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

We will need five "I'm interested" posts and then the sixth person can make our first map.

Old school election sees conservative Democratic governor MilesC56 win the outer South and Rust Belt to take the control of the election over Republican senator Cathcon and Independent congressman Republitarian, who wins only Alaska running as a historically strong third party candidate.



Miles/Nix (D) - 304 EV
Cathcon/SuperSonic (R) - 231 EV
Republitarian/Morgan (I) - 3 EV

Governor Nix/Senator Goldwater- 341 EV and 44.3% PV
Senator Miles/Senator Realisticidealist- 21 EV and 18.9% PV
Secretary of State Cathcon/Representative Supersonic- 176 EV and 35.6% PV




Governor Nix barely wins the primary over Senator Miles. The primary takes a libertarian vs. populist turn, and Nix doubles down by selecting Goldwater as a runningmate. Senator Miles, angry with the Democratic ticket, walks out of the convention with supporters behind him and announces an Independent bid with a socially conservative and economically left wing platform that attempts to attract Southern whites and working class voters. The Republicans counter by nominating the likable Secretary of State Cathcon, but with his success in foreign policy, he loses some of the social conservative vote to Miles.

Nix successfully portrays himself as a moderate Democrat and attacks the Republican ticket as too right wing. The attacks are a success, with Senator Miles support mostly concentrated in formerly Democratic states that are typically Republican now.

Connecticut Senator Napoleon and MilesC56 form a kind of Kennedy/Johnson-esque ticket.

Millard "Mitt" Cathcon of Michigan wins the Republican nomination, and picks Tea Party hero Goldwater Republican as his running-mate.  While realisticidealist of Washington and Governor Townsend of Nevada form an independent spoiler ticket.

Radical anarchist wins Democratic primary (lol), prompting a successful third party candidacy with a pair of populist Democrats on the ticket. Libertarians gain control of the Republican Party. Voted most implausible election by the Class of 1993.

This year's Democratic primary is controlled by Democrats from the South and Rust Belt, who select economically liberal, socially conservative Senator Miles, who as his running mate selects independent Governor of Washington RealisticIdealist to reenforce his message. The Republicans are taken over by conventioners called 'Townsendbots', who vote their candidate onto their ticket at the convention. Townsend, a registered independent and Representative of Nevada's 2nd District, selects Governor Napoleon of Connecticut as his running mate. Meanwhile, the Greens get their act together enough to select Mayor of Newark Funk, who promptly ensures his ticket is unsuccessful by selecting political activist Morgan.



Miles/RealisticIdealist: 314
NVTownsend/Napoleon: 210
Funk/Morgan: 14

In one of the most quixotic elections ever, Funk clinches the Democratic nomination as a compromise candidate in a very divided party. In order to please the radical wing, he picks Morgan, a revolutionary socialist, as his running mate. However, this move upset a large chunk of the democratic party, resulting in moderate democrat Townsend to leave the party and run as an independent candidates. He picks the independent comunitarian activist Realisticidealist as his running mate, forming an original combination of left-libertarianist and left-populism which attracts many moderates. The Libertarian party finds a great candidate in SJoyce, who brings the party to new polling heights. He manages to pick another dissident democrat, Napoleon, as his running mate and puts up a serious fight with the independent ticket. The GOP, unable to field its own candidate, is split between the independent and libertarian tickets. The democratic campaign further sinks when embarrassing revelations are leaked concerning VP candidate Morgan's past. With many moderate democrats jumping on the bandwagon, the Independent ticket clearly emerges ahead of the ballot.



NVTownsend/Realisticidealist (I) : 37%, 269 EVs
SJoyce/Napoleon (L) : 34%, 127 EVs
Funk/Morgan (D) : 29%, 139 EVs

When the Electoral College meets, a couple of faithless electors from the Dem ticket allows Townsend to win without going to the House (where he would probably have won anyways).

Gov. Napoleon of CT wins the Democratic nomination, selects Independent Gov. Townsend of NV,  and campaigns as a reform-minded pro-growth liberal.  Sen. Antonio of RI wins the Green Party nomination with formerly Democratic Gov. Funk as his VP, and draws a coalition of support from voters who see the Democratic ticket as either not economically progressive enough, or too radical on social issues and weak on national security.  The Libertarian Party nominates Rep. SJoyce of FL and Berkeley Mayor Morgan as his VP - while the ticket is stronger on social than economic libertarianism, they manage to gain support from many conservative parts of the country through appeals to localism.



