Louis Dalrymple Smith (D-VA)
Radderford Pryor (R-OH)
Clark Kent (I-CT)
Daniel Leinad (L-GA)After a major split in the GOP, Clark Kent decides to run as a John Anderson-esque Independent candidate. He does well for an Independent, winning his home state of Connecticut, as well as the elastic northeastern states of Vermont and New Hampshire after campaigning a message of change and non-corruption compared to the establishment backings of Smith and Pryor. He also surprisingly wins Florida due to the other candidates splitting the vote.
However, he does cause a major divide in the GOP vote itself (with Kent taking the moderates and Pryor taking the conservatives), letting Smith easily win most states. Pryor only wins the most conservative states, as well as many in the northwest due to Leinad's libertarianism subtracting votes from the other candidates.
Leinad also does very well, winning one of Maine's congressional districts, North Dakota, and Alaska.
