Talk Elections

I remember a thread like this existing once, and it was pretty fun.

Gogogogogo!

Only Oklahoma prefers a negative entity (R) to Bacon King (D).

()

Bacon King 310 - belgiansocialist 228

BBF vs. Belgiansocialist

()

BBF wins.

()

BBF wins by a hair over JM (270-268).  Not sure what the state margins would be like.

Well you could still pick up the West and NE by being socially liberal and pro-environment. 

()

()

Phknrocket1k: 385
Mr. Fuzzleton: 183

Naso way ahead of pnkroacket:
Naso dark blue at 305, pnkcroquette at 233, light blue:

()

()

Naso 353 - opebo 185

Yeah, I'd win Florida, Virginia and NC and maybe Montana ;).

()

big bad fab: 332 EVs
Opebo: 216 EVs

Opebo manages to win in many socially liberal areas where his campaign is able to somewhat downplay his extremism; surprisingly, his "$15 an hour minimum wage" stance in addition to his extremely generous welfare ideas give Opebo's campaign unexpected support from the Rust Belt and other ailing areas in these tough economic times. Big bad fab still manages to coast to victory, however, completely routing Opebo in suburbs across the nation and earning complete support from evangelicals, who show up to the polls in droves in fear of being eaten by lions.

Red is Bacon King, blue is big bad fab

Officepark defeats BK 292-246

officepark defeats hash

()

(put me in blue vs hash!)

(no way Hash would win Ohio and Michigan, and even PA, against officepark)

()

Teddy 309 - hash 229

Hash is surprisingly high, due to a strong support in traditionnally liberal areas, but also in "new" ones, in VA, NC, MT, ND, CO.
Generally speaking he is doing well in West and NW (it's so that he manages to win AK ! and he does a bit less badly among Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, SD than around the lower Mississipi),
but badly in the Middle East, in Michigan, even in Minnesota (which he loses very narrowly but for the same reasons as Michigan: a bad result among remaining blue-collars and among lower classes in general) and Illinois, though he manages to keep Wisconsin for some dozens of votes (university votes, probably :P).
He loses NJ very narrowly. He loses NM due to not so good results among Hispanics.

A pretty surprising map, for a "classical" overall result.

An interesting map to do ;).

()

What? Nobody said it had to be an American map...

BBF wins the traditionally centre-right parts of Sweden, as well as some agrarian swing districs who like him cause he's a farmer; Gotland, Kalmar, und so weiter. Teddy wins the swing districs of Malmö (completly urban, no farmer love) and Västra Götaland North (Big Automobil Industry)   

Teddy is red of course
BBF is blue

()

()

I think there would be a lot of close states. SC would be able to play in some states in the west. GW would be able to hit it up in the rust belt (assuming the economy is in it's current state).

I think I'm being generous to Ghostie here...

()

408-130

285 - 253
()

()

Ben - 521
Polnut -  17

FWIW... I don't think I'd do that badly - I'd probably lose...but I think i'd take the west coast and Hawaii - and probably one or two MW States.

But this is an interesting match-up, the old-school Democrats versus Reaganfan, our resident nationalist.

()

Ben: 331
Naso: 207

I would expect a relatively successful left 3rd party candidacy here. The popular vote would be razor thin.

()

Regan wins a close one.

By the current definition, Polnut appears to be a Communaziliberalhippymuslimkenyan. 

()

()

Yelnoc:234
A-Bob:304

Interesting we both lose our home states lol

()

HappyWarrior (D): 316
A-Bob (R): 222

()

This is a battle of economic values - as they're pretty matched socially.

There would definitely be a left-third party candidate, so the vote margin won't be reflected in the somewhat blowout win of ...

Realisticidealist (D) - 407
A-Bob (R) - 131

I would imagine, turnout would be very suppressed.

()

That is a beautiful map. [skip]

()
Blue-Ghost_white
Red-Polnut

This is my guess as I'm not really familiar with either of the two posters.

()

Obviously many states would be close due to the fact it's two conservatives, particularly Ohio.

