Bryan does the impossible!

I've noticed that even if I intentionally bombed Bryan's campaign, John Palmer's electoral support is still low.

2012

President Barack Obama (D-IL) / Vice President Joe Biden (D-DE) - 347 electoral votes; 66,498,294, 52.0%
Fmr. Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) / Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) - 191 Electoral Votes; 60,158,170, 47.1%

I played as Romney on normal difficultly.  My central theme was to attack Obama relentlessly on his performance while being just moderate enough on social issues like abortion and Planned Parenthood to court moderate voters.  Obviously, it didn't work and Obama was almost able to replicate his 2008 performance.  Closest states were Missouri, North Carolina and Indiana.

Yep; that's what I meant by "victory with honor".

Beat Romney by same margin as Obama did in OTL on hard.

IMPOSSIBLE: The Great Commoner Triumphs in '96!

In an election all the experts said was impossible for the Democrats to win, the so-called "Great Commoner", William Jennings Bryan, has done it. Fighting off attacks of radicalism by the McKinley campaign and the splinter, pro-gold National Democratic Party, Bryan and his running-mate, Vice President Adlai Stevenson, triumphed with two forty-three electoral votes and over seven million popular votes.

In the last week of the campaign, Bryan stormed the Midwest, and it paid off. While he failed to capture Vice President Stevenson's home state of Illinois, he did carry the states of Minnesota, Indiana, and Iowa, all of which proved critical to his victory; had any two voted against him, it would have meant certain doom for his campaign and prospects for the Presidency. In any event, this is the final electoral map:

√ Fmr. Nebraska Congress-man William Jennings Bryan (D-NE)/Vice Pres. Adlai Stevenson (D-IL): 243 Electoral Votes, 7,036,256 Popular Votes (50.6%)
Fmr. Ohio Gov. William McKinley (R-OH)/President of the New Jersey Senate Garret Hobart (R-NJ): 204 Electoral Votes, 6,728,317 Popular Votes (48.4%)
Sen. John Palmer (ND-IL)/Fmr. Kentucky Gov. Simon B. Buckner (ND-KY): 0 Electoral Votes, 136,069 Popular Votes (1.0%)

Kicked the crap out of Nixon on hard with Fred Harris as VP. Campaigned as a candidate who was definitively anti-war and centre-left on everything else.

Played as Romney/Portman

For each question, I selected the option that best aligned with my opinion on the issue.

Interestingly, I massively underperformed in the south, and I won states like Missouri, Tennessee, and etc. by very razor-thin margins.

Also, I overperformed in the northeast and other blue states, and Obama won states like New York, Delaware, and etc. by relatively close margins. Obama also failed to hit >60% in any state.

Closest states were Colorado, Nevada, New Hampshire,Iowa, Ohio, Florida, and Missouri.

Obama/Biden:  323 EV's
Romney/Portman: 215 EV's

[Illuminati Blood Drinker]

I'm just posting this for the PV difference:

Fmr. Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA)/Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH): 285 EVs, 64,307,733 PVs (49.6%)
Pres. Barack Obama (D-IL)/Vice Pres. Joe Biden (D-DE): 253 EVs, 64,292,738 PVs (49.5%)

14,995 votes, one of the closest PV victories in American history, second only to Garfield's 1,898-vote victory over Hancock in 1880.

[Potus]

Brought a tear to my eye:

Mitt Romney/Rob Portman: 353 EV's, 51.8%
Barack Obama/Joe Biden: 185 EV's, 48%

This is my absolute proudest map on Campaign Trail. I played this one on hard mode and am extremely satisfied with the result.
