How are the swing states leaning? By the way, Gary Johnson was the Libertarian candidate for President I heard many people talk about. Talk about surprises. By the way, could you possibly show us all the tickets? Also, are the colors the same? I really like this thread. Thanks for your creativity !!!

By the way, could you possibly show us all the tickets? Also, are the colors the same? I really like this thread. Thanks for your creativity !!!

Here are the tickets:

Bloomberg/Hagel (CC)
Johnson/Kubby (L)
Perot/Gravel (R)

Also, these three aren't officially the nominees yet, but are expected to be:

Clinton/Richardson (D)
Giuliani/Hunter (R)
Nader/Foster (G)

[defe07]

And the gray states or light blue/ light red states are leaning for which candidate?

[Hash]

Update, I can't wait.

[SPC]

And the gray states or light blue/ light red states are leaning for which candidate?

GIuliani is winning OH and TN
Clinton is winning IA and MO
Bloomberg is winning NE.

Update, I can't wait.

be patient, it will come tomorrow.

[defe07]

Cool, I thought it was like that. By the way, what are the best states for Johnson and Perot? I'm loving each second of it  

[Downwinder]

yeah--thank you!!  This is very entertaining!

[CPT MikeyMike]

Interesting but I don't understand a few thing about Perot.

1. Simply why would he run? He is 78 years old and he'd fall similarly with Bloomberg with his politics.

2. Why would Perot pick Gravel? Not only is Gravel in his late 70's but they are miles apart on their politics. I can't see the logic there.

Nevertheless, please continue. It's pretty good!

Perot's best states are ME and UT, while Johnson's nest states are AK and NM.

yeah--thank you!!  This is very entertaining!

Thank you for the encouragement. This has to be the most popular timeline I've ever made,

1. Perot wants to make a last stand in politics.
2. Perot liked the theme of Gravel's campaign.
3. Thank you, once again.

I think the Reform Party still has ballot access in only 3 states, I believe.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Continue the good work with your TL SPC. It's a very good timeline. But, I find it just a tad bit quite wrong that, the 3 day jailbird Paris Hilton is having an affair with Bill Clinton. I don't want to imagine that any further!

Yes and by making him poll 7% in the polls.

I can't buy Hillary stabbing her husband, I hope this doesn't take an unplausible turn.

Yes. I think Clinton's days with affairs and woman are quite over now...
