only serious challenger is Governor Ronald Reagan of California, who inserts his name at the convention, but by then, the nomination has already been decided.  Governor Oldiesfreak is a strong supporter of civil rights legislation and fiscal conservatism, and as such, draws significant support from wealthier voters.  However, he is also a strong anti-Communist and opposes the militant tactics of black liberation and anti-war protesters.  Similar to Humphrey on the Democratic side, Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York endorses Oldiesfreak after recognizing his strong support from the liberal and moderate wings of the party.  The Governor also receives early backing from former Vice President Richard Nixon.  At the Republican National Convention, Oldiesfreak chooses Governor John A. Volpe of Massachusetts.

In the general election campaign, Oldiesfreak attacks TNF as weak on civil rights and attempts to tie his economic policy to communism.  He also promises an honorable end to the Vietnam War, promoting a "chicken hawk" policy of de-escalation without complete withdrawal.  TNF accuses Oldiesfreak of being a tool of wealthy bankers and businessmen while promising a complete withdrawal from Vietnam.  In a seeming reversal of 1960, Governor Oldiesfreak also comes under fire for his religious affiliation, which TNF uses to portray the Governor as anti-Catholic, thus further strengthening the latter's Catholic support.  Polls leading up to the election suggest a close contest, but on Election Day, TNF wins comfortably, winning the popular vote 53-44% (with 3% voting third party), and taking the Electoral College 394-144.  Despite accusations of fraud by Republicans, Oldiesfreak refuses to ask for recounts, realizing that TNF's margin of victory is too wide to change the outcome.  TNF narrowly carries Illinois with the help of some dead-vote magic from Mayor Daley, and his strengh with Catholics and labor proves too strong for Oldiesfreak to even carry his home state of Michigan, which he takes by one of the narrowest margins of any state.

1868
The Radical faction of the Republican party found itself triumphant at the year's party convention. The Radicals, which had held a very strong position of power in the party after the 1866 elections, were now prepared to take the Presidency. The question remained, however, of who would lead the party to victory. With General Ulysses S. Grant as well as several Congressional leaders bowing out or proving unsuccessful, the nomination went to favorite son Oldies Freak of Michigan. A former Michigan Governor, Lincoln Secretary of the Interior, and Lt. Colonel in the Civil War for his own home state of Michigan, in 1866, Freak had entered the Halls of Congress as part of the Radicals' strong congressional gains. A proud radical and anti-secessionist who had resigned his position in the cabinet in 1862 to "take the fight to Johnny Reb", Freak came from the Mid-Western social Gospel tradition of the Republican Party: anti-slavery, pro-temperance, pro-tariff, and anti-immigration. A Protestant and nativist, several of Oldies Freak's political confidants held nativist and anti-Catholic sentiments.

The Democrats, for their measure, nominated New York Governor Cath Con. The Presbyterian son of Scots-Irish immigrants with a Catholic father, Con had made his career as a foot-soldier for Tammany Hall. Derided by many as "Tweed's candidate", Con nevertheless intended to represent the party proudly. With slavery a settled issue and the war won, Construction was the key political issue. While Con had been a unionist during the war, he and his surrogates called for an end to Reconstruction and "Return to Normalcy". As well, in the East great political hay was made of Freak's stance on temperance, driving up the number of immigrants and Catholics that went to the voting booth in Con's favor.

Mid-campaign, while addressing a crowd of Union war veterans in Ohio, Oldies Freak made the claim that he didn't "care if Reconstructions stretches on  for a century." Having, "no problems if Union soldiers were stationed in the South well into the future". The Cath Con campaign attempted to drive up numbers of white Southerners as well as moderates in border and Mid-West states using what was called "needless war-making". Nevertheless, the Republicans would not be so easily un-seated. Oldies' surrogates worked across the country to bring Union veterans to the polls to ensure victory. Weeks after election day, counts were still being debated in New York, Ohio, Indiana, and the entire Reconstruction South where Union soldies and blacks were in a state of semi-war with white Southerners. Republicans charged that, should Democrats win, it would be the result of "Immigrants, Papists, drunkards, and traitors" while Cath Con's campaign claimed that the entire Republican campaign had been predicated on denying Southerners and Catholics the right to vote. A Republican preacher would make the claim that a Democratic victory meant a victory for "Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion". However, he had little to worry about when, after all other states were settled, Arkansas, Alabama, and North Carolina gave Oldies Freak a win over New York Governor Cath Con.

Harry Truman's bludgeoning unpopularity allowed an opening for Republicans. Would they go for the interventionist Governor of Michigan Cathcon, or the non-interventionist Congressman from Oklahoma Maxwell? As it ended up, it became clearer that Cathcon won the delegate race on the second ballot in spite of Maxwell's late delegate surge because of the state of California.

Former Connecticut Senator and centrist Scott managed to come out of a blood bath between Vice President Al Gore and Senator Bill Bradley. Meanwhile, the Republican field managed to produce a candidate who many felt was outside the mainstream, Conservative Oklahoma Governor Maxwell. Scott and Maxwell even had some agreements on certain fiscal issues, but Scott led in most of the polls along the way. Florida was surprisingly close, but Scott pulled off easily.

2016 GOP Primary: Liberty Prevails!

The 2016 Presidential primary proved to be a bruising one. Governor Maxwell of Oklahoma, known for his small-government and libertarian principles, was a favorite among many in the Tea Party, despite a progressive stance on social issues. Senator Tmthforu94 of neighboring Kansas, elected in 2010 to replace Brownback, dazzled many when he was the keynote speaker at the 2012 RNC Convention, and his charisma helped him surge to the top. However, he has been criticized for siding with the moderate faction in the Kansas GOP, and despite high favorables from Democrats and Independents, struggling gaining traction with GOP voters.

(
)

After a long and bruising primary, Governor Maxwell eventually prevails. In an effort to unify the party, he goes on to select Senator Tmthforu94 as his running mate, and the two narrowly win in the General Election.

Senator Supersonic (R-TN) - 64.6%, 1539 Delegates
Governor Maxwell (R-OK) - 30.8%, 738 Delegates
Scattered Others - 4.6%, 31 Delegates

Senator Supersonic was everything the party could dream for: A conservative Senator, with a high approval rating, and some positions that would bring centrists into the fold. The only issue: a libertarian governor from Oklahoma, gaining supporters across both extremes: Liberal Republicans, upset with Supersonics pro-life and pro-gun control positions, and Future Tea Partiers, upset with the Senators willingness to compromise. Maxwell ran on his record of balanced budgets and low taxes in Oklahoma, and managed to come within 20 points of a victory in Iowa and winning New Hampshire (49 M - 44 S)... Something none of the pundits were expecting. After Supersonic barraged Maxwell in ads during Super Tuesday, however, the Governor slowed down to a loss in Ohio, causing him to withdraw from the race.

Supersonic would go on to narrowly defeat incumbent President Antonio California.

