Make a map of the above four posters as two tickets

[Yelnoc]

Rules
1. The previous four people who posted maps are to be considered (ignore this for the OP and next three posters)
2. Pair those four to create as logical a ticket as possible.
3. Post a map of the results.
4. Provide a description.

We will need three "I'm interested" posts and then the fourth guy can make our first map.

20RP12 triangulates from his libertarian roots during the primaries to get the Republican nomination.  In order to appease the base, he picks little-known Supersonic.  The move excites said base, but costs 20RP12 the support of moderates and a number of independents.

Fortunately for him, that lost support stays home rather than supporting his Democratic opponent.  JulioMadrid rides a wave of anti-establishment, anti-right wing backlash and becomes another successful dark horse Democratic nominee.  He picks Alfred, a freshman politician of more orthodox views in hopes of shoring up the blue dog base, but the geographically unbalanced ticket does nothing to help him and "mainstream" media easily paints Julio as an "out-of-touch liberal elitist."

Turnout on election day is near historic lows.  In the end, the Democrats pull of a victory, but a very narrow one; a number of their key victories are merely a percentage point away from flipping.

Shua easily cruises through the Republican primary.  He selects freshmen governor 20RP12 as his running mate to provide some geographical balance to the ticket.  There is some talk that the libertarian-leaning ticket might turn off some of the traditional Republican base, but the right-wing media machine is a well-oiled beast and easily turns the narrative away from the Republican ticket and torwards the Democratic nominee.

Napoleon had a much tougher time making it through his primary, with the decision coming down to the delegate tally at the convention.  Throughout the campaign trail he endured unfound allegations and abuse from his opponents and the press, which slowly whittled down his statesmen like demeanor to the point where he would not hesitate to throw mud.  His image coming out of the convention was that of a rough, coarse, and dirty politician.  To shift the narrative away from himself Napoleon selected an unheard of congressman named Solarstorm, who unfortunately did nothing to distract the press from Napoleon.

By November the election was a foregone conclusion.  The Democratic ticket lost all of it's rust-belt base along with the non-Pacific western states which had been trending D.

Shua/20RP12 397
Napoleon/Solarstorm 141

Let's reinstate the 'above 4 posters rule' since this thread seems to be back? The point was to get wacky combinations, after all.

Skip me, of course.

The revelation that Mayor TNF of Chicago is actually a Trotskyist sinks the Democratic ticket. Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota are within 1%.

Gov. Goldwater/Senator MadmanMotley 337 EVs
Senator MormonDem/Mayor TNF 201 EVs

Did you really use Canseco here?

And for the record, everyone, I'm a socialist, not some sort of milquetoast moderate.

2024

World War III has been raging for 9 months. The Democrats and Republicans put aside their differences to elect a unity ticket composed of MormonDem and Goldwater, to replace the out going president. The anti-war Socialist Unity ticket of TNF and Snowstalker is the highest vote-getting opposition ticket, netting 48% of the vote in the District of Colombia, but failing to win any electoral votes. The American public gives the unity ticket an overwhelming mandate to prosecute the war to its hellish end.

To the next poster: skip Alphamale. Only use people that posted a map in this thread.