Red- Ghost White
Blue- Cathcon

I think I'd win... honestly... [SKIP]

()

Yeah, you'd win pretty easily. SKIP

Jbrase (Green)
vs
A-Bob (Blue

()

Jbrase does well in the west and New England while A-Bob does well in the east and south.  The Mormons go for A-Bob, but the libertarian/liberal coalition in the non-Mormon innermountain west go for Jbrase.

Antonio performs best among the cajuns and in upper New England

Snowguy capitalizes on a strong "He isn't American!" camapign based in the south.

()

With both candidates being socially liberal, the race comes down to economics. Jbrase makes a strong showing in the west and does decently in New England, but loses in a race close in the PV but not in the EC.

()

()

JBrase performs well in the southern and plains states due to being more of a 'real American' than his opponent. However, Snowstalker's economic progressivism allows him to win several critical swing states and ultimately carry the day.

MOPolitico, running as the GOP candidate, is able to capture high support among Independents and snag a victory.


()

tmth runs a moderate hero campaign which alienates the conservatives in the GOP so on election day the conservatives fail to come out in full force handing the election to MOPolitico

()

An extremely close race in most states due to JBrase being a libertarian that has the ability to attract conservatives and liberals and tmth being a moderate that can easily attracted independents while reaching out to both parties. While the electoral college is a landlslide, the PV would be razon thin.

()

()

This is the kind of election in which the Democrats couldn't help themselves and would run a ticket to take advantage of the badly split GOP vote.

Jbrase has a strong base in the libertarian heartland - his social views do not help him in traditionally liberal states, and they do him in in the South. A-Bob has the advantage of being a pretty run of the mill moderate-ish GOPer, assuming he doesn't beat the social issues drum, chances are he'd flatten his opponent.

But turnout in liberal states would be very suppressed.

()
291 - 247

()

Ben wins a large electoral victory, although the popular vote is pretty close. FiCons cry themselves to sleep as Ben wins with on the back of social conservatives, economics leftists, and neoconservatives. Polnut (green) tries to court some of the disaffected fiscal conservatives, but ultimately fails to consolidate them and the liberals enough to win.

()

After a closely-fought campaign, benconstine manages to pull away from realisticidealist in the electoral college by cobbling together a coalition of southern and rust belt states and retaining California for the Democrats. realisticidealist does much better in the popular vote than in the electoral count, however, offsetting benconstine's strengths with etatist voters by running a similar, but moderate, campaign.

()

Moderate hero destroys libertarian.

()

()
Under the assumption of moderate hero vs. liberal.

()

Cathcon 269
Wisconsin Uber Alles 269

Really boring map between a conservative Republican and a liberal Democrat, though I did give Cathcon MI. I don't know enough about either poster to know who would be more electable so I made it a 269-269 tie.

()

TJ in Cleve (Blue) receives a decent electoral victory over Cathcon (Green). Popular vote is close in most states, but totals are down nationally. TJ ultimately wins the popular vote by about 3-4%.

()

TJ sweeps the south. realist sweeps the Pacific coast and the NE. There's a tough battle in the west do to TJ's social conservative positions and in the the rust belt.

Is TJ more Conservative than me? I'd like to discover how I became positioned as the Liberal candidate.

SKIP

I envisioned the contest as TJ being the hard-right social conservative who was more moderate economically vs. you who was more Constitutionalist and focused on economic issues. I had TJ repulsing the social liberals, and you moving to pick some of them up. Really more of a Republican primary electorate than anything.

SKIP (next matchup would be me vs. A-Bob, fyi)

()

realisticidealist is able to take most of those Republican voters who like to temper their social conservatism with economic populism, as well as easily capturing upwards of ninety percent of the ethnic vote. A-Bob puts up a valiant fight, but loses.

This is a very difficult one to judge as Liberte is relatively new but the fact that he can speak with considerable knowledge on Marxism will utterly doom him....

()

Assuming A-bob runs as a harmless GOPer... sadly Lib gets thumped...

384 - 154 (frankly... I'm being generous probably)...

Reserving

()

Polnut (Ignoring the fact he's from Australia) vs. Snowguy

Both are liberals, so evangelicals would just die. :P Between the two, I find Polnut to be slightly more moderate, and I think he'd do a better job at displaying his ideas, bringing him a narrow victory.