The 2016 Presidential Election

(
)

Bballrox4717 (D-NY): 50.1 %, 300 electoral votes
Governor Maxwell (R-OK): 48.7 %, 238 electoral votes

Governor Maxwell of Oklahoma shocked the country when the Libertarian defeated his conservative rivals for the Republican nomination. His victory originally threatened to split the party, and Bballrox4717 sailed to a lead of over 10 points in the polls. Governor Maxwell took advantage of the division created by Obama and Bush's presidencies and attempted to sell his Libertarian ideology as a pragmatic way to solve problems across party lines - he had already seen bipartisan support from liberals and conservatives alike over an amendment to shelve controversial portions of the PATRIOT ACT. Maxwell's campaign rose to within striking distance and eventually took the lead when he defeated Bballrox4717 in the first debate.  

Bballrox4717 throughout the campaign rose Governor Maxwell's disapproval among social conservatives by successfully connecting his religious beliefs to his economic policies to Governor Maxwell's secular Libertarianism. While Bballrox4717 never expected social conservatives to vote for him, his ads were designed to attempt to keep them home on Election Day. He also attempted to bring neoconservatives onto his campaign, focusing himself as a pragmatic foreign policy hawk in contrast to Maxwell's dovish-ness. The strategy proved to be disastrous in the west, in which Governor Maxwell took all of the battlegrounds states, Oregon, and almost won Washington as well. Nevertheless, Bballrox4717 won the election by regaining his lead in the Midwest, winning among seniors in Florida, and by keeping Governor Maxwell on defense in more traditionally socially conservative states such as Missouri, North Carolina and Georgia. The success of the Maxwell campaign would provide a groundwork for future Libertarian presidential candidates, and the 2016 election would later be seen as a realigning election.

1840
The Panic of 1837 would doom Cathcon's presidency early on. Refusing to intervene following the economic collapse, in his re-election, the nation would be ripe for change. Senator TNF, a Kentucky Whig and Henry Clay protege, seemed the perfect candidate. In the past, the Democrats had been able to successfully appeal to the poor, immigrants, and all the rest against the elitist and fiscally wasteful Whigs. However, with TNF's own humble roots and record of support for universal white male suffrage, the radical young Senator was able to steal vast swathes of the vote in Appalachia and the South that might have ordinarily gone Democratic. Cathcon, for his part, had surrogates working hard to gain back the support of frontiersmen in the West along with his own Michigan. As well, immigrants in states such as New York and Pennsylvania would aid in his re-election battle. However, the Panic had done its damage and come March 4th, 1841, TNF would be swearing in as the first Whig President.

O: 0 - 4%

This is tricky - I think there are states that we'd both win purely by virtue of the letters next our names. I think the battle grounds will be the South, primarily, NC, GA, SC and FL, the South West, CO and NV in particular as well as NH.

Goldwater's social liberalism triggers a small but damaging conservative third-party candidate. This swings borderline Southern states to me, and lowers the margins across the South, but CO and NV flip back into the R column. The closest states would be GA, CO and NH. His base in the NW gives him a boost in WA, OR and CA - but not enough to flip them.

Senator Sawx from New Hampshire turned out to be the next big thing, defeating such prominent opponents as Former Senator Oakvale, Former Vice President Bacon King, and liberal Georgia Governor Adam Griffin. He was a dark horse in the race, but proved to be a very strong general election candidate, and with Oakvale's interesting and appealing views to some small government friends, he moved the voters.

Republicans had less luck. Their original frontrunner, maverick Senator Clarence had a heart attack and dropped out of the race. This left a contentious battle between Kentucky Governor ZuWo, Governor and Former Senator Maxwell, Senator Hagrid, and Governor Cathcon. Maxwell ended up the winner, but even with a uniting pick of prominent social conservative TJ in Cleve, he could not make up the gap between him and Senator Sawx.

Post by: Peter the Lefty on October 29, 2013, 05:50:24 PM
Social conservatives were highly disenchanted by the choice between an openly gay social democrat and a socially liberal libertarian in the mold of Gary Johnson.  Naturally they decided that a straight social liberal was better than an open homosexual, and that a diehard supporter of the free market was far preferable to a man more left-wing than any American President in history.  Yet liberals were energized by Peter the Lefty's candidacy, and many pundits viewed his decision to campaign on pocketbook issues as a wise choice.  Moderate voters found both of their economic views uncomfortable to contemplate. 

Maxwell was able to sway affluent and educated voters, helping him to win New Hampshire and Virginia.  Ohio and Florida swung simply because of the closeness of the race.  Yet this combination was enough to win Maxwell 270 electoral college votes compared to Peter's 268.  Some say that Pennsylvania itself could have swung had it not been Peter's home state.  Socially conservative, Republican-leaning voters ultimately decided it to be necessary to vote for a straight social liberal to prevent the election of an openly gay social liberal, and social democrat.  This factor combined with Maxwell's appeal to educated, affluent suburbanites outside of Philly and Pittsburgh would probably have been enough to deliver him a winning coalition had the home-state effect not energized Pennsylvania Democrats to elect Peter.  Colorado also came extremely close, but its youthful population voted for Peter due to his promise to abolish public university tuition fees.  Yet it wasn't enough. 

By one electoral vote, Maxwell defeated Peter to become President of the United States for reasons which he himself would never have wanted.

President Supersonic is fairly popular, he has a 51% approval rating going into the election. Senator Miles (LA) is the Democrat's nominee. Miles runs to the right of Supersonic on several social issues; this helps him stay competitive in the south, but backfires with voters in swingier states, especially out west.

On election day, Supersonic wins reelection 51-48 and winning 284-254 in the electoral college. Compared to the last election, Miles is able to flip his home state of LA and wins MS, mostly because of his popularity along the Gulf Coast. NC and VA, both razor-close last time, trade columns.

The election dramatically isolated parts of the nation for one candidate or the other. The Northeast and Pacific stuck with the Democrats while the South and West went for the Republicans. While the Ohio Governor did not fear he would lose his own state, Wisconsin's tossup nature and it's proximity to Michigan resulted in him picking Senator Baldwin in order to better their chances there while also balancing the male/female ticket that were both LGBT.

Oldiesfreak, feeling confident that he could carry Michigan, decides to pick a popular Republican Senator from Nevada after Governor Adam FitzGerald's botched comment early on that he would promise that he would never overturn the ban on prostitution.

In the end, Governor ACF narrowly holds on in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Oregon while Oldiesfreak sweeps a number of tossup states down south and out west giving him the victory.

The contest that would define a century. Matt Rose, a Union Army General and reform Governor of New Jersey, would win the Presidency by the barest of margins against former House Speaker TNF of Kentucky, a radical Republican insistent on "completing the Second American Revolution" by campaigning to establish a ten hour day. Rose promises to "accept Reconstruction" and "defend the voting rights of freedman," a major departure from established Democratic policy up to that point. In the end, party coalitions shift a bit; immigrants supportive of the ten hour day crossover for the Republican ticket, while traditionally Republican industrialists crossover for the classically liberal Rose.

Rose will take the Oath of Office as the Republicans clinch control of the House and TNF is once again returned as Speaker. Ironically the greatest reform to come out of the Rose administration will be the Ten Hour Bill, officially mandating a ten hour workday and shepherded through the House by the Speaker from Kentucky.

