2008 Presidential Election

Goldwater/Mitch Daniels: 239 (46.3% of the popular vote)
Windjammer/Chuck Schumer: 299 (50.1% of the popular vote)

Outgoing president George W. Bush will leave office as one of the most unpopular in history, following an economic downturn. While the election always leaned Democratic, it is surprising the margin tightened in the last two weeks. Windjammer, an establishment Democrat who is somewhat of a social conservative, upset and defeated Barack Obama in the primaries. Many progressive liberals were unhappy, but many still voted for him. Goldwater is a libertarian-leaning Republican who ran on a very fiscally conservative platform, de-emphasizing any social issues, and a strong America abroad.

With the result, Goldwater had unparamount strength in the West (especially) and Great Plains, even carrying Oregon and his home state of Washington by a stunning 8 points, while only losing California by 7. However, Windjammer did have unusually good strength in the south, especially the southeast, where he historically and stunningly won SC by less than 1%. He won West Virginia by 6 points, and lost Kentucky and Arkansas by similar margins. While many New Englanders weren't happy with Windjammer, they still picked him pretty overwhelmingly. Overall, it was a wash of regional over performances and under performances. Windjammer's win can be attributed to Goldwater's under-investment in southeastern states, like Georgia, Virginia, and Florida.

Ultimately this was a battle between who could out-libertarian who for a long-time....until foreign policy came to head. Non-interventionist ElectionsGuy claimed that the country had been through too many wars and that too many civil liberties had been quashed  in pursuit of winning "the war of the week". Goldwater much like his namesake wanted terrorists fought at all costs,lest they win and no one to help the country in the end.

Naturally this meant that traditionally social liberal or very rural states and areas favored ElectionsGuy, while places with more infrastructure that sought to benefit from anything to protect international trade or had heavy military presence favored Goldwater.

Ultimately Goldwater came through by a "law-and-order" theme where foreign policy is concerned.

Governor L.D. Smith of Virginia/Senator Bob Casey, Jr. of Pennsylvania (Democratic Party): 535 electoral votes
State Representative TNF of Illinois/City Council Member Kshama Sawant of Washington: 3 electoral votes

This is if L.D. Smith and TNF are the only ballot options; I'm sure there would be a major conservative third party candidacy otherwise.

Polarization reaches the final conclusion: Atheist Socialism vs Conservative Christian Populism. Naturally this throws out the Moderate Sell-out parties in the eyes of the people.

In the end it comes down to Governor Thomas A. Schafly of New Jersey (Constitution) and Senator T. Nolan Fitzgerald of Illinois



Governor Thomas Schafly (C-NJ)/ Jim Clymer (C-PA): 275 EV, 49.5% PV
Senator T. Nolan Fitzergald (S-IL)/ Marsha Feinland (P&F -CA): 263 EV, 49.2% PV

In spite of a libertarian/liberal truce in the name of trying to stop a theocracy, ultimately Govenor Schafly managed to appeal to enough of Appalachia to clinch Pennsylvania and also retook Iowa...negating all Socialist gains in otherwise conservative places such as Montana, the Dakotas, or Nebraska.

1976
Senator L.D. Smith (D-VA) / Senator Walter Mondale (D-MN) 53% 380EV
Senator Thomas S.N.J (R-NJ) / Congressman John Schmitz (R-CA) 43% 158EV

With president Ford's popularity waning, the staunch conservative Thomas S.N.J. challenges him in the republican primary, stressing a return to morality after the fall of Nixon and opposition to the turbulent social movements of the 1960's and 1970's. His mobilization of the religious right lead to a tsunami in the primary and the shocking defeat of president Ford, to the dismay of establishment and moderate republicans.
With the spectre of Watergate and a candidate who seemed to many as reactionary, it was an ideal time for the Democrats to retake the White House. They nominated L.D. Smith of Virginia, who could advocate for staunchly progressive economic policy without coming off as the candidate of acid and abortions as McGovern had. While Democrats feared that Mormonism would overshadow Smith's qualities, during the campaign he downplayed his religious differences and emphasized how he shared the values of most Americans.
The defection of moderate Republicans allowed him to sweep the Northern states and most of the West, giving him a clear victory. Despite being a populist representing a southern state, his religious differences and the fact that he was a transplant limited his appeal to southern whites.

This is a very interesting race between a mainstream (slightly more socially conservative), but Mormon Democrat... and a Libertarian Republican without a base in any of the traditionally powerful GOP factions. There will be some cross-over in safer Democratic states with social liberals voting for Goldwater and moderate GOPers in states like MO, IN etc voting for Morm over Goldwater.

Goldwater picks up most of the GOP territory due to the (R) next to his name and a likely Southern conservative running-mate. But MormDem has a natural advantage and pretty much runs the table of the toss-up states. A slightly depressed right-wing base reduces turnout. There was a strong right wing third party candidate in some random states.