Polnut - Red
Snowy - Green

()

()

Tmthforu: 328
Gio: 210

Unable to find a significant left-wing base, Gio looses most of the swing states, while retaining the heavily Democratic areas, mainly because they couldn't stomach voting for an Indiana Republican. ;)

This a battle of economics and they're both pretty left socially...

I would expect record low evangelical turnout, leaving the South just prime picking for Barnes.

Gio would do quite well in the upper plains and other right-libertarian base states.

()

So a very clear 471-67 EV win for Barnes... and the depressed evangelical vote would probably mean a considerable popular vote win too.

Barnes wins.

()

()

Polnut wins in a landslide when it comes out that Morgan is an asexual.  Like atheists, there is a strong aversion to asexuals.  Plus, Polnut's accent captures the hearts of the 18-29 female (and gay male) demographic.

Snow in a landslide

()

It's two conservative candidates. States can't vote NOTA

SKIP

Conservative vs. Libertarian map again...Gramps wins narrowly.

()

Poor economic numbers doom an otherwise pretty decent candidate.

()

Abob (R)-281
Snowstalker (D)-257

SoCons would hate this matchup, but the moderate bullmoose wins in a landslide.

()

396-142

Hard, since they're quite similar, but I'll try...

()

bullmoose88: 285
Hashemite: 253

I would NEVER win the Deep South or most of the Prairies/Midwest.

Neither would bullmoose88.

(SKIP me and Hashemite's last post, think of the last post as my map)

()


Snowstalker: 460 electoral votes
Hashemite: 78 electoral votes

It starts out close but as the campaign progresses Hash comes off more and more as a douche and his base erodes. The final blow is the negative response to Hash's lack of civility at the debates allowing for lopsided election.

()

()

The election is a close one, as Mint makes a series of gaffes involving his desire to send various swing groups to the gas chambers and tearfully denies during a televised debate that cooking is gay.  Jbrase loses support due to his stated desire to ban automobiles, a position that grows even more confusing when he explains it by saying "I want to ban cars in order to ban abortion."

()

Mint: 275
Jbrase: 263

Sorry, gotta be honest (white vs. wormy)

()

Ghost-white: 538

Snow easily crushes Wormy :

()

Snowstalker : 62%, 430 EVs
Wormyguy : 38%, 108 EVs

An election with verylow turn out, several states end up voting "uncomitted", in Nevada "NOTA" wins 28%. Antonio's best performances are in VT and NJ.



()

Low turnout.  Antonio may win out in the end.  *shrugs*

()

Vermont naturally (;D), but why NJ ? ???

Skip

Well I keep forgetting whether your French or Italian so I just have you do well with both groups :P

Skip (but not really I guess becuase Morgan vs Me would have been next anyways)

Indeed, I'm both. :P

SKIP

Someone post a map, goshdangit.

SKIP

()

Fallen Morgan 286
JBrase 252

Many Dems vote the "lesser of two evils", Fallen Morgan, except where "conservative Dems" are more numerous (hence PA, OH, IL).
"Liberals" of all kinds support Fallen Morgan.
GOPers are loyal to JBrase, which appear as a more "classical" candidate to them.

()

Forget the totals, but fab (blue) wins narrowly.

()

()

Narrow victory (277-261) for Snowstalker, able to grasp all the NE Dems, but also blue-collar voters, in OH and PA, despite A-Bob strength among all sorts of conservatives, including social ones (hence IA) and his SW regional stronghold (hence NV, NM and CO).

Ignoring the fact BBF is a foreigner...

BBF is able to win in a comfortable race, as he has seen as the more moderate of the two. He receives over 60% of liberal support as well as over 50% of moderates, while also performing well among conservatives.

()

()

This is difficult. Tmth is the economic conservative (Green), BBF the more social conservative (Blue)...It would be a free for all

()

Tmth: 435 electoral votes
A-Bob: 103 electoral votes

Tmth wins with 65% of Democrats, 55% of Independents, and 50% of Republicans.