His ideas were in stark difference to the Republican establishment, and when Florida Democrat Flo was nominated, he trailed by as much as 15 points across the nation. As the campaign went on, Maxwell chipped Flo's lead down, nominating Maryland Senator, DC Al Fine, a Moderate with socially conservative trends, and many liberals looked at the Flo ticket, with a fiscal conservative and Flo's hard on crime record, and Democrats were worried about Liberal turnout. However, Flo was in no danger of losing: he won the generic Democratic states plus North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, Nevada, and Arizona. However, Maxwell managed to swipe New Hampshire, and inspite of poor polling, he won Indiana.

1880

President Matthew Rose's signature on the Ten Hour Bill and his insistence on federal arbitration for the Great Strike of 1877 (which was ultimately settled in favor of the strikers), as well as his support for tariffs on industrial goods and civil service reform ultimately causes him to fall out of favor with many in the Democratic Party, which denies him renomination in 1880. The Democrats instead select the right-leaning Governor of Colorado, Maxwell, a classically liberal Democrat who promises to slash the tariff and take a harder line against the labor movement.

The Republicans once again turn to the Speaker of the House, the radical from Kentucky with close ties to the emerging labor movement. The "Father of the Ten-Hour Day," Speaker TNF campaigns on a platform of restricting working hours for women and children, supporting federal arbitration in the case of a strike, and higher tariffs to support American industry.

In a similar pattern to the 1876 contest between Speaker TNF and then General Rose, the Democrats make inroads with industrialists and the upper middle class, while the Republicans continue to eat into the immigrant base of the Democratic Party.

The election was quite close as the two were quite ideologically similar. It ends up centering around rhetoric- with Kentucky Governor TNF doing better in the South and with working class whites, while Sol did better in big cities and with minorities. Sol won very narrowly, thanks to Minnesota, which was called after a month-long recount.

Congressman Sol (North Carolina)
Governor Scott (Connecticut)

After a bitter long primary, Governor Scott of Connecticut concedes the nomination to Congressman Sol of North Carolina.  Scott, a former minister, did best among working class whites and traditional Democrats in rural areas, which at the time were a shrinking demographic within the party.  Sol, the more liberal alternative, did best among urban areas and minorities who were quickly winning the heart of the Democratic Party.

1928

The 1928 campaign would not have been possible were it not for radio. The wide range of radio helped propel Scott, a minister from Connecticut, to the GOP nomination with relative ease; his crisp speaking style and charisma did the trick at the Republican National Convention, of course, and his promise to continue Harding and Coolidge's "policies of prosperity" i.e. lower taxes, co-operation between business and government, and protectionism. He vowed to uphold prohibition, Christian morality, and public decency.

The Democrats ultimately nominated Senator TNF, a recent addition to the U.S. Senate with a charismatic speaking style and an uncompromising populism that melded agricultural laborers with industrial workers.

Reverend Scott (D-CT)
Governor Adam C. FitzGerald (D-OH)

Rev. Scott is backed heavily in the South for being more economically conservative than was his opponent, Adam FitzGerald. FitzGerald's promotion for strict gun control and critical stances on certain religions including Mormonism and Catholicism also helps Scott greatly in the South, most of the Northeast and Mountain area in the Democratic primary. However, Adam FitzGerald gets the backing of many middle-class workers, unions and minorities in the industrial and Pacific states.

Ultimately, Rev. Scott significantly outnumbered the number of highly populated states carried by FitzGerald and wins the popular vote and most delegates for the nomination.

Sen. AdamFitzgerald (D-OH)/Sen. Ralph Yarborough (D-TX): 157 (45% PV)
Fmr. Gov. George Wallace (I-AL)/Mr. Curtis Lemay (I-OH): 53 (6% PV)

The 1968 presidential election turns out to be a hot 3-way contest.  Republicans, still reeling from Barry Goldwater's embarrassing landslide defeat in 1964, nominate moderate Governor Oldiesfreak1854 of Michigan.  Oldiesfreak is a strong supporter of civil rights legislation, an outspoken anti-Communist, and a "chicken hawk" on the Vietnam war, supporting a de-escalation but opposing a total withdrawal.  At the convention, Oldiesfreak chooses Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York (one of his challengers for the GOP nomination) and positions himself as the moderate candidate who would fight against racial segregation, violent crime, and the counterculture.  His candidacy, however, alienates many conservatives who supported Goldwater four years earlier; Oldiesfreak in turn attempts to unite conservatives and moderates in their opposition to Democrats.
Meanwhile, Democrats nominate Senator AdamFitzgerald of Ohio.  Adam, a dovish liberal, is similarly pro-civil rights but supports an immediate withdrawal from Vietnam.  Much of his support comes from unions and blue-collar employees, as well as the anti-war movement.  In order to shore up his liberal base, Adam chooses Senator Ralph Yarborough of Texas as his running mate.  Segregationist Democrats, meanwhile, support former Alabama Governor and Democrat George Wallace with General Curtis LeMay, running on the ticket of the newly created American Independent Party.
During the campaign, Oldiesfreak attacks Wallace's racism and Adam's counterculture support, while linking Adam to President Johnson and the "failed policies of the past."  He also campaigns in metropolitan regions of the South, seeking support from pro-civil rights moderates and migrants while attempting to marginalize the segregationist vote.  Adam pledges to expand Johnson's Great Society programs and negotiate peace talks in Vietnam.  Wallace, on the other hand, smears both major party candidates as "sissy britches" and secret tools of the Soviet Union attempting to undermine America.
On Election Day, voters send a clear verdict repudiating both ideological extremes; giving Oldiesfreak a decisive victory in the Electoral College and 49 percent of the national popular vote.  Similarly, Wallace siphons off enough segregationist and blue-collar Democrats to carry six Southern states and hand several Rust Belt states, including Adam's home state of Ohio, to the GOP ticket.

Incumbent President TNF (D-Ky.) has spent the last four years enacting the provisions of his "Fair Deal" program, a program that has provoked unprecedented opposition from American industrialists. As war looms in Europe, the President forms an electoral alliance with the Socialist Party and members of the old Progressive Party who oppose U.S. entry into the war, campaigning on reform and prosperity at home without the risking American liberty in a perilous conflict abroad.

His opponent, Wisconsin Gov. ElectionsGuy, is campaigning largely against the President's social and economic reform package, while emphasizing his own isolationist principles.

Incumbent president Oldiesfreak1854, a moderate Republican from Michigan, has spent his first term toeing a fine line between conservatives and progressives in his party.  He supports some progressive reforms, such as women's suffrage, recall elections, and ballot initiatives, but also opposes the prohibition of alcohol and advocates a mostly internationalist foreign policy.  This angers many progressives and isolationists in the GOP, and he further angers them with his support of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff in 1909, a compromise bill that lowered tariffs on some goods.  In 1912, Oldiesfreak runs for reelection, and despite progressive calls for a challenge within the GOP, manages to win re-nomination easily.  In the general election, his Democratic challenger is Senator TNF of Kentucky, a progressive Democrat with a strong populist streak and some socialist leanings.  He builds a strong coalition of workers and immigrants, as well as progressive and isolationist Republicans who abandoned Oldiesfreak after the convention.  Ultimately, in spite of Oldiesfreaks' best efforts, TNF defeats him by a decisive margin, built mostly on his large support base compared to the president.

