[Secretary Polnut]

Went through primaries, eventually Clinton endorsed me and put me over the top, Obama refused to drop out or accept the VP slot until July, even though I wrapped up the nomination after the West Virgina primary.

So it was McCain/Pawlenty vs Polnut/Obama....


McCain really couldn't catch a break...





There were about 5 states that were decided by less than 1% - I think the last minute nation-wide network TV ad I did on my leadership pushed them over... all except, AZ, which McCain held onto by less than 500 votes.

Polnut/Obama - 450 EV - 59.8%
McCain/Pawlenty - 88 EV - 40.2%

Best state (outside of DC): CT 80.2-19.8% (LOL!!!)

Worst state: UT 40.5-59.5%

Though I'm guessing it's since the indepdent really took the votes from Obama in like a 5-1 margin

I just got the Demo, played as Paul in the 2008 GOP Primaries, and won Iowa, NH, and SC, each time I was polling in the 7% area too.

Im buying the full version tommorow.

A great game Consider waiting, the 2012 version should be coming out very soon. That's what I'm waiting on.

I will definatly get that. The mods look epic. 1968 especially.

Don't get too excited I remember in the older versions of P4E+P, really minor candidates (Gravel, Kucinich, and Paul, mostly, though I saw it happen with Hunter once too) would somehow insanely over-perform in the primaries.

I've seen Hunter and Dodd win randomly, other wise, nothing to bad.

[Secretary Polnut]

An awkward one... during set up, I forgot to not close the Independent.... which is me also.

So the contest was

D: Polnut/Richardson
R: McCain/Palin
L: Barr/Eh... I don't care
I: Polnut/Hagel

So end result....



Polnut/Richardson - 448 EV - 50.3%
McCain/Palin - 90 EV - 37.8%
"Libertarians" - 0 EV - 0.5%
Polnut/Hagel - 0 EV - 11.4%

[tb78]

Clinton/Gore- 322, 41.6%
Forbes/Kemp- 216, 41.2%
Perot/Choate- 16.2%
Nader- 0.3 %

I played as Perot, struggled the whole campaign to get up to 8%, but somehow I got 16%. Must have a hell of a glitch. Clinton won by 3,000 votes in California, it took the whole night to declare a winner. My best state was Montana where I got 31%, and almost beat Clinton.

[Andy Jackson]

(Sorry I used the 2012 map for this)I did a run through of my created "United States - 1800 Election" to see if there's anything I need to change. North Carolina was the tipping point, Adams won it with 50.3% to Jefferson's 49.7%.


(Federalist)-John Adams,MA/Charles Pinckney,SC: 79EV, 48.1%
(Democratic Republican)-Thomas Jefferson,VA/Aaron Burr,NY: 59EV, 51.9%

2004:



Rep: Bush/Cheney; 275 EV's, 48.3% of PV
Dem: Wesley Clark/Bill Richardson; 263 EV's, 49.2% of PV
Ind: Nader/Camejo; 0 EV's, 2.5%

I played as Wesley Clark in a 2004 scenario.  I hammered Bush on foreign policy, but he won the economy.  On the day before the election I was ahead 52-45 nationwide.  Internal polls had me uo 53-43 in California.  I was the heavy favorite going into election night, and as results poured in it looked more and more likley that I would win a big victory.  Alas, Bush won California by a mere 217 votes!!!  I was disapointed and amazed, to say the very least.

[Andy Jackson]

Here are results from a scenario I created, based on the latest reset of Virtual Politics. Bonilla and Palin hammered each other, with Palin at the beginning leading big. The race tightened and by the end, Bonilla had unleashed waves of scandals on Palin, further tightening the race. The election eventually came down to either Minnesota or Mississippi, with Mississippi being won by Bonilla by 49.8% to Palin's 49.7%.


(Democratic)-Gov. Basilio Bonilla,PA/Rep. Michael Holmes,TX: 270 EV, 47.9%
(Republican)-VP. Emma Palin,CA/Rep. Rick Andora,FL: 268 EV, 49.9%

[Secretary Polnut]

2012

Obama/Biden - 462 EV - 53.2%
Romney/Rice - 76 EV - 38.1%
Paul/Crackpot - 0 EV - 8.7%

While Paul didn't crack 9% nationally, he did well enough in GA, AZ, MT, KY, SC, LA and TX that he certainly cost Romney those states.

FYI

CT: Obama: 56 Romney: 42
NJ: Obama 54 Romney: 42
GA: Obama: 47.5 Romney 47.4
AZ: Obama 46.2 Romney 46.0
TX: Obama 45.1 Romney 44.9

Okay.. Polling did not suggest a result even remotely like this. But I suppose my 'bombs away at the last minute' strategy worked as always.



Christian Mattingly/Chuck Baldwin: 241 EV, 36.5% PV
Wesley Clark/Bill Richardson: 190 EV, 31.6% PV
George W. Bush/Richard Cheney: 107 EV, 31.9% PV