()

()

Yelnoc is able to win, being able to win over 80% of Republicans and 60% of Independents. Turnout is rather depressed due to lack of a candidate with social conservatism.

()

()

Yelnoc : 52%, 335 EVs
Tmth : 48%, 203

()

I think is probably the best I can see Antonio do - but if he let's slip his more socialist views, it probably costs him OR, MN, IL and all of ME - even NJ would be at risk.

343-195 (or 397-141)

()
Antonio in Green

I think a lot of right-wingers might stay home, but Antonio might actually motivate many super-leftists to come out and vote. This is the max I think Antonio could take.

()

Polnut: 510
Teddy: 28

Teddy in Green

()

Teddy wins 330-208

()

()

JBrase wins 375-163. Most of America doesn't feel comfortable voting for a gay atheist. Sorry afleitch!

Basically becomes populist vs. libertarian. Beau wins narrowly.

()

()

Light red is snow. The roch dominates despite rumors of his sexuality.

ghostwhite (D) vs Snowstalker (G/I)

()

()

ghostwhite/Mint wins 270-268. JBrase wins the socially liberal Northern states, as well as Florida and some libertarian Western states. ghostwhite wins everywhere else.

I think I would have won IL, IA, NE, and maybe the Dakotas. My kind of populism plays well in rural areas and heavily minority areas.

()

Rochambeau: 307 EVs, 53% of the popular vote

Morgieb: 231 EVs, 47% of the popular vote

()

Alfred F. Jones (S): 337 EV, 50% of PV

Morgieb (G): 201 EV, 48% of PV

Alfred's strong left-wing economic views cause him to win by large margins throughout the Rust Belt and parts of the Northeast and Southwest/Pacific. Morgie capitalizes on extremely depressed turnout throughout the South, but doesn't manage to pull off a win.

()

Nix (D) narrowly beats SJF (R) in a race that plays out mainly on issues of regional and cultural identity.

()

Nix 48%
Shua 47%
Constitution 3%
Others 2%

()

Shua wins in a landslide as Julio is painted as too left wing and out of touch, he only wins the core Democratic states of Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, Hawaii and DC. Shua wins elsewhere as the 'lesser of two evils', except for the deep south where he is deemed as being too socially liberal. 'Unpledged Electors' takes several southern states as both choices are simply unpalatable.

Shua - 471
Julio - 35
Unpledged Electors - 32

()

Julio is left-wing and 'out-of-touch with the common man'; SupersonicVenue is far-right and a 'dangerous extremist'. So basically every D vs R election, ever. Julio narrowly wins.


The cosmopolitan Southerner (yeah, Floridian, but ties to KY, TN, WV, and IN) vs the small-town guy from Rochester?

()

SupersonicVenue is seen as too right-wing for America, and Sjoyce is able to use his economic moderation to win over swing voters to get him a decisive victory.

South Florida, definitely, but I'm in central FL :P And Arkansas isn't really "the heartland" (and Indiana is).

Current matchup is me & Morgie, for the record (just in case anyone got confused there).

An election between two pleasant moderates- I've forgtten how to put up a map but I believe it would be similar to 2004

SJoyce runs as a moderate and libertarian republican and morgieb as a liberal democrat, still more socially conservative than SJoyce. A State Rights candidate emerges in the south

()

SJoyce 271 47%
Morgieb 224 45%
SR 43 7%
Others 1%

I say Clarence wins because he'll win over more Democrats than Julio will with Republicans.

()

Clarence- 291 EV 52%
Julio- 247 EV 47.5%

Julio is portrayed as too liberal for America, giving Miles a victory. However, Julio still wins the liberal states, and does well in the SW due to his ethnicity.

()

()

Morgie vs Miles: Miles (being more conservative than Morgie) performs well in the South, while his economic moderate-liberal tendencies allow him to pick off a couple of Rust Belt states as well. Morgie does well in liberal areas and also manages to grab Montana and Arizona, but that is not enough to counter Miles' gains in the Midwest.