1948

Having assumed office upon the death of his boss, President TNF would lead the country through the end of the Second World War and into a period of uneasy reconversion to a peacetime economy. A New Dealer through and through, the President would retain most of FDR's most trusted lieutenants and seek to expand the New Deal under the guise of his own "Fair Deal" program, which promised guaranteed access to medical care for all, and a job and a home for every American, as well as increased federal aid to education. Democrats held control of Congress in the 1946 midterm elections, with the President campaigning aggressively to "retain the New Deal and expand it."

The 80th Congress would thus be one of the most productive in American history, although it would quickly run into trouble as right-wing propagandists on the radio and in the newspapers turned on what they saw as a "Red" administration led by the ex-Socialist Party member turned Democratic President. A flurry of legislation, guaranteeing full employment, expanding coverage of the minimum wage and effectively doubling it, the use of publicly-owned war plants to build prefabricated housing and railroad cars, national health insurance, federalizing education finance (passed over the howls of Southern members of Congress), and expanded coverage in Social Security would all be the order of the day. The President also made quick work of desegregating the armed forces and promoting racial integration in government, with federal hiring following new quotas aimed at bringing more minority groups into government established for the first time.

On foreign policy, the administration adopted a policy of "co-dominion" with the USSR, effectively dividing the world between American and Soviet spheres of influence. The "Red administration" also did it's best to protect American communists from attacks by the HUAC, resisting calls for expulsions of communists from trade unions, teaching positions, and administrative posts at the local and state levels. All of this, combined with the relative ease in expansion of the welfare state, would ultimately undo the administration going into the 1948 Presidential race.

The Republican nominee, Senator Goldwater of Washington, would attack the President for "appeasing" the Soviet Union abroad and "expanding socialism into every area of economic life" at home. His sterling conservative credentials, close ties with the business community and military contractors, as well as his support for civil rights made his nomination a lock for the GOP in 1948. Southern defectors, upset with the President for his use of quotas to hire more minorities in government and his decision to begin enforcing the 14th and 15th Amendment via the Justice Department, would split the Democratic ticket in the South and help the nominee of the State's Rights Democratic Party, Virginia Senator shua, take the Deep South.

The nation, tired of almost two decades of Democratic rule and growing more fearful of the Soviet Union (as well as fed up with daily strikes which the President and the administration had strongly weighed in on, on the side of labor), ultimately catapulted Goldwater into the White House in a shocking upset. Sen. Goldwater's victory would come as a complete surprise to most observers, who fully expected the President to win an easy second term in the White House.

President TNF of Kentucky and Senator Gass3268 of Wisconsin (Democratic Party): 45.07%
Senator Goldwater of Washington and Senator MattVT of Vermont (Republican Party): 51.92%

President Jefferson took office in 2021 to huge popularity. Unemployment dropped below 5% in March of that year, and President Jefferson secured a major campaign promise in his first 100 days by presenting a balanced budget to Congress, which passed both chambers with 70% of support from its members.

Meanwhile, Congressman Badgate - who improbably unseated TX-24 Republican Rep. Kenny Marchant in 2016 - is appointed Senator by Governor Julian Castro, elected in 2018, after there is outcry that the Governor may appoint his own brother. Senator Badgate replaced John Cornyn after his sudden death. :( Due to Texas' lax appointment laws, Senator Badgate does not have to face the statewide voters until 2026.

Senator Badgate declines to run in 2024, and endorses Governor Julian Castro. Two days after the Democratic National Convention, however, Governor Castro suffers an aneurism and dies. Vice Presidential candidate Senator Alison Grimes declines to take the top of the ticket. After two days of emergency voting online by the delegates of the DNC, Senator Badgate is improbably nominated. Because why not! Senator Badgate convinces Grimes to stay on the ticket, but many Americans who were undecided flock to President Jefferson because they know him.

The debates were considered to be quality discussions of policy, but the President was clearly the better politician on the debate stage. Senator Badgate is considered to have won the town hall debate, but disappointed in the final debate on foreign policy. As election day approaches, President Jefferson has gained more support by opening up on his second term agenda...

After the impeachment of President Jefferson and VP Kasich, Speaker Goldwater was named President, he later selected former Sec. State Colin Powell, his economic policy marked a Libertarian turn for America between 2010-2012, known as the "Yellow Crush", though driving off Tea Party Candidates after coming out in support of Gay Marriage and Athiesm, Senator Ted Cruz (Appointed after the untimely death of John Cornyn in late 2009), challenged him from the right, he gained a lot of steam, winning his home state of Texas, Arizona, Nevada, and surprisingly, even Wisconsin, though Goldwater pulled through after Cruz's campaign was drained of funds after the resignation of Chief of Staff Steve Stockman, meanwhile, Governor Guntaker of Wisconsin, who defeated Scott Walker in a landslide of 56% to 43%, also famous for his stand against Gun Control, passing both a Hand Gun and assault Weapons ban in the space of 5 months, spoke up to run after his approvals were at 50%, he faced an uphill climb to defeat favorite for the nomination and 2008 runner up Mary Landreiu, but after Landreiu's campaign started imploding after a series of bad Debate performances, notable gaffes, and flip flopping on a number of issues, she pulled out of the race to fundraise with Senate Candidates, allowing Guntaker to narrowly snatch Iowa, followed by a .2% win over Senator Liz Warren (Beat Brown in 2010), who then pulled out herself, Guntaker found himself waltzing to the nomination, but with troubles from the Religious/Evangelical Democrats, who took issue with his Social Liberalism and being an Athiest, he soothed the worries by picking Rep. Scott from Arkansas, an outspoken Religious Moderate, Guntaker's road to beating Goldwater was set, in the Debates, Guntaker tied with Goldwater on Economic Issues, but made gaffes when it came to Social Issues, not wanting to offend the Religious right, but he pulled through in the second and third, due to Goldwater being tied up and stressed after visiting former President Jefferson in Illinois, in the end, 2012 would go down as one of the most exciting races in history.

With social issues virtually a non issue in the campaign, the country originally preferred Goldwater's economic conservatism over IceSpear's economic liberalism, so he led in the polls by big margins. However, after a rough campaign in which IceSpear relentlessly attacked Goldwater's neoconservatism, the margin tightened, but not enough to deprive Goldwater of a relatively comfortable victory.

1964

President Butafly (D-Ill) is challenged by left-wing populist Sen. TNF (D-Ill) for renomination. The two are ultimately similar enough in ideology that it largely turns into a regional coalition contest, with the President ultimately winning re-nomination fairly easily.

1960 Republican Primary:

University professor Dr. GOPLibertarian of Georgia becomes the first Southerner to run for the Republican nomination. GOPLibertarian preforms well in the Dixie states as well as South Dakota and Nebraska. However, the doctor is defeated by Senator Goldwater of Washington. Despite his loss, GOPLibertarian is selected for the Vice Presidential nomination thanks their similar viewpoints and GOPLibertarian's surprisingly well performance. This mostly reinforces the ticket, as Dr. GOPLibertarian is not admired by Southern Democrats because of his pro-Civil Rights attitude.

In an alternate universe...

The People's Congress of Workers' and Farmers' Councils of the United Socialist States of America convenes shortly after it's election in the 2016 General Election to elect a new Presidium. Unlike the Presidency of the old United States of America, the Presidium is a multi-member executive body responsible for carrying out the decisions of the People's Congress, and as such, multiple members will be elected by the various state delegations representing their constituent Workers' and Farmers' Councils.

