The Campaign Trail: Post Your Maps!

Got this 377-161 win with Romney. It was a short, 13 question game with Pawlenty as my running mate. I ran mostly center-left on the issues, supporting eventual expiration of the Bush tax cuts and civil unions. I don't remember most of the details but I got into about the 99.6th percentile.

Wallace the Puppetmaster

Fmr. VP Richard Nixon (R-NY)/ Governor Spiro Agnew (R-MD): 257 EVs - 42.85% (31,362,942)
VP Hubert Humphrey (D-MN)/ Governor Edmund Muskie (D-ME): 217 EVs - 43.00% (31,471,977)
Governor George Wallace (AI-AL)/ Senator Strom Thurmond (R-SC): 64 EVs - 14.14% (10,349,547)

Played Wallace and got my best result ever, managed to deadlock the EC by stealing SC and TN at the last minute and giving IL to Humphrey. Got 99.5th percentile, which is pretty nice.

Fmr. Governor William McKinley (R-OH)/ Speaker of the House Thomas B. Reed (R-ME): 313 EVs - 53.04% (7,413,288)
Fmr. Representative William Jennings Bryan (D-NE)/ Mr. Arthur Sewall (D-ME): 134 EVs - 45.95% (6,421,670)
Fmr. Senator John Palmer (ND-IL)/ Fmr. Governor Simon B. Buckner 64 EVs (ND-KY): 0 EVS - 1.02% (141,899)

Decided to go on Campaign Trail again after taking a break. I tried 1896 a couple of times. The first two were absolute failures, getting in the 27.7th percentile both times. The next time no results showed up. Getting pissed, I blew through a 13 question game hoping not to fail this time.

I got 44th.

I didn't, actually. You'd have to be in the 10th percentile or below to lose. I did about as well as IRL except I lost Kentucky (extremely narrowly both times). Both times I would be leading in the Dakotas and West Coast with Missouri, Kansas and Virginia as tossups, then collapse at the last minute leaving me with a relatively poor result.

You don't just have to be not-stupid to win as McKinley. You only lose if you legitimately try to.

Heh.

President Barack Obama (D-IL) / Vice President Joe Biden (D-DE) - 4 EVs (38%; 48,571,962)
Fmr. Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) / Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI) - 534 EVs (60.7%; 77,555,125)

I advocated for the repeal of Obamacare, the removal of Eric Holder as Attorney General, and the defunding of Social Security in its entirety. I only campaigned in Missouri, Utah and Washington D.C. (which I still got 82% of the vote in). Yet somehow I managed to keep one of Maine's districts (it appears that Maine and Nebraska split votes now, not sure if this was the case before). Closest state was Hawaii, which I lost 51-46.

Bryan does the impossible!
The Great Commoner wins in a squeaker (on Impossible difficulty), edging out his opponent in crucial swing states Indiana and North Dakota while losing California by just 400 votes!

Former Gov. William McKinley (R-OH)/ Former President of the New Jersey Senate Garret Hobart (R-NJ): 222 EVs, 48.3% PV (6,686,631)
√ Former Rep. William Jennings Bryan (D-NE)/ Former Gov. Horace Boies (D-IA): 225 EVs, 50.7% PV (7,021,734)
Senator John Palmer (ND-IL)/Former Gov. Simon Buckner (ND-KY): 0 EVs, 1.0% PV (134,138)

Trump/Carson - 293 EV, 62,609,777 (48.3%)
Clinton/??? - 245 EV, 63,622,659 (49.1%)

Just got this exact map, actually. Lost Michigan 49.3-49.0 though.