Well, I've already done the Morgieb Vs. SJoyce map, so, this time it'll be Miles (D-mostly a Dixie) vs. SJoyce (R) and Morgieb (I-backed by Greens, Ralph Nader, Bernie Sanders and the left wing of the Democratic Party):

()
 
SJoyce 38% - 203
Morgieb 36% - 171
Miles 26% - 164

The election goes to the House, where Miles is elected President. Morgieb supporters start the ReLOVEution of the left.

Sjoyce wins easily, as Julio's European politics are too far left of the American "center".

()

Sjoyce 301
Julio 237

And I spend 4 years vacationing, in Washington, Colorado, Minnesota, Tennessee, Illinois, Michigan, New Hampshire, Delaware, New Jersey, Texas, New Mexico, Virginia, and Iowa while shouting about national popular vote :P

Julio (D) vs Yelnoc (R):

()

Yelnoc: 305 EVs, 55% PV
Julio: 233 EVs, 43% PV

Julio's a leftist in Europe which translates to a far-leftist in America, while Yelnoc is about at the American center. While (being Hispanic) Julio manages to pull off narrow victories in Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona, Yelnoc sweeps everywhere else.

()

Yelnoc is in blue, Joyce in red. Yelnoc's populism plays very well, winning all the toss-ups outside of the SW, where Joyce plays surprisingly well.

Moderate liberal Morgieb is able to capture more swing voters than 20RP12, though the libertarian Republican makes the popular vote rather close due to an influx of random people he found on the block.

()

Morgieb (D-CA? Correct me if I'm wrong): 322 EVs, 51% of the popular vote
20RP12 (R-PA): 216 EVs, 48% of the popular vote

()

Alfred F. Jones runs a passionate and hardfought campaign, but is unable to overtake the more moderate Morgieb, who wins the support of Republicans, moderate Democrats, and most independents.

Morgieb (D) - 395 EVs
Alfred F. Jones (D) - 143 EVs

()

Scottslide

()

Scott (D-CT) - 343
Jbrase (I-IA) - 195

A very unusual election with a libertarian facing off against a, rather generic, northeastern Democrat. Scott capitalises on Jbrase's right-wing economics by frightening seniors worried about Medicare in swing states such as Florida allowing him to win a decisive electoral college victory. Jbrase's social libertarianism also harms his standing among the traditionally Republican over 65 age bracket too. In the deep south, depressed evangelical turnout, allows Scott to very narrowly carry Arkansas, Mississipi and Alabama on African-American votes. Jbrase however is able to carry most of the Solid Republican states, and manages to steal New Hampshire by appealing to its libertarian, small government nature. He also carries his home state of Iowa. Either way, a big win for Scott.

You seem to have confused me with 20RP12. He hasn't posted in this thread since March 2011 on page 1.

()

SupersonicVenue 52.4%  
SoEA SJoyceFla 47.6%

()

SuperSonicVenue 272 EVs 49.4%
LiberalJunkie 266 EVs 49.3%
Others 1.3%

()

JulioMadrid (D): 62% PV, 382 EVs
LiberalJunkie (I): 7% PV, 61 EVs
Unpledged/Other: 31% PV, 139 EVs

Battle of the leftists. Several states elect unpledged electors in disgust or vote 3rd party. As Julio is slightly closer to the center than LiberalJunkie, he does well in most states, though LiberalJunkie wins a few Northeastern states, Maryland, and Hawaii.

Sorry about that.

- skip -

()

With social issues irrelevant, the race ends up revolving around SJoyce's foreign policy views, which are perceived as too radical. The more economically-oriented Julio wins in a landslide, though turnout in the South is very low.

Cool, I'm radical!

()
Snowstalker (D-PA) 274
SJoyceFla (I-FL) 264

()

Snowstalker 51% 329 EVs
Cathcon 48% 209 EVs

Cathcon doesn't fit the populist, anti-libertarian south, but the Rust Belt loves him, as he's a popular governor from Michigan. AZ, NV and CO continue trending democrat. SC, MT, GA and AZ are the closest states,

()

Cathcon: 317: 51.0%
Julio: 221: 48.2%

Popular Michigan Senator Cathcon wins the GOP Primary easily. Julio is popular amongst blue collar voters and Hispanics, but is less popular amongst middle class DLC'ers. Cathcon wins support from these groups in crucial states, tilting the election in his favour.

union people in the rust belt think Julio is Mexican and vote based on him taking "dur jurbs!"