Although a few slates are possible selections in the outset, a few rounds of balloting narrows the contest considerably between two particular slates of candidates. On the right, People's Representative blagohair represents the Coalition of Progressive Electors (CPE), a combined slate consisting of the Communist Party of the United Socialist States of America and the Progressive Party (of which he is a member). On the left is People's Representative TNF, running as the candidate of the People's Planning Coalition (PPC), a combined slate of the Socialist Workers Party (his own), the Federation of Socialist Ecologists, and the United Christian Party.

Damn it FreedomHawk. Well, I made the map, so whatever.

1952 - A Time for Change
After nearly twenty years of Democratic control, Americans were finally ready for a change. Senator James "FreedomHawk" Nelson, a liberal Republican, sweeped the field with his broad message of freedom and hawkishness. Toward the end of his campaign, he faced a stiff challenge from Conservative California Congressman Ryan "Madman" Motley who won a last batch of primaries. Nelson, fearing a revolt if he runs with another liberal or a full on conservative, picked a moderate for his VP, Indiana Governor Timothy Bush.

On the Democratic side, the field was crowded with former non-contenders. What stood out was the campaigning techniques of conservative Governor of Oklahoma John Maxwell. Maxwell, an ardent fiscal conservative, proposed a repeal of a large portion of the new deal. In addition, he promised a complete change from the Truman years, promising to repeal the Truman doctrine and put into place a "no new wars policy". He alienated a lot of voters, but this strategy brought so many challengers that he won the divided convention handily due to his handy business connections. To make matters worse, he nominated Businessman Rodney Spiral, a former candidate for Missouri Governor, to be his Vice President. Rodney Spiral was his former campaign manager, and alienated a lot of Democrats.

Nelson was considered a shoe-in, but won an underwhelming margin after it was revealed in Early October that he had antagonized the Soviets in a private meeting with Josef Stalin after he shook a Russian Ambassador. Maxwell took full advantage of that exchange, and brought on a lot of old time, isolationist conservatives on to his ticket, picking up states that many thought he wouldn't win. Nelson, however, won the election, getting his last laugh.

Senator James "Freedom Hawk" Nelson (R-CT)/Governor Timothy Bush (R-IN) - 53.5%, 366 EV's

The Year is 1976 and in wake of Watergate, the populace are in desperate want for an honest candidate who can move the country forward. This is the only year in which someone like me (MormDem) or Maxwell would ever get the nod.

(
)

This is a result of a series of very heated debates and the battle ultimately becomes one of populism vs. libertarianism, however some "home-state" charisma comes into play.

Ultimately in spite of running a very Jimmy Carter like campaign, MormDem ended up losing the South entirely for the Democrats because although the party had Al Smith and JFK to clear the way for Catholics, Mormons were a very different story.

However, this instead took all the West from Maxwell. Places that would've appreciated the social liberalism on the Left Coast  were turned off by the fiscal conservatism (except for Oregon) and were okay with someone more moderate. And Utah,Idaho, and Arizona all swung the pendulum far the other way for the same reason the South was lost.

And Nevada remains the more reliable bellwether than Ohio.

Ultimately the stats are:

MormDem (D-CA): 50.1% PV, 292 EV
Maxwell (I-OK): 48.7% PV, 246 EV
Other: 1.2% PV, 0 EV

2016: A Sudden and Dramatic Realignment

FreedomHawk (R-CT)'s economic pragmatism with a libertarian flavor proved popular nationwide. It was his stance on social issues that became the problem. His anti-religious attitude and social liberalism lost him, albeit narrowly, normal strongholds like Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and even, in a shocker, Utah, where  MormDem (D-CA) was able to rally enough fellows of his faith to eek out a win, though all of their Republican representatives were still re-elected. On the flip side, Hawk's social liberalism and reaching out to minorities and common workers in unions granted him the ability to flip places like Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Wisconsin, and hold on to the bluing Georgia, thus winning him the election despite his loss of regular gurantees.

Ultimately 2014s losses led to the Democratic Party to nominate someone completely as far away from the Third Way as possible. Someone more economically populist who could cater to failing white vote, religious, while retaining minorities. This leads to the tapping of Governor Cuthbert "MormDem" Olson V of California

On the other end, the GOP nominate someone more progressive socially but a hard-liner on deficit hawkery. In the end, in the hopes of a 1964 rematch, they nominate Governor R. David Pryor of New Jersey.

Cuthbert "MormDem" Olson (D-CA)/Tim Kaine (D-VA): 322 EV, 52% PV
R. David Pryor (R-NJ)/Ron Johnson (R-WI): 216 EV, 48% PV

Ultimately, Morm Dem makes some in-roads in the South, but at the cost of more libertarian blue states such as New Hampshire,Maine, Colorado,Wisconsin or Oregon...but thanks to faith, he manages to make Utah the most competitive since LBJ won it in 1964.

The Northeast and Deep South remain as they are thanks to the VP picks that were more in-line with conventional platforms. For Olson,this meant the tapping of Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, for Pryor, this meant the tapping of Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.

Absolute Chaos: The 2016 Presidential Election

(
)

After intense primary fights for both parties, the more radical elements of the Democrats and Republicans both revolt. Tea Party Republicans are upset at Governor Bigby (R - GA) for his liberal views on social issues and foreign policy. As a result, Governor Mike Huckabee (R - AR) runs under a 3rd party naming themselves the "Conservative Party." Meanwhile, Senator MormDem (D - CA) wins a similar upset in the Democratic primary, but faces similar challenges from the far left in his party due to his socially conservative leanings and his religious affiliation. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D - MA) runs under the "Progressive Party" banner in response. On Election Day, both mainstream parties hold on surprisingly well, and even win in states they normally wouldn't due to the calamity of the election. However, no one achieves an electoral majority. Will MormDem or Bigby strike a deal together, or will someone reach out to Mike Huckabee first? Both chambers of Congress are Republicans, but many conservative Republicans have already pledged to not support Bigby, and several liberal Democrats have made the same vow against MormDem.

Governor Bigby (R - GA)/Congressman Justin Amash (R - MA): 255 EVs, 33.1% PV
Senator MormDem (R - CA)/Former Governor Bill Richardson (D - NM): 190 EVs, 34.2% PV

US Presidential Election, 2044

Senator Bigby of Georgia is nominated by the Republican Party on the relatively libertarian platform which has become the party norm since the 2020s. He faces the Democratic Governor of Colorado, Yelnoc, who can also claim Georgia has his home state. Polling a year out suggests the race will be a close one, but a series of revelations relating Yelnoc's past politics, relationships, and drug use, contrasted to Bigby's "squeaky clean" record, serves to sink his candidacy.

US Presidential Democratic Primary, 2016

A very close battle ala 2008 grips the Democrats as two prominen candidates battle on mostly similar reforms.

Both candidates have skeletons in the closet though.

In the case of Harrison "MormDem" Reed of California, it is his religion, which causes skepticism and fear among the Jewish, Atheist, Asian, and young voters as well. It does however bring back some alienated farmers, Evangelicals, and draw in some socially more conservative Hispanics and  black people who though skeptical are drawn in to the economic "big government approach" that is decidedly seen as more helpful to the plight of the poor than the Third Way. However his astounding lack of scandal and teetotalling record brings back an image not seen since 1976.

