Gov. Jerry of Arkansas and Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee (Republican)
Former Lt. Gov. Goldwater of Washington and Kristin Davis of New York (Libertarian/Anti-Prohibition)
Gov. Scott of Connecticut and Former Governor Phil Bredesen of Tennessee (Democratic)
Sen. Nix of New York and Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez of California (Independence)

The Democratic Party splits in the primary campaign between Senator Nix of New York and Governor Scott of Connecticut. Scott, however, manages to rally the left to his side and wins the nomination, but Nix announces his own bid as an independent.

On the Republican side, Governor Jerry wins the nomination pretty easily. Former Washington Lt. Governor and former Republican Goldwater wins the libertarian and anti-prohibition nominations and runs to Jerry's right, picking up some dissatisfied with the Governor's moderation on fiscal and social policy matters.

Ultimately Jerry wins 377-160-1 with only 41% of the vote.

Centrist Democrats, upset with the path that President Nix (D-NY) has charted in his first term, funnel money and support behind an insurgent candidacy by former Senator Scott of Connecticut, a centrist 'New Democrat' that manages to overwhelm and defeat the incumbent President at the Democratic convention in Nashville. Decrying his denial of renomination a plot by 'big business, polluters, and the political right', Nix makes it known that he will seek the nomination of the Green Party for the White House, a nomination he easily wins owing to his very 'green' record in the White House. In addition, Nix begins removing key Democratic operatives from his cabinet who don't support the administration, issues an executive order banning fracking, and goes after the tax incentives for gas and oil companies.

On the Republican side, Washington Governor Goldwater wins the nomination easily without much of a contest. A controversial former sheriff of a small Florida town, Jack Enderman, wins the Libertarian nomination for President and runs a quixotic campaign that quickly becomes an internet sensation.

Former Senator Scott (D-CT) / Phil Bredesen (D-TN) - 12 (23.2% of the PV)
President Averroes Nix (G-NY) / Vice President Bruce Braley (D-IA) - 124 (36% of the PV)
Governor Goldwater (R-WA) / Governor John Kasich (R-OH) - 402 (39.8% of the PV)
Jack Enderman (Lib-FL) / Jimmy McMillan (Lib-NY) - 0 (1% of the PV)

In the end, the split on the left helps Goldwater defeat Nix and Scott both. The Republicans hold the House (but the Greens pick up a record number of seats), gain the Senate (again, the Greens pick up seats here), and give Goldwater a free hand in enacting his agenda. His first executive order rescinds Nix's ban on fracking and with the help of House Speaker Supersonic (R-TN), he begins dismantling recently enacted Nixian legislation.

1852

The Democratic National Convention splits over the Compromise of 1850, with Northern-aligned Democrats backing the candidacy of Senator Goldwater of Delaware, a moderate and supporter of 'Popular Sovereignty' to decide the fate of slavery in the new territories. Southern Democrats, upset with their apparent loss of power within the party and unwilling to support even the possibility of losing control of the party to Free Soilers via Popular Sovereignty, draft former Attorney General Maxwell of Tennessee on a 'Southern Rights' ticket.

The Whig Party, in internal disarray and falling apart over the Compromise of 1850, decides that rather than renominate President Fillmore, it will instead support the candidacy of former Senator Malcolm X. X thus becomes the first major party Jewish nominee for President.

The Free Soilers, unable to stomach a vote for the reactionary Democrats or Whigs, support the candidacy of Governor and former evangelist Scott of Connecticut, who proposes blocking the expansion of slavery to the territories so that it might die out peacefully.

Fmr. Sen. Malcolm X (Whig-Ohio) 106
Sen. Goldwater (Democratic-Del.) 93
Gov. Scott (Free Soil-Conn.) 50
Fmr. Atty. Gen. Maxwell (Southern Rights-Tenn.) 47

The election goes to the House, which elects Goldwater.

U.S. presidential election, 2016

The Democratic Party presidential primaries, between Gov. L.D. Smith of Virginia, Sen. Antonio "Tony" Valentino of California, and Rep. Alexandra Person of Illinois were brutal. Smith attacked Valentino and Person of being 'radical social liberals', Valentino and Person attacked Smith for being a 'closet reactionary', Person attacked Valentino for being insufficiently progressive on social issues, and Valentino attacked Person for being 'too focused on social issues.' At the end of the day, no candidate had enough delegates to secure the nomination. Smith and his delegates walked out of the convention, followed by Person and her delegates. Valentino won the nomination even as his primary season opponents declared their own independent campaigns against him and against the Republican opponent, Gov. Richard Fayette of New Jersey.

Governor Richard "Dick" Fayette of New Jersey (Republican Party): 35% of the popular vote / 253 electoral votes
Senator Antonio "Tony" Valentino of California (Democratic Party): 28% of the popular vote / 173 electoral votes
Governor Louis David "L.D." Smith of Virginia (Independent): 23% of the popular vote / 112 electoral votes
Congresswoman Alexandra Person of Illinois (Progressive): 3% of the popular vote / 0 electoral votes

The election is thrown to the House of Representatives, wherein conservative Democrats (the key backers of Smith) made a deal with moderate Republicans to elect Fayette in return for support on a few key issues, most of which have to do with socially conservative causes that Smith supports.
