Talk Elections

Hello Atlas Forum! I've not been at my best IRL lately, as my heart has been recently broken, so I'm taking a little of a break from "Satellite - A Political Story", my current timeline. Just in case you haven't read "Satellite", here's the link to its prologue and updates:

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=187922.0

So, what's the drill now? A three-way presidential race in the form of an Election Night. Only a simple one, without too much details. Just the times and respective projections. For a bonus, it'll include two vicepresidential candidates for every presidential ticket, like we do it in my RL home country, Peru.

So, here's the candidates:

Democratic:
President: Mike Beebe (AR)
1st Vicepresident: Al Gore (TN)
2nd Vicepresident: Joe Manchin (WV)

Republican:
President: Jeb Bush (FL)
1st Vicepresident: Chris Christie (NJ)
2nd Vicepresident: Brian Sandoval (NV)

Independent:
President: Altsomn Stmarken (TX)
1st Vicepresident: Emily Martinez (CA)
2nd Vicepresident: Elizabeth Smith (ME)

Hope you enjoy it!!

P.S.: Just to make it a little easier, I'll omit the District rules of Maine and Nebraska.

I have a couple questions.

1. What is Altsomn's platform? Green Party?

2. How is he/she able to make inroads with Republican states like Indiana and in the west while also winning the Northeast?

I think I'm looking too into this anyways.

1. It's mostly a moderate/practical/centrist platform. It could be defined as "radical centrist".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_center_%28politics%29

2. Both New England and the West have a big recent history of third-candidate voting. And when a strong third candidate appears, most people don't look too much at the platform; it's more about "protest voting". And these are the places were protest voting is stronger, and so is HE.

Hope I explain myself well ^^

Alright, I think I understand (a little.) So it's just unlikely is what I'm getting at. Personally, I'm just said that Beebe is going to lose because I like him :(

Well, imagine how a Bush fan must be feeling! Most of the Mountains with Stmarken and many Southern states with Beebe.