On the other side is Governor Dave Yelnoc of Georgia who runs a more traditional liberal platform, and his record of pot using,along with a more charismatic personality ends up taking most minorities,youth and roughly splitting up the black vote. His use of "accountable government" also manages to woo some conservative voters wary of a MormDems nearly straight up New Deal like platform which is seen as "handouts"

(
)

Ultimately it is a battle of rural vs urban, with Yelnoc managing to squeak by thanks to Leftist hatred of devout Christianity combined with Centrist hatred of strict regulation, and a general attitude against pot control.


But most humiliating is the loss of Alameda County, CA to the opponent.

Post by: TNF on December 08, 2014, 10:36:41 AM
The 1930s were not kind to the Republican Party. The crushing defeat of Alf Landon in 1936, followed by the subsequent collapse of the GOP in the Congressional elections that followed put it in a position akin to the old Whig Party as the 1940s opened. The 1940 Presidential Election actually saw the Republicans back a fusion candidacy between themselves and a rising semi-fascist right-populist 'American Party', followed up in 1944 by the merger of both groups into the 'American Republican Party', which would ultimately be harassed into extinction by wartime FBI repression and the defection of many of its moderate members.

This created a huge vacuum in the American political spectrum. Since the mid-1930s, various left-wing third parties had grown in response to the depressed economic environment. Progressives in Wisconsin, Farmer-Laborites and the Socialist Workers Party in Minnesota and Iowa, the 'American Labor Party' in New York, Socialists in Connecticut, and of course the Communist Party in Washington had all made inroads during the dark years of the Depression. With the GOP falling into disarray, these forces converged, forming an electoral pact and announcing the formation of the Labor Party of the United States, with strong backing from both the CIO and the AF of L. The Labor Party tested itself in the 1940 election, coming in a strong third, but really won big in 1944, securing the second spot in part thanks to FBI suppression of the fascist-Republican Frankenstein.

In 1948, the issue is how the United States should be governed in the postwar period. Incumbent President Goldwater, a former Republican who joined the Democrats with his former parties' slip into fascist reaction, became President upon the death of Franklin Roosevelt in 1945. Since taking office, he has signed off on the Taft-Hartley Act (proposed by Democratic Senator Taft and Democratic Representative Hartley) to curtail the labor movement and has adopted an increasingly aggressive posture against the Soviet Union. He has likewise moved to implement a 'Red Scare' policy at home, adopting loyalty oaths for federal employees and purging the government of known communist sympathizers. Goldwater has selected as his running-mate New Deal populist MormDem of California, creating the first ever fully West Coast presidential ticket.

The Labor Party has selected Trotskyist militant TNF for the top spot. A meat-cutter by trade, TNF has spent most of the past four years in a prison cell, having been arrested as part of a general sweep of anti-war activists. His selection by the Labor Party is a signal that the LP has adopted an anti-Cold War posture, and the significance of selecting a Trotskyist also signifies a pronounced opposition to Stalinism itself. As his running mate, TNF has selected anti-segregation activist Yelnoc of Georgia, in hopes of balancing his ticket and maintaining party unity with the left social democrats that compromise the other half of the LP (of which Yelnoc is a member).

Pres. Goldwater of Washington and Rep. MormDem of California (Democratic Party): 325

1988

The election of 1988 was the first election (above the municipal level) since the 1940s in which candidates not belonging to the Workers' Revolutionary Democratic Party were allowed to run. The WRDP, in a bid to rejuvenate its appearance, nominated reformist Chicago mayor TNF, although they hedged their bets by running party cheerleader Lief in the VP slot.

The newborn opposition was, predictably, fractured. The Independent Social Democratic Party and the Christian Democratic Party, thought to be the two largest factions, agreed on a fusion ticket; this, however, was very clearly a marriage of convenience and not love, and infighting between the two parties sank what had initially seemed to be a winning campaign.

 Senator Fred Hawkins (R-NH)/ Governor Michael Goldwater (R-WA) - 275 EV
 Senator Lloyd David Smith (D-VA)/ Senator Tom Davis (D-SD) - 263 EV

Hawkins' selective pick of his old friend, Governor Goldwater, not only was an ideological match, but also allowed the duo to successfully campaign with their unique brand of libertarianism in Washington and Oregon, with the former flipping only due to the small homestate advantage of the Vice President to be. Their embrace of social libertarianism also wins Hawkins' homestate of New Hampshire and old childhood home of Maine's Second District, where he campaigned extensively and ended up comfortably winning. However, this social liberalism also cost him Mississippi and Georgia and Virginia, where the socially conservative Smith/Davis ticket appealed to swing voters in the rapidly diversifying states. Pennsylvania goes Smith's way on the venue of appealing to socially conservative Pennsyltucky and fortifying the Philadelphia and Pittsburg strongholds. This liberalism also severely tightened Alabama, Arkansas, and Missouri, which only went their way due to party loyalist voters. Utah also only goes to them by 10 points. They manage to win Florida, Arizona, and New Mexico by appealing to Hispanics with their moderate stances on immigration, and in the first case, opposition to raising the retirement age. On Smith's side, his appeal to unions and economic progressivism manage to win him the majority of the Midwest and also seriously contest Appalachia for the first time in a while.

2044 Republican Presidential Primary
(
)
Governor Jack Enderman R-FL
Senator Richard Fayette R-IA


In what was the slimmest field of Republican primary candidates of recent history, Florida Governor Enderman claims victory in the friendliest primary campaign of all time. The more libertarian Senator of Iowa, Richard Fayette took the majority of the Northern and Midwestern votes. The main reason for this occurrence is the ideological similarities of the two candidates. However the main division was endorsements and strategy. Senator Fayette went with his already prevalent Midwestern appeal and spread that to the Northeast and New England, one of Governor Enderman's greatest weaknesses. However, Enderman reached to his deep grassroots in Wisconsin, which helped to send the Governor over the top. "A grand banana sweep" was the name of the strategy Enderman's campaign manager coined. It was quite obvious of the Governor's strategy. Energize the Hispanic and African American voters, as well as mend the urban-rural divide. The Mid-Atlantic and New Jersey was the hinging point of the campaign. Going into the General Election, Enderman decided to select Fayette as his running mate to make up for his lack of legislative experience.

2016 Presidential Election

The GOP decides to nominate Enderman, a moderate Libertarian, after a divisive primary.

After Clinton's tragic death due to sickness and Warren's refusal to be a candidate, the Dems nominate TNF, a strong committed leftist.

Enderman campaigns against TNF as out of the mainstream and portrays himself as "Common-sense Jack to get America Back on Track" and "We Back Jack," stolen from the Kingston Senate campaign.  The slogan sticks, and Jack wins.

2020 Presidential election:

Following a deep recession and growing violence in the Middle East with US intervention in Syria and Israeli air strikes on Iran, congressman Zen Lunatic of New York emerges as a dark horse frontrunner in the Democratic primaries. He runs on a staunchly anti-war platform, promising to finally bring US troops home after two decades of war. With anti-war sentiment growing this becomes popular and he attracts an army of young supporters to his banner, many of whom do not remember a time when the United States was not at war. Domestically, he self describes as a moderate libertarian Democrat and promises to increase regulations on Wall Street while decreasing them on small business, he also promises an end to the war on drugs and student loan forgiveness. In a surprising move he picks a fellow congressman Jarred Polis of Colorado, the first openly gay candidate for national office and cruises to an easy victory.

