President... Kucinich?

Funnest game I have ever played, I played this game on Hard to get the extra score.
Upset Victory for Me. Romney was ahead in Missouri, Minnesota, and Michigan until election day.
I played it as far left as possible, it was a toss up election from the start.

[R] Romney/Coleman -  64,898,211 - 49.36% - 265 E.V.
[D] Kucinich/Sanders - 66,575,495 - 50.64% - 273 E.V.

Closest States - (Under 3%)
Missouri - 49.67% > 50.33%
Michigan - 49.46% > 50.54 %
Iowa - 50.88 < 49.12%
Minnesota - 48.78% > 51.22%
Oregon - 51.43% < 48.57%
Virginia - 51.47% < 48.53%

Nixon/Rockefeller: 261 EV, 45.1% PV, 59,776,118
RFK/Shriver: 232 EV, 39.6% PV, 52,436,892
George Wallace/LeMay: 45EV, 20,205,991

RFK loses the EV and the popular vote, yet due to a democratic congress, is elected and becomes the 36th President of the United States. Nixon gets screwed by a Kennedy again.

Definitely the most fun I've had playing the game so far. Was almost sure I was going to lose coming into election day (which I guess I technically did). CA kept switching back and forth throughout and would have given me the win. I also barely managed to hold on to NJ, MD, OR, and CT which also stopped Nixon from hitting 270. Strangely IL one my biggest base of support despite Nixon winning it IRTL. Wallace wins all the states he did IRTL. Made plays for TN, OK, TX, MO, DE, OH, CA, and IN. Even had OK going into election day but it barely went to GOP.

Kennedy/Muskie: 293, 43.1% PV, 56,891,096
Rockefeller/Rhodes: 217, 40.7% PV, 53,781,068
Wallace/LeMay: 28, 16.2% PV, 21,464,761

I played as Robert Kennedy in 1968. Took out McCarthy and a bunch of no-names from the primaries. I ran only against President Johnson, and I also threw McGovern in there just for fun. Johnson put up a damn good fight, I actually only beat him after McGovern withdrew.

On the Republican side, I took out Nixon and it was a clown car, but the only candidates that gained any traction were Rockefeller, Reagan, and Romney. In the end, Rockefeller upset Reagan and won the nomination by an incredibly narrow margin. Less than 100 delegates actually.

In the general, I initially trailed Rockefeller in NY, but I quickly gained the lead there and never let it go. I had to fight hard for Texas, and ended up losing it 35.2% to 34.3%. Vermont was also very narrow, I won by 0.2%.

Given that I don't have Prime Minister Forever (although I really want that game), I chose to use the PF scenario in which the UK holds a Presidential election to see what could happen. I played as Farage expecting to win a region or two, and the results were... fascinating.



Nigel Farage (UKIP): 278 EV, 33.2% PV, 15,200,649
Ed Milliband (Labor): 103 EV, 24% PV, 10,978,347
David Cameron (Conservative): 103 EV, 23.5% PV, 10,765,692
Nicola Sturgeon (SNP): 33 EV, 2.5% PV, 1,125,428
Caroline Lucas (Green): 12 EV, 5.2% PV, 2,363,128
Nick Clegg (LibDem): 0 EV, 11.1% PV, 5,081,020
Ieuan Wyn Jones (Plaid Cymru): 0 EV, 0.6% PV, 292,228


Surprisingly enough Cameron held some healthy leads over UKIP in the areas he won, but Milliband and Laboor came close to a complete collapse. Save from the areas of Wales they won, I came within one or two points of winning the rest of the regions they managed to win. The greens managed to defeat the SNP in a region (somehow), and the Lib Dems lost everything, their best result being third place (24%) in Devon. Plaid actually came close to winning most of Wales, but Cameron took those regions with slim margins.

All in all it's a fairly interesting fantasy scenario, but I would naturally prefer to try the actual game about British elections.

1968: Romneymania!
or
The Three Georges

This was a fun little game. I took out Nixon on the Republican side and played as Romney. I negotiated to win the endorsement of the Teamsters and Eisenhower, which, combined with my decisive victory in the New Hampshire primary, allowed me to snowball to the GOP nomination, where I picked George Bush as my running mate. On the Democratic side, I turned off Humphrey and enabled McGovern and Connally, letting the chaos unfold. Connally dropped out around the Florida primary, but the convention was deadlocked until McCarthy threw his support to McGovern, whose running mate was Fred Harris.

Compared to the primary season, the general election was pretty anticlimactic; I had double-digit leads all the way to November (though I threw in some ads and a Crusader - Gerry Ford - for a little boost just to be sure). Debates were mixed, one each for Wallace and myself. McGovern got a boost from the "Halloween Peace", but it wasn't enough to save him. I probably could have gone for RI, AK, ME, and MA if I wanted, but I was busy focusing on other states. Either way, landslide:



Gov. George Romney (R-MI)/Rep. George Bush (R-TX): 466 EVs, 38,378,134 PVs (50.6%)
Gov. George Wallace (AI-AL)/Mr. Curtis LeMay (AI-CA): 39 EVs, 12,218,018 PVs (16.1%)
Sen. George McGovern (D-SD)/Sen. Fred Harris (D-OK): 32 EVs, 25,315,006 PVs (33.3%)

Fmr. Vice President Richard Nixon/ Mayor John Lindsay-   468 EVs, 55.1% PV
Senator George McGovern/ Ambassador Sargent Shriver- 43 EVs, 29.3% PV
Governor George Wallace/ General Curtis LeMay- 27 EVs, 15.6% PV

The Democratic Party was severely divided. Southern Democrats flocked to Wallace, with McGovern not breaking the double digits throughout the entire Deep South. Nixon further capitalized on the polarization within the Democratic Party by running on a theme of "Peace Abroad, Peace At Home" which hit on a combination of law-and-order and foreign policy issues. Commentators predicted that McGovern's radicalism would forfeit moderate Democrats to Nixon. This prophecy came true when President Harry Truman and his allies endorsed and campaign for the Nixon/Lindsay ticket.