()

The libertarian Democratic candidate Jbrases easily defeats republican British Dixie, broadly perceived as an extremist.

Shua (R-VA): 252
Presidente Ken Barbie (D-CA): 286

An extraordinarily close election. Ohio, Ohio, Ohio! The Democratic candidate Presidente Ken Barbie, a fiscal centrist, performs very well in the western United States. Shua, the Republican nominee carries Virginia, Florida, New Hampshire and all the Solid GOP states. While polls in Ohio indicate a narrow Shua lead in the lead up to November, on the actual election day a superior GOTV effort by Presidente Ken Barbie allows him to literally just pip Shua in the Ohio popular vote. Although Shua calls for a recount, Ken Barbie holds his lead. Nationwide however, Shua wins the popular by several thousand votes.

The Republican primary turns into a battle between Supersonic and Shua. Shua wins over the support of the establishment who thinks he is more electable while Supersonic gains support from conservative activists who were won over by his call to return to Reaganism.

Despite Shua consistently leading in polls nationally, the early primaries gave huge momentum to Supersonic.

()

Leading up to super Tuesday both picked up 4 more states each. Both hoped for decisive wins on super tuesday.

()

Super Tuesday over all was a huge victory for supersonic and nearly was enough to knock Shua out of the race.

()

Throughout the rest of march shua would have a tough tough time, the only thing keeping him in was a decent win in Illinois. April proved to be the month that saved Shua's campaign and sucked all the momentum out of Supersonic's. Shua won all but Wisconsin. For the first time in the race, Shua took the lead in the delegate count.

()

Supersonic hoped to still win by sweeping all the remaining southern and mountain west states and came close to if it were not for a razor thin shua win in NC. Soon all eyes were on Texas where supersonic would make his last stand. As the dust settled on that late June day, Super sonic was still standing, though barely. By now the popular vote, and the delegate count heavily favored Shua, only a win in California could change that. when all was said an done, Shua was the victor.

Hagrid - 390
Jbrase - 148

This is a battle between the traditional conservative and the libertarian... Jbrase probably wins those areas which are more sympathetic to genuine libertarians, but Hagrid dominates by being a more mainstream conservative.

You'll probably see high voter apathy from the centre and the left... with very low turnout.

polnut v. Hagrid

()

Polnut - 272
Hagrid - 266

A close election develops between two candidates not too out of the mainstream of American politics. The deciding state is Colorado, which very narrowly votes for Polnut, giving him the election.

Polnut vs. Ody

()

Ody: 270
Polnut: 268

()

Ody: 293
Reaganfan: 245

Ody does better in select parts of the west due to his social liberalism and economic moderation while Mike is very strong in the south, winning back all of the states Obama won in the region.

()

Reaganfan (R-OH): 224
Happy Warrior (D-MD): 314

A generic Democratic victory. Reaganfan's successful insurgency at the GOP primaries causes Tea Partiers, anti-establishment Republicans and southern conservatives to be hugely enthusiastic about the coming election and turnout in large numbers. In traditionally Republican states, Reaganfan works up big margins against Happy Warrior, the Democratic nominee. However, when it comes to swing states, the large conservative turnout cannot overcome the trend of independents, moderates and hispanics moving to Happy Warrior. Also helping the Democrat is that from his home state of Maryland, he can easily campaign in neighboring swing state Virginia. Reaganfan does however win his homestate of Ohio, albeit narrowly. All in all, a 'usual' election more or less.

Close states

Florida: 47.9%-49.1%
Ohio: 47.5%-49.6%
Iowa: 47.8%-49.9%
Virginia: 47.6%-50.1%

This is an interesting election between what I percieve to be a traditional conservative (SupersonicVenue) and a fairly moderate Democrat (HappyWarrior). What you'll tend to see here is depressed Democrat turnout amongst places like the Rust Belt, but a better showing for HappyWarrior in the West, where a more moderate Democrat would be appealing.

Here's the map I've put together.