A hotly contested campaign that breaks mostly along traditional partisan lines.  The key swing states are thought to be Ohio, Iowa, Florida, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.  Your populist and not socially liberal campaign carries you to victory in Iowa and Wisconsin.  Meanwhile, my "anti-libertarian" ideology on many issues and vocal opposition to drug legalization costs me Colorado, which proves costly.  I do win Ohio and Florida and steal Pennsylvania due to emphasizing that it is my birthplace when campaigning in the state.

But, the election is decided when you carry your home state of Louisiana by a razor-thin margin after I never contested it, thinking it to be safe.

2020

Both parties' establishments were ambivalent about their nominees this year. The Democrats found themselves with the upstart Missouri Governor Ted 'Battenberg' Mountbatten, while the Republicans nominated freshman congressman and former Kasich hack King de la Pole. Mountbatten started off with a crushing lead, but a combination of a strong campaign from de la Pole (based entirely on how John Kasich is the reincarnation of Jesus) and a string of gaffes from Mountbatten (including praising Donald Trump and saying he would consider building a border wall 'for the jobs') led it to be a nailbiter.

In the end, Mountbatten won by a very thin margin. De la Pole swore revenge and promised that he would not leave the political arena.

Regional strength in the Northeast and a coalition of blacks and single-issue abortion voters in a couple of Southern states preserve me from a 1972/1984-level obliteration, but it's...it's not close. The margins in Colorado and Oregon should probably be higher. Maybe Pennsylvania and New Jersey should be flipped but New Jersey has a lot of FCBSL types in the suburbs and I'm imagining myself shilling perceived similarities to Bob Casey père for all they're worth in Pennsylvania.

2016 GOP Primaries
About the Candidates :

This primary season was a major battle between Governor Moderate Hero vs Senator Goldwater who both got elected in 2010. Goldwater represents the Libertarian Wing and but can also appeal to other conservatives due to being more mainstream on foreign affairs . Moderate Hero though represents the establishment wing though is a lot more fiscally responsible  then them .

Map:
(
)

Moderate Hero(Blue) GOP 1198
Goldwater 1109
Other 166


Moderate Hero Dominates:
Early on the race looked like a virutal dead heat as both candidates split the early states Moderate hero domination during Super tuesday made him the favorite  for the nomination against the Dems.Though texas surprisingly going for goldwater allowed goldwater to still have a chance of winning. Moderate Hero though expanded his lead winning the majority of states in the two weeks to follow and winning all the states on super tuesday two except  Illinois making people call for Goldwater to drop out of the race .

Goldwater turns the race arounds:  The next debate and two townhalls were decisive victories for Goldwater which allowed him to dominate the primaries after super tuesday 2 winning all the states from March 222nd- April 19th except Utah . This gave goldwater alot of momentum and allowed him to winning landslide victories in many libertarian states out west and his home state while limiting Moderate Hero victories to small victories , but Moderate Hero was able to ike out a victory in Cali to save the day for him;


Contested Convention:

With the race close Moderate Hero won on Ballot 2

This primary season was a major battle between Senator Gotham who lost the election 2012 to M. H. Republican despite a relatively centrist record. Gotham is challenged by the rather heterodox Larry D. Smith whom appears to be the most liberal candidate on stage (especially regarding foreign policy and social programs) and also appeal the most conservative. There is also a more liberal candidate trying to run, but he is underfunded.

(

Senator Sam Gotham (D-LA)
Governor Larry Deseret Smith (D-VA)

After rigorous campaigning, Iowa's caucus went to Sen. Gotham. Luckily, Gov. Smith snagged New Hampshire. Then the race went to South Carolina, which overwhelmingly favored Gotham. Then Super Tuesday happened, which overwhelming favored Gotham, although Virginia and some Northern states competing cast their lot with Smith. As it went on, Smith started to regain ground in the West and Northeast...but ultimately, he never quite made up the Super Tuesday losses. Thus making Gotham the nominee.

A farming crises, combined with Senator Goldwater's opposition to Farm , causes Republican support to collapse in the Great Plains region of the country, while the Senator's atheism and pro-choice views also leads to decreased turnout from religious conservatives, which allows Governor L.D. Smith to win in some southern states with large african-american populations. Most surprisingly, the Governor's Mormon faith, combined with Senator Goldwater's aforementioned atheism, allows him to win in the state of Utah

At first, Elbridge seemed to quash Mr. Smith like a bug....but then came Super Tuesday in which Mr. Smith made a hard appeal to disaffected workers who saw Elbridge as too "out-of-touch". Lo and behold the South was split and Smith made up some of the deficit. Elbridge did best with liberals, moderates, and ACLU wonks, while nanny-staters, conservatives, and populists went to Smith.

But then June came and Smith lost California big.

LD Smith-50.4%
VPH-49.6%
On the nationwide Populist Party primary day, LD Smith of Virginia narrowly defeated VPH of Kansas. Smith performed strongly in the most socially conservative parts of the country, and especially among the Populist Party's large Mormon bloc of voters. While VPH did well in the plains states and among Catholics, he could not make up the deficit of votes.

2020 Democratic primary

(
)

V.P.H. 54%
Newt C. Land 46%

With few differences in their platform, the primary comes down to cultural differences, similar to the 2008 primary. Minnesota Senator Newt C. Land has a coalition of northern whites, particularly with well-educated and urban whites. Being the first major Asian presidential candidate, the Asian vote gives Land particularly strong performances in the Pacific states.

Governor V.P.H. of Kansas builds coalition of white Catholics, Blacks, and Hispanics, prevailing since these constituencies make up a majority of the party. Even as the more moderate candidate won, the party's left-wing continues to grow stronger with both candidates endorsing most of Bernie Sanders's platform.

Governor Old School and Senator Goldwater stun the political world by dispatching all the front runners in the race and a battle between two centrist ensure. Goldwater attacks Governor Old School for opposing traditional republican foreign policy while Old School goes on the offense attacking Goldwater healthcare plan by calling it more liberal then obamacare. With the business establishment putting their support behind the Governor while the Senator gets support of the foreign policy establishment.

With Old School winning Iowa and New Hampshire the nomiantion was expected to be his but Goldwater makes a comeback winning SC and tying Old School in Nevada. On Super Tuesday Old School dominated the more business  establishment friendly northern primaries , but was decimated in every southern state not named texas. Pundits were wondering if this race was a repeat of the 2008 democratic primary where Goldwater taking the place of Obama dominated the smaller states, while Old School taking place of Hillary dominated the more larger industrial  states.

The Polls began to look bad for moderate hero as goldwater was surged in midwestern states such as Michigan. In the debate though Old school took the momentum back when he challenged Goldwater on his previous support of universal healthcare and promised to build infrastructure in this country before any countries. This proclamation allowed Old School to sweep the entire midwest, and even win states like flordia. After Super Tuesday 2 to Super Tuesday 3 Goldwater once again one every state by massive landslides except the big ones such as Wisconsin and New York.

