THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL

Congratulations! You have won the 1976 Presidential Election.
http://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/34576

Hopefully you can make good on your promises to clean up Washington and change the political and moral culture of the country. If you are successful, there is no reason you cannot run for reelection in 1980. Just be wary of any economic problems, or of some foreign policy crisis that could dent your popularity.

I get the sense that 1976 isn't balanced quite right.

Former VP Nixon/Gov. Spiro Agnew 283 Electoral Votes43.0%
VP Hubert Humphrey/Sen. Edmund Muskie 191 Electoral Votes42.4%
Gov. George Wallace/Sen Strom Thurmond 64 Electoral Votes14.6%


Played as Wallace, closest state was Missouri, decided by 162 votes

Nixon on normal; wish I had campaigned more in Texas.

Romney on normal; Pennsylvania was sad

Are you ever so close yet so far? (270 Bush-268 Gore)

I think my biggest problem was not hitting Bush on the DUI.

Does anybody here know how to get >5% with Nader on Normal? If they could show me a game where they did so, I'd really appreciate it.

I wonder if it's possible to win a state as him. If I was a third party candidate, I would rather win a state than 5% nationally.

Not sure if it's possible to win as Nader, but I know it's possible to get Nader to win DC by playing as Gore and intentionally screwing up really badly.

Funny that it would've taken only 1.5 more percent in New York and Louisiana to make it 500+ EVS for Ford, and yet Carter loosing the popular vote by a percent nationwide. Electoral College FTW

Carter/Jackson on Easy:

I'd love to see a McGovern v. Nixon election ITTL's '72.

Normal:

321 - 217

[Kingpoleon]

I love that they are adding new years finally!!! I wonder if a 3rd new year is forthcoming...

I'd like to play 1980 as John B. Anderson and 1992 as Ross Perot. Nader being allowed to run for Reform, Green, and Independent wouldn't be too bad either, as I wish he could have different running mates.

Well...

(Obama on Normal)

I think the 1968 scenario is bugged as Wallace. I played on easy and literally campaigned only in NC and SC to try to throw the election to the house. I took a hard line on Vietnam, Segregation and a moderate one on the Great Society. I tailored all my answers for the South perfectly, yet I can never manage to do much better than Wallace did historically. I can win SC, about half the time but cannot win NC. Nixon always wins the election.
