The New President Forever Results Thread

[King]

The old one is  lost in time, over 10 pages back (couldn't find it). So here is the new one....

Playing 2004/ George W. Bush



Kerry/Edwards: 277 EVs (48%)
Bush/Cheney: 261 EVs (47%)
Nader/Camejo: 0 EVs (3%)

I was leading in 48 states and made 56% in the polls up until the last week of the election, then Kerry released an amazing 25 point scandal that caused me to drop nearly 10% in the polls and tip the election to him 1 day before.

If 488 votes in Missouri would have gone for Bush instead of Kerry, Bush would have won.

Has anybody else ever gotten the result 50.0%-50.0% in a state and lose? That happened to me once in Virginia playing Reagan 1980 with Anderson and Clark off.

Too bad there isn't a recount feature.

When will there be primaries for Presidents Forever?

Sometime in Mid-August...80Soft be working on it.

It's tough to live in a state like Iowa, Democratic since 1988.

And they said Michael Dukakis didn't change the world...

Iowa has California Disease... After all those years a Republican stronghold...in 1992 it shifted course

Iowa looks like it's in the process of ridding itself of its "disease," can't say the same for California.

Yeah but Iowa has a mild case because it is just 7 EVs...California is 55...when California sneezes the whole country is sick...

1996:

Oliver North (R) vs. Bill Clinton (D) vs. Art Oliver (L)



Oliver North/Arlen Specter: 43% of the Popular Vote; 273 Electoral Votes

Bill Clinton/Al Gore: 43% of the Popular Vote; 265 Electoral Votes

Art Oliver/Harry Browne: 13% of the Popular Vote; o Electoral Votes

I played as Colonel Oliver North and Mayor Art Oliver. As North I barely won Oregon, which gave me the lead and i won Alaska giving me barely enough electoral votes to win. I beat Clinton by 72,159 votes out of the 109,882,413 votes cast!

As Art Oliver I almost won Vermont and D.C. A great success for the Libertarian Party to say the least.

and you still lost Iowa...

Sorry PB, I tried playing Bush and getting it...

PV was 61-39, my best state was Texas with 72.6%. I got 49.0% in Iowa.

[King]

I played the scenario someone created called: 2008 The Return of Clinton. With Clinton vs Bush, both able to run for a third term. I played Clinton/Lieberman against Bush/Rice
It was awesome! Clinton landslide. But I have good news for Brunsel: Bush won Iowa!! by 4 points.
Clinton 485 ev Bush 53 ev
PV: Clinton 56.7% Bush 43.3%
Closest states: well, actually there were no close states. The closest were: IN, ND and MI by approx. 2.5%
Best state for Clinton (bar DC) was ME - 67.3%
Best state for Bush was NE - 60.7%
I won Utah due to heavy advertising the last three days.
Bush made some silly things; he decided to spend a disproportionately amount of time in MI, which worked at the end for him, but only there.

Kentucky liked Clinton in 92 and 96...

A Kerry/Leadership ad 1 week for the Election in Dynasimn as Bush gives me a 20 point boost and Kerry a 20 point loss...I have gone as low as 29% in the polls  and win after a 1 week prior attack...

How do you do so well?

I run adds on the last two days of the election in every state.

I also just barnstorm. I never make speeches.

Strange, I do both (although I only do 1 day of ads, not 2)

Well if he did it both for Republican and Libertarian, and Libertarians take away Republican vote...it adds up.

[King]

This game is to much geared towards 2004 in the older scenarios. I played 1952 and the results were almost identical to 2000. Impossible for that to be true in 1952.

Yeah, the 1960 scenario has Georgia "Nixon Solid", when infact Georgia was Kennedy's Best State next to Rhode Island...

[King]

Playing Anderson 1980



Reagan/Bush: 322 EVs, 38% - 38,493,815

Anderson/Lucey: 160 EVs, 33% - 33,895,310

Carter/Mondale: 56 EVs, 27% - 27,746,469

If you have Dynasim on...turn it off...plus put an X next to Regionalism...