Senator L. D. Smith (D-VA) 382EV - 53.9%
Rep. Goldwater (R-WA) 156EV - 44.3%
Others - 0EV - 1.8%

This election sees a left-leaning Democrat face off against the more Libertarian Republican.  The Democrats were near victory, but the leftism of the Democratic candidate swung Ohio Republican, while Washington, very closely went for the Republican.

Senator Polnut wins the Democratic Primary with ease. The Republican Party is fractured and with a divided convention, they fail to nominate a candidate. MormonDem sees this as a perfect opportunity to run for president with a moderate,pragmatic and populist message. The election is with an establishment, liberal democrat and an independent with a populist message.

Election Results:



MormonDem (I) - 51.7%- 276 EV
Senator Polnut (D)- 46.9%-  262 EV

2004
When people said "9/11 changed everything", they were right. President Goldwater's War on Terror charged the political landscape, with the advent of the "national security voter". Goldwater's fiscal conservatism, hawkish foreign policy, and social liberalism created a foil in the populist campaign of Mr. Joseph Mormdem, a former Utah Representative who rallied a strange coalition of doves, labor, and Southerners to win the Democratic nomination. With Mormdem being smeared as an anti-Israel, anti-security isolationist, Goldwater was able to make gains in the North and even take New York in what pollsters called the "9/11 bump". While he won re-election, his chances were threatened by a successful campaign by Mormdem to bring in traditionally Republican voters in the South and West. Election gimmicks such as Goldwater's proposal to legalize gay marriage and Mormdem's claim that he would seek to overturn Roe v. Wade were able to shift social issues voters from their typical parties, radically changing the electoral map.

President Barry M. Goldwater, III (R-AZ)/Vice President Thomas Ridge (R-PA) 287 electoral votes
Former Congressman Mr. Joseph Mormdem (D-UT)/Senator John Edwards (D-NC) 251 electoral votes

I'm trying to bring these threads back, but I just can't figure out how this election should go. If anything, Shua and TN Volunteer should be on the same ticket. Tongue

Hmmm...I'll give it a go:

2016 General Election: Everything In Moderation

Background:

Republicans:
With faltering campaigns for Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, John Kasich, and Rand Paul, both the moderate wing and the libertarian wing were open for independently-minded Virginia Governor James Shua. Governor Shua had the endorsements of Kasich and Paul, which led to him winning the New Hampshire primary. At Super Tuesday he won 8 states, becoming the front-runner. After sweeping the March 15 Super 2sday primaries he was virtually declared the nominee-elect.

Democrats:
Independent Representative T. N. Volunteer decided to run as a moderate, populist Democrat, and after finishing a close third in Iowa won an upset victory in New Hampshire, due to a surprising turnout of angry women in his favor. He combined his independent appeal with his Southern appeal to win big on Super Tuesday, shutting out Hillary Clinton, who dropped out and endorsed him. Representative Volunteer never lost a state after that point.

The Election:



Governor James Shua/Governor John Kasich - 271 EVs - 47.87%
Representative T. N. Volunteer/Secretary Hillary Clinton - 267 EVs - 48.38%
Senator Bernie Sanders/Dr. Jill Stein - 0 EVs - 2.74%

Governor Shua ran a moderate yet somewhat libertarian campaign, winning voters in the west and northeast but losing conservative voters in the south due to Volunteer's populist campaign. However, he was still able to win in Virginia, due to the fact it's his home state. Volunteer failed to win his home state of Tennessee, and narrowly lost both New Hampshire and Florida, therefore losing the electoral vote despite narrowly winning the popular vote. Insurgent independent-turn-Green-partier Bernie Sanders was considered a factor in this loss.

Governor T. N. Volunteer/Governor Steve Bullock - 402 EVs - 50.64%
Governor Leinad Daniels/Representative Peter King - 136 EVs - 33.19%
Senator Ted Cruz/Representative Jody Hice - 0 EVs - 13.88%

Governor Leinad of Georgia, winning the nomination after a tough primary, named New York Representative Peter King as his running mate, as an olive branch to the establishment. Meanwhile, Tennessee Governor T.N. Volunteer meanwhile named fellow Governor Steve Bullock as his running mate, and ran a populist campaign, with a concession to the base here and there. Ted Cruz, the runner up to the nomination, was unhappy at not having won, and was doubly angry when Peter King was named VP candidate. He thus ran as an Independent, siphoning votes away from the Republican ticket. He won the support of many tea-partiers, many of whom thought Leinad had done a corrupt bargain of sorts with the establishment, and were never that thrilled with him in the first place.
On Election Day, it was a landslide for the Democratic ticket. Ted Cruz' candidacy was a boon to Democrats, managing to take enough votes away from Leinad to cost him Texas, Indiana, even Leinad's home state of Georgia, which voted Democratic by more than 4 points (it did not help that Cruz's running mate was from the Peach State). Vote splitting allowed T.N. Volunteer to carry his home state of Tennessee, which had not voted Democratic in 20 years. All in all, the election saw the best performance for a Democrat in the Electoral College since 1964, beating Obama and Clinton's two landslides.
The Democratic ticket was even able to win a majority of the vote, a suprising accomplishment in a three way race.