The Nixon/Lindsay ticket ran on an honorable end to Vietnam, achieving a lasting peace to hold off nuclear war, ending the disorder and chaos at home, and a general message of peace and unity. This contrasted well with the division, infighting, and extremism of both other candidates in the race. Nixon's traditional Republican base was greatly expanded by the flight of the so-called "Nixon Democrats" who opposed the growing radicalism within the Democratic Party. His selection of John Lindsay, a signal to the moderate faction of the Republican Party, also won him the endorsement and active support of Massachusetts Senator Ed Brooke.

In the end, President-Elect Nixon won an enormous landslide over second place finisher McGovern. The two Democrats in the race received 44.9% of the popular vote. This result would herald the coming of a decades-long, Republican majority.

Wasn't completely and entirely sure how realistic this was. It made sense in my mind if you treat McGovern like a caricature of radicals and Wallace was a caricature of the reactionary/populist Dems.

Simmed as Bloomberg on President Infinity (got it yesterday) because my game w/ Rubio vs Clinton froze, so I wanted to see if a whole game could be played w/o freezing, luckily it did...so 270soft won't have to deal w/ my short fuse Wink

But, did not expect Bush, who was GOP nominee in this race, to clobber Hillary.



Bush: 306 EVs
Clinton: 232 EVs

I won 2.2%, roughly 3.3 Million votes without doing anything. The Map itself is bizarre.

Actually, i did do one thing. i ran two attack ads on Bush and Hillary, and the Bush one backfired, but the Hillary one did some decent damage. But, she already was losing before that (except in Ohio, where her lead went from 13% to like 5%, and then bounced back to 11% on election night).

They really need to fix percentages, OH would never go D if Maine went red, and vice versa for MN, RI. I did read that realistic modeling will be added soon.

2016 ELECTION:
President-Elect, Marco Rubio, R-Florida; Vice President-Elect Rob Portman, R-Ohio: 311 EVs; 49.9%; 75,018,347
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts; U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, D-Vermont: 227 EVs; 46.2%; 69,548,739
Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, I-NY; Former SecDef Chuck Hagel, I-NE; 0 EVs; 2.5%; 3,759,551
Former Governor Gary Johnson, D-New Mexico; Former Judge James Gray, D-California: 0 EVs; 1,482,211
Physician Jill Stein, G-Massachusetts; Activist Cheri Honkala, G-Pennsylvania; 0 EVs; 618,972

What a fun campaign! I was Rubio-Portman. It was very bizarre, and interesting. It was neck and neck until early October when I started opening up huge leads in many states. However, after I won the second debate, scandals started popping up on Rubio.

Warren made the national polls go from 48-41% to 47-44%. I started bombarding her in the airwaves, and it went back to a decent 48-42%. Scandals started to erupt on Warren (Bloomberg, and I continued the attacks via airwaves on her as well).

Then, mid-October, the endorsements started piling in:

New York Times, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Al Gore, Bill Nelson, Joe Manchin, Barbara Boxer, and Jerry Brown (Independent Angus King, and Jesse Ventura as well) ALL endorsed me (along w/ all the typical GOP endorsements). Warren started slipping in deep blue states, like CA and NY. I started focusing completely on CA, and let Warren regain footing.

She started picking up Democrat endorsements, and started to peel off smaller states from me. By election day, I kept a consistent lead, but stopped campaigning w/ 2 days to go. She also got some Republican officials endorsements.

I won very early on, but most states were very, very close. Like 49-46, 48-47 for many of them. and states like OH, NC, FL, where I led by 8-11% points wound up becoming 50-46 and 51-46 wins.

Nice win! I try to play without third parties since I played a King/Fiorina vs. Clinton/Warner with Everyone on.

Every Tossup I lost by less than 0.5%. I need to get better.

Reagan-Hatfield, Repub: 410 EVs (Me)
McGovern-T. Kennedy, Dem: 161 EVs
Wallace-LeMay, AIP: 27 EVs

Another wild election. I had this one wrapped up early, but Wallace was mounting a big national  comeback and it was flipping states like AR, GA, and WV in contention w/ him. It also helped McGovern beat me out in ND, SD, and IL (he had like 5% in each state, which was enough to sink me there).

I ran a nationwide ad against Wallace, and it carried me into victory. My game also kept glitching, so it took a while too finish this lmao.

I decided to try this game out. I have been coasting as Clinton, everything was semi-normal... then this just happened:



Walker just dropped out of the race... with the lead. All he had to do to clinch the nomination was win NE, which he has a 20 point lead in the polls over Rubio... and he dropped out.

Rubio doesn't have enough delegates in second place to reach the majority with the remaining states so I don't know what the sim is going to do but this was so weird.

I sure hope we get more realistic modeling and fewer crashes. I was playing a 1936 scenario and on my way to winning at least a state or two as Huey Long and then it just stopped working... Once, I lost North Carolina 83-17 and won the whole election anyway, winning states like Missouri.
