Wow. How'd you do it?

I just ran on a moderately independent platform taking a few independent ideas on private school vouchers for low-income families and the lockbox for Medicaid. I usually chose to run as my own man and run a positive, optimistic campaign. All I had to connect with Clinton on was the budget..

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 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.

Could someone link a victory for Ford/SOMETHING which wins AL & LA on Easy.

Libertarian - 0.6%
Green - 0.2%
Originally, Maine was called for Obama late in the night. The Romney campaign pursued a recount, which shifted ~3000 votes their way, granting them a margin of victory just over two thousand.

I'm hoping for 1960, 1980, 1992, and 2004/2008. An Obama-Dean ticket would be really fun.

I got within 5 hundredths of one percent of winning AL as Ford/Connally. If only I could figure out how to actually win the state:

http://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/48146

AL Results:

Candidate   Electoral Votes   Popular Votes   Pop. Vote %
---- Jimmy Carter   9   591,673   49.16
---- Gerald Ford   0   591,011   49.11
---- Other Candidates   0   20,879   1.73
---- Eugene McCarthy   0   0   0.00

You could change your first answer if Honesty is important to AL

[Kingpoleon]

Right wing Nader ends up with literally 0 votes. I guess Nader getting votes must have cost Gore Alabama, because he even won states like that.

Afte playing 1960 a few times, it seems Symington is the best choice for running-mate. He just gathers the coalition Kennedy wants.

Has anyone tried a hawkish slightly pro-CR very strongly pro-labor Kennedy with otherwise moderate hero stances? I think it might just work.

The next ones they should add:

1860
1876
1916
1948
1988
1992

I understand 1992 and 2008 are under consideration.

2008 as McCain would likely be harder than 1976 as Ford.

I'm not sure about that. Ford's pretty easy on East, but it's called that for a reason. I'm hoping for them making 2004, so I can play as Kerry-Dean. As far as 1992 goes, a Bush-Kemp or Clinton-Tsongas ticket would be pretty cool. I hope Perot can pick someone like Ron Paul or someone similar.

The thing I wish was possible in '76 is a Ford/Rockefeller ticket.

[Kingpoleon]

Has anyone done a pro-labor Ford campaign? Apparently it's the only way to win MN.

[Kingpoleon]

I'm on a computer, and my phone's broken, so I can't play this until my phone's fixed. Who can Dewey pick as a running-mate?
