Jones wins the dem. nomination after an easy primary against Miles and decides to choose him as his VP. Tmth gets the nomination against the more conservative Keystone Phil and chooses mainstream republican SuperSonicVenue of NH as his running mate, in order to appeal to the conservative base and in states like NH and PA. Polls show a tight race, with Jones having a slim lead in GA, VA and NC (because of Miles popularity in the South) but Tmth ahead in the rust belt. PA, SC, LA, IA, MI, FL and CO are the closest states (SC being the closest).

Jones/Miles 50% 297 EVs
Isaac/SSV 48% 241 EVs

Moderate republican Shua, after a close primary against 2012RP and a teabagger, chooses 2012RP because he'd run as an independent if he wasn't given the VP position. Tea Party leaders reluctantly endorse him, but the ultraconservative base isn't too fond of him, and a majority of them stay at home on Election Day.
Alfred Jones, after an easier primary, decides to choose fellow Pennsylvania senator and close FezzyFestoon as his running mate. Conservadems in the south hate the ticket (a la Joe Manchin) and polls indicate that they're supporting Shua.
The campaign is really close, but manages to seem independent-minded, specially after the criticism he receives from TP leaders (independents think "hey, if the tea party doesn't like him it may be because he's a moderate guy).
Pennsylvania is the state to watch. The governor is GOP VP candidate and their senior (and favourite) senator is running as the dem VP.
Shua comfortably wins the election, but fails to carry PA:

Shua/2012RP 331 Evs 52%
Alfred/FezzyFestoon 207 EVs 46%
Constitution 1%
Others <1%

Democrats don't run a candidate, as Obama becomes the most unpopular president of the US History after his 2nd term (9/89 approvals), because of millions of scandals (he's Herman Cain 2.0) and the 16% unemployment. The crisis is still here in 2016, and worsened. Republicans aren't beloved by the people, either, so an independent movement surges, with Occupy, numerous independents and Libertarians gaining senate and house seats(and even the governorship of GA with Yelnoc) all around America in 2014.
Governor Yelnoc decides to run as an independent. Libertarians, who are polling 15% with a generic candidate, decide they'll give their support to the governor if he chooses a Libertarian VP. Senator JBrase from TX is the chosen one, in order to appeal to the Republican South.
SuperSonicVenue, senator from NC, easily wins the primaries, and decides to have PA governor 20RP12 as his VP nominee, because he can "steal" some Libertarian votes from Yelnoc.

Yelnoc wins the election easily, with the support of the left (the ones who used to vote demcorat), a majority of the now-powerful Libertarians and a majority of independents. SuperSonic underperforms polls, as polls indicate Yelnoc will win anyway and some traditional republicans refusing to vote for 20RP12, as they don't consider him a real republican.

Yelnoc (I-GA) / JBrase (L-TX) 56% 413 EVs
SuperSonic (R-NC) / 20RP12 (R-PA) 37% 125 EVs
Others 7%