Rep. Sjoyce (FL) / Mayor Morgan (CA)   235

Sen. Antonio (RI) / Gov. Funk  186 (NJ)
Gov. Napoleon (CT) / Gov. Townsend (NV)  117

With no electoral majority, the House of Representatives elects Rep. SJoyce as President, and the Senate elects Gov. Funk as Vice President.

In the GOP primary, Shua clinches the nomination and selects Independent Governor Realistic of Washington to form a ticket that appealed to both moderates and progressives. Antonio clinched the Democratic nomination, and chose Funk as his running mate. The ticket was seen as progressive. Sjoyce runs as a third party, and chooses FallenMorgan in an attempt to create a unity ticket.

Shua/Realistic lead from the getgo, as the other tickets are both labeled as extreme. He wins easily on Election night.

Shua/Realistic: 54% Popular Vote
Antonio/Funk: 34% Popular Vote
SjoyceFLA/FallenMorgan: 10% Popular Vote

SjoyceFLA/FallenMorgan: 10% Popular Vote

This would be the most confused ticket ever. Either I would convert to some form of socialism or I'd just put the VP somewhere far far away from anywhere he could do damage. I'm thinking northern Alaska.

Governor Tmthforu94 (R-IN)/Senator Shua gm (R-VA): 464: 48.6%
Senator Funk (D-NJ)/Mayor FallenMorgan (D-CA): 60: 29.1%
Senator Sjoyce (I-FL)/Governor Antonio V (I-CA): 14: 21.0%

Senator Funk wins the Democratic primaries. However, he makes a poor decision by picking thoroughly unvetted Mayor FallenMorgan of San Francisco as his running mate. Meanwhile, a moderate GOP ticket emerges of Governor Tmthforu and Senator Shua. Independent Senator Sjoyce of Florida announces a long expected third party bid for the Presidency, running on a socially liberal and isolationist platform. He convinces popular Democratic Governor Antonio of California to be his veep. This ticket manages to peel away many core Democratic supporters, particularly amongst the younger demographics. The GOP builds a solid opinion poll lead, with a relatively solid base of support. However a few Paulites defect, due to the more libertarian positions of Senator Sjoyce. Massive vote splitting between the Democrats and Independents leads to a massive landslide victory for the GOP.

The very right-wing Senator Rhodie (R-MS) grasps the Republican nomination after a protracted fight which deeply divided the party. While he picked the more consensual moderately conservative Senator tmth (R-IN), this was not enough to prevent the hero of the party's libertarian base, young Rep. SJoyce (R-FL) to split dramatically from the party and run with Governor shua (R-VA) on a libertarian platform, opposing the social conservatism of the GOP ticket but also the very left-wing Democratic ticket, formed by Senator Antonio V (D-VT) and Governor Funk (D-NJ).

The election is bloody, but the division of the right allows the Democratic ticket to win a large victory even if their popular vote tally is hardly convincing. The third party centre-right libertarian ticket wins 22% of the vote, but only 9 EVs even if they placed second to the Democrats in most of the Northeast and the Pacific.



Senator Antonio V (D-VT)/Governor Funk (D-NJ) 44% of the vote, 369 EV
Senator Rhodie (R-MS)/Senator tmth (R-IN) 33% of the vote, 160 EV
Rep. SJoyce (I-FL)/Governor shua (I-VA) 22% of the vote, 9 EV

Senator tmthforu94 (R-IN)/Senator Rhodie (R-MS), 309 EV's
Senator Hashemite (D-VT)/Senator Antonio V (D-CA), 201 EV's
Governor shua (R-VA)/Rep. sjoycefla (D-FL), 28 EV's

To protest against the two-party system, shua and sjoycefla form a libertarian minded ticket. Hashemite, to get the vote of populist minded Democrats, picks Antonio V, whereas tmthforu94 picks Rhodie to appeal to conservatives. In the end, tmth's midwestern strength is enough to win.

Tmthforu94, in spite of his controversial running mate pick, wins thanks to a liberal split in the popular vote.

