How do I keep losing?  I am not a week candidate.  Something seems fishy to me ben.

You only gave yourself $3,000,000, an Established of 2, and a relatively low PIP number.  That probably has to do with it.

Hope I'm not annoying you (feel free to ignore this), but I would be interested to see me vs. Bahney again with the changes I made.

Well increase my PIP as high as you can then and my money by 2 mil.  I'm not increasing my establishment.  Then run me versus you.

Polls before Iowa:

Constine: 45 states
Moore: 2 states
Tossup: 4 states


Bahney: 48 states
Vepres: 1 state
Tossup: 2 states

I have no explanation for this.  Every candidate has the same number of PIP's, Constine and Bahney have $10,000,000, while Vepres and Happy both have $5,000,000.

Per Vepres' suggestion, I've set well known and and established equal.  It also turned out I had set base percentages differently; I was set at 18, Bahney was set at 20, Happy was set at 15, and Vepres was at 15.  I corrected that, and got these maps:

I recommend that every candidates states percentages (except maybe in their home states) and how well know and how well established are equal so as to create a more competitive race.

Just a quick note on percentages: I set everyone at 20% across the board, except for 30% in their home states.

Okay, I'm going to try this again Wink
Republican:
Bahney vs. Moratlis vs. Coppersmith vs. John Smith vs. Drexler vs. Valmont

Democrat:
Constine vs. L'Hermine vs. Pilar
 
I played as Mary Ruwart, Libertarian...

Map before Iowa...
Republican:


Democrat:


On January 21st, Coppersmith and Smith dropped out of the Republican race. Drexler suprisingly wins Michigan, but doesn't get many delegates from it. Valmont also eeked out a win in Florida. Going into Super Tuesday, Bahney was the presumptive nominee for Republicans, while it was a 3-man race for the Democratic nomination.
On Super Tueday, Valmont performed suprisingly well, winning 5 states. On the Democratic side, Pilar performed well, and earned frontrunner status. On February 21, Moratlis withdrew from the race. Valmont withdraws on March 3. The following week, Drexler endorses Bahney, and withdraws from the race. Bahney is the Republican nominee.
The Democratic primaries drug on. It was very similar to RL 2008, except there were 3 candidates. Pilar had a slight delegate lead, but still needed 400 more. No one would be the nominee by the end of the primaries.
Indiana Results:
L'Hermine: 33.4%
Constine: 33.1%
Pilar: 33.5%
At the convention Constine was eliminated first, although he had recieved more votes than L'Hermine. In the final vote, Pilar recieved a majority, and became the Democratic nominee, at a very divided convention.
Bahney/Lieberman vs. Pilar/Biden vs. Ruwart/Brown
Final Map:


Bahney: 54.8%  107,802,595
Pilar: 41.3%       81,204,562
Ruwart: 3.9%    7,576,207
Best Bahney State: Utah, 83%
Best Pilar State: D.C., 65%
Best Ruwart State: Illinois, 11%

JK. I would no doubt siphon votes from somebody else, thus hurting the candidate of one wing.

I'm eagerly awaiting the results.

If I had to guess, I would say you would be the most likely to win, simply because if New Hampshire and Nevada.
