You made Rhode Island closer than Florida?

What I don't get is how Romney would've won Oregon, Washington, Maine, and Delaware without also winning New Mexico, which was much closer IOTL.

It was mainly due to Gary Johnson being a spoiler. Obama won NM with around 48.5% of the vote.

[Sir Tiki]

1860: Douglas/Guthrie on easy.

https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/110160

No electoral college majority.

[Kingpoleon]

332: Dukakis/Gore(49.7%)
206: Bush/Quayle(48.8%)
Fulani/Other: 0.9%
Ron Paul: 0.6%

In my mind, Ford was Bush's running-mate while Bayh was mine.

[Intell]

https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/111274

Truman: 409 EV
Dewey: 94 EV
Thurmmond: 28 EV

Better than 98.5% of people.

[Sir Tiki]

I see the game now has the option of splitting up the electoral votes proportionally:

https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/111931

Played as Obama/Biden on normal and won the same states as real life 2012.

[Intell]

https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/112220

99.8 %, #4.

[Intell]

https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/112989

99.8 %, #3.

[YPestis25]

https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/113180

Barely eked out a win with Truman on impossible.

Wyoming put me over the top with less than half a percent margin of victory.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

The new proportional mode is great for those interested in deadlocking things with Nader or Wallace. Also allows you to deny Lincoln a majority in 1860 without having to win NY or OH.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Won with bush in proportional

[JackV982]

Did better than 100% of games on easy as Carter/Glenn
https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/114571

[Prince of Salem]

Played as Romney on Normal (Winner-take-all).

Mitt Romney (MA)/Rob Portman (OH): 50,15% (291 EV)
Barack Obama (IL)/Joe Biden (DE): 48,92% (247 EV)

[Oldiesfreak1854]

https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/132304

Played as Dewey/Stassen in 1948 and the election went to the House.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/132389

Won with Romney/Pawlenty 291-247.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Winning as Dukakis is much more easier, for me anyway. (Better than 90%)

I can't win with Bush on 1988.  That game is rigged (not to mention oversimplified).

[This account no longer in use.]

Almost managed to make the 272 freiwal happen. Alas, it was not destiny.

Barack Obama (D-IL)/Joe Biden (D-DE) - 285 EVs, 50.1%
Mitt Romney (R-MA)/Paul Ryan (R-WI) - 253 EVs, 49.0%

Closest states:

Virginia - .34%
Ohio - .73%
Florida - 1.05%
Iowa - 1.62%
New Hampshire - 1.81%
Colorado - 2.75%
Wisconsin - 2.76%
Pennsylvania - 2.92%
Minnesota - 4.19%
Michigan - 4.37%

Nevada - 5.12%
North Carolina - 6.01%
Missouri - 9.52%

Just attack Dukakis on everything  except Sodomy and you will crush him. I won 426-112 with Bush on hard

That margin is the same as IRL.  But that's my point.  They make it look like Bush only won because he went negative and attacked Dukakis on everything, and it wasn't that simple.

The economy was in great shape in 1988, and much better shape then it was in 1980, the evil Soviet Union was falling apart, and the future looked optimistic. Gore like Bush should have won easily in 2000 but he blew it.
