When I did this, I played as the Libertarian (no Independent) and flip-flopped throughout the campaign while the Republican and Democrat were pretty much left alone.

[Jake]

I think I'll see if I can make Republicans a 4 on the scale of 5 on party strength or it might be because the GOP are the incumbents in the game. I'll turn that off.