Tmthforu94/Rhodie - 298 EVs, 43% PV
Napoleon/Morgieb - 191 EVs, 41% PV

Governor Rhodie (R-AL) - Senator 20RP12 (R-PA) : 273
President Scott (D-VA) - Vice President Napoleon (D-CT) : 265
Congressman Hashemite (D-PA) - Activist Morgieb (D-OH) : 0


President Scott's administration presides over a period of profound economic growth leading to the first budget surplus since the Clinton era. With a roaring economy, high approval ratings and peace abroad, Scott looks set to leave office at the end of his term as one of the 'great' Presidents. However, a proposal by a Democratic Congressman to repeal the 22nd Amendment gains traction in the Democratic Party wishing to see President Scott continue in office. Eventually the process succeeds due to Republicans wishing to see popular former President Tmthforu94, who they believe is their only chance of reclaiming the White House, run for office again.

However, former President Tmthforu dies before he is able to announce his re-election bid. The GOP, stunned, essentially sit the election out due to Scott's popularity, allowing Governor Rhodie of Alabama to win the nomination. With a roll call VP vote at the Convention in Mobile, libertarian 20RP12, Senator from Pennsylvania, joins the ticket.

After this, President Scott's fortunes begin to falter as Congressman Hashemite upset by the administrations 'centre-right' economics, announces a independent run for the Presidency. Left wing liberals are excited and feeling Scott is the inevitable winner of the election anyway decide to defect his campaign. More do so when anti-poverty activist Morgieb joins the ticket.

On September 4th, seven days after the DNC, the stock market plummets unexpectedly shocking the nation. Despite attempts to stall the collapsing market, the nations newspapers declare "WALL STREET CRASH 2.0!", which only adds to the panic. Congressman Hashemite uses this to viciously attack the President, wounding him greatly. While Governor Rhodie is able to galvanise Republicans against the Democratic ticket.

Despite Scott's poll numbers falling steadily, he almost manages to hold on to the Oval Office, an example of his remaining popularity; however Hashemite's insurgency steals enough Democrats in the swing states (a-la Nader) to cost Scott the election, and thus the chance of a historic third term. Senator 20RP12's inclusion on the GOP ticket is also a significant plus in Pennsylvania.

The Republican ticket wins a large electoral victory due to a split on the Left.  The Democrats hold onto the support of unions and blacks, but the Independent ticket is strongly competitive in the Northeast and West.



Sen. Supersonic (R-ND) / Gov. 20RP12 (R-NJ)  459   45%

Gov. Scott (D-CT) / Gov. Morgeib (D-IL)            67   34%
Sen. Hashemite (I-VT) / Sen. Napoleon (I-CT)    12   21%

Dem nominee Morgieb tries to counter his perceived radicalism by nominating Scott as his running mate. The GOP candidate Supersonic is faced with a strong challenge by an unusually strong libertarian candidacy, with candidate Jake Matthews being able to extend beyond the traditional libertarian core by nominating Napoleon. Eventually, vote split allows the D ticket to win. The libertarian ticket is extremely successful, but the voting system doesn't allow it to make a difference in the electoral college.



Morgieb/Scott (D) : 42%, 366 EVs
Supersonic/Shua (R) : 35%, 155 EVs
Jake/Napoleon (L) : 23%, 17 EVs

The Democratic primary is a bitter race between left-wing California Senator Antonio & moderate Connecticut Governor Scott. Scott narrowly wins the primary & chooses 20RP12, a libertarian leaning Independent from Pennsylvania, as his running mate. This angers Antonio enough that he decides to run a third party ticket and chooses former Connecticut Governor Napoleon as his running mate in order try to steal votes from Scott. Meanwhile, on the Republican side conservative South Carolina Governor Supersonic easily wins the primary & chooses Shua, a libertarian leaning Republican Senator from Virginia, as his running mate. Due to vote splitting, the election ends up being a Republican landslide.



Governor Supersonic (R-SC)/Senator Shua (R-VA) - 337 EVs
Governor Scott (D-CT)/Senator 20RP12 (I-PA) - 132 EVs
Senator Antonio (D-CA)/Former Governor Napoleon (D-CT) - 69 EVs

(FTR, the next matchup has to include me, Antonio, Shua, Supersonic, 20RP12, & Scott.)