On Super Tuesday 3 Old School was able to sweep New England due to his ties to both the big and small business community which was very prominent there. Goldwater after the losses instead of giving a concession speech slammed Old School saying he opposed Bush throughout his administration and claimed he would not be able to deal with foreign policy issues well. Old School unable to respond to hit hurt him badly as Goldwater won massively in all the states leading up to the final primaries except Old school home state of Oregon.

After the final debate which saw Goldwater attacking Old School for being to inbed with the current system while Old School attacked him for wanting a return to W Bush era which decimated our party.

With California going for Goldwater , the news media declared that they can project that the republican convention will be contested

Running on a socially libertarian, economically moderate and pro-free trade platform, Virginia Senator Tom Parrotstein attempted to defeat popular frontrunner California Senator Larry Smith for the Democratic nomination. Despite gaining traction with the black and moderate voters, as well as attracting moderate Republicans and independents to the primary, he fell short by quite a sizeable amount of delagates. He fought all the way to the convention, where he intended to make a play for the VP spot (can I has VP pweety please?).

With the advantage of an unpopular Republican ticket, Governor Peebleton was leading throughout the race, but on October 26, records of sex-reassignment surgery came up. While a gaffe by Senator Treme misgendering her helped her bounce back in the polls and win her back the popular vote from behind, it couldn't get her to 270 by the time the Electoral College met. Minnesota abstaining, the GOP-dominated Congress votes in Treme in January. Perhaps the cruelest piece of the election (for Democrats, that is): The recounts in Minnesota ended on July 7. Peebleton led by 21 votes.

The  result is, Super Tuesday is largely won narrowly by Mr. Smith, but he gets blown out just about every other big day.

Only because of home-state respect does California stay as narrow as it does.

In a stunning upset, the contested Democratic convention nominated moderate Virginia Senator Tom Parrotstein over a field of progressives. He was up against Montana Governor Indy Rep (pardon the ridiculous name :P). However, once a progressive third party challenge arose, combined with the national dissatisfaction with the Democratic party, it became clear that Parrotstein would lose. In a bizarre step epic trolling, he withdrew his name from the New Hamphire ballot (the Progressives didn't make the deadline).
On election night, the angriest victory speech in the history of the Unites States was destined to occure...

(

President Tom Parrotstein (VA)
Governor Emily Peebleton (NC)
Governor Peebleton only applied for the North Carolina ballot as a joke, and won in an upset against President Parrotstein.

Anyway, here's what I had in mind for TNV: The Duality of Angry Woman
(
)
Congresswoman Marla T. Treasurer (R-MT) / Businessman Oswald Ramarhkrishnan (R-OR) (replacing Senator Xavier Treme (R-TN)) - 299/50.2%
Governor Emily Peebleton (D-NC) / Senator Tom Parrotstein (D-VA) - 239/49.8%
In a contested convention, Martin Treasurer was picked as the Republican nominee, and he picked Tea Party champion Xavier Treme. Peebleton won in a tough, yet decisive victory against Senator Corey Crane of Washington. She picked Senator Tom Parrotstein as her running mate.
Beyond that, it was an average election... until the debates. Peebleton was confronted about a rumor that had recently surfaced. A former neighbor mentioned in an interview that he knew the now-Governor Peebleton as a young boy.
When she was about to confirm or deny the rumor, a woman named Ann Grey (nee Angerson) jumped onto the debate stage and castrated Treasurer, shouting "Heil Hassan, the Fuhrer of New Hampshire! The Reich of Angry Women will last for 78,779 years!" Her twin brother, Walter Heisenberg (again, ne Angerson), forced to take his wife's name, jumped on as well, shouting "Not if the Angry Men can help it! Sic semper trannies!" as he shot Peebleton.
From the hospital, Peebleton confirmed that she was indeed a trans woman, while Treasurer legally changed her gender and name to fit herself post-castration. Despite her previous remarks, this caused Treasurer to rise in polling of women.
Treme, believing that he had been running with a mentally ill (read: transgender) person this whole time, withdraws his name from the ticket, and is replaced by businessman Oswald Ramarhkrishnan by the RNC in spite of Treasurer's disavowal of his ""moderate" positions", in her own words.
By the end, polarization, the D next to Peebleton's name, and the Ds that used to be in both candidates' pants had combined to provide the map of a lifetime and the angriest victory speech in history.

Although the Democratic primary was initially crowded, it eventually boiled down to two very different candidates: Cashew, a socially moderate and economically liberal governor from California, and Smith, an economically moderate and socially liberal senator from Massachusetts. Although the primary was competitive at first, Cashew eventually amassed a comfortable delegate lead.

Senator Barry Goldwater (R-CA) / Congressman William Miller (R-NY) - 271
Governor Emily Peebleton (D-NC) / Senator Hubert Humphrey (D-MN) - 267

PoD: Goldwater is literally just the poster except born in 1909 instead of 1995.
President Lyndon Johnson chose Governor Emily Peebleton of North Carolina, who had been serving her state since 1961, to be his running mate. However, when Johnson suffered a massive heart attack, killing him, on September 1, 1964, the Democratic National Committee chose Peebleton to be the top of the ticket, following President John McCormack declining to run. She chose Senator Hubert Humphrey as her running mate.
It proved to be an odd match-up. Peebleton was able to use the death of her former running mate to gain sympathy votes, and while Peebleton had a slim lead and seemed likely to become the 38th and first female president, a private investigator found in October that she had a "Christine Jorgensen" ten years prior. Despite this Goldwater's centrism relative to OTL's Goldwater and theoretical electability, it somehow came down to the wire, and after several days and recounts in Colorado and North Carolina, Goldwater prevailed in both, with a 2% lead in the NPV. Upon the call of her home state for Goldwater, Peebleton conceded.

Former Sec. of State Emily Peebleton (D-NC) entered into the ring with a field mostly empty, with only CA-2 Congressman Lloyd Smith [D-Lakeport] offering a real challenge. While things looked likely to be an upset as Smith won Iowa in an upset and barely lost New Hampshire, the tide started to reverse again as Super Tuesday came, seeing most states go to Peebleton with states by Smith won narrowly. Ultimately, the loss of Arizona was the final straw for the Smith campaign, but a good chunk of states still protest voted for him anyway upon a leak revealing Peebleton had a sex change.

After a series of economic crises and wars under President Trump, the Republican party has collapsed. Its electorate forsook it, and those who did not have split into various minor parties, way too focused on salvaging some Senate and House seats to bother with the Presidential race. It seemed like the Democrats might run in the 2024 election unopposed, but after the staunch economically leftist and socially moderate Larry Smith won the nomination, Senator Tom Parrotstein of Virginia declared an independent run. A socially liberal, economically centerist politician, he managed to win over many who wanted an alternative to the Democrats, but his socially liberal positions, as well as him being a homosexual, harmed him with traditional Republican electorate and he fell way short.

After Parrotstein's upset in Iowa, intel on Peebleton revealing she had a sex change causes her polling to skyrocket in New Hampshire - angry women acknowledged her as one of their own, and angry men believed her to be a man infiltrating the inferior gender. Sadly, this caused her to falter everywhere else, winning only her home state afterwards.