()

SupersonicVenue: 272
HappyWarrior: 266

A very close election.

()

Governor A-Bob (R-CO) - 272 - 49.6%
Vice-President Nagas (D-VA) - 266 - 49.1%

A very, very close election. Governor A-Bob, the Republican nominee manages to use his economic conservatism to just pull the crucial swing state of New Hampshire into his column. Touting his socially moderate stances he manages to cause significant turnout amongst evangelicals fearful of the Vice-President which aids immensely in Iowa and Ohio. Moreover, his home state advantage allows him to, by 1,276 votes, take Colorado from Vice-President Nagas. This lucky combination just nets him an electoral college victory, although the result isn't known for two days after the election due to a recount in Colorado. What also harms the Vice-President is that one week before the election, an unfortunate 'October Surprise' comes about in the form of weak jobs numbers causing a small, but significant shift amongst undecided voters in key swing states. As seen from the results, this 'October Surprise' most probably cost Nagas the election.

()

A race that comes down to the rust belt, though Arizona is the deciding state. Supersonic wins the popular vote duh to the social conservative turnout that fears a President Nagas. Nagas however presents himself as the better option for blue-collar workers, thus winning Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

With the collapse of the two major parties, former D Senator Miles runs an independent campaign based on social conservatism and economic populism. The libertarian party also benefits from the collapse and chooses a moderate candidate, Averroes, to stand a chance against Miles. The election is very close and only ends at late night, when Arizona and Delaware called for Miles.

This is actually a tough one... me thinks Hockey benefits from very low GOP turnout in the South, due to Goldwater's social liberalism. It becomes an exercise in economics, who makes the stronger argument... I think Hockey wins that one.

269-269.

I could see several scenarios for this, but here's just one:

()
Goldwater- 313
Scott- 225
Goldwater prioritizes economic issues and thus makes inroads with moderates/suburbanites, helping him carry much of the Upper Midwest and gaining in other regions.  Goldwater's libertarisn streak and Scott's ties to the Northeast make Pennsylvania and especially New Hampshire two of the closest states in the race.  Ultimately, Scott's ties to the Northeast give him both states, but he is only awarded New Hampshire after a recount.

()

Scott - 452 EVs
Oldiesfreak - 86 EVs

Oldies makes some controversial remarks during his campaign that destroy his chances in the south & lead to a landslide victory for Scott.

()

Senator Oldiesfreak of Michigan and Governor Goldwater of Washington become the two main candidates in the Republican primary after winning Iowa and New Hampshire, respectively. Oldies leads in the polls nationally and attacks Goldwater on social issues, however opposition researchers for Goldwater's campaign dig up some controversial statements Oldies made about the South on an internet forum many years ago just days before the SC primary. Oldies wins SC just barely, even though he led by 25 points just a week ago. The race becomes even as the South deserts Oldies. By the end of the primaries Goldwater has a narrow lead, but there is talk among GOP superdelegates of a brokered convention with someone else as the nominee to placate social conservatives. Goldwater seals the nomination by promising to select a socially conservative running mate.

This would be a very interesting one.  Sorry if I did this one before:

Goldwater- 361
drj-177

Goldwater wins by a near-landslide margin by attacking drj as a left-wing extremist while appealing more to moderates than most Republicans.

The nomination of two libertarians by both major party tickets leads to the rise of a powerful third party nationalist, protectionist, radical centrist party. In the end, the third party does just well enough to come close to a victory in the EC, but ends up sending the election to the House instead. The House elects Goldwater president, owing to it's Republican majority.

1952.

The Democratic Party is in disarray as an unpopular war in Korea has made their incumbent President, Harry Truman, essentially unelectable to a third term. Having bowed out, the Democratic National Committee reaches out to and eventually convinces General Mung Beans, a second generation Korean-American and head of the successful operation to invade Normandy during World War II, to run as their nominee. The selection of the General solidifies both liberal and labor support (with his call to repeal Taft-Hartley and pursue an internationalist foreign policy well received) though causes a walkout of Southern delegates, upset with his strong position in favor of civil rights, as well as his not being white. The rump Southern delegations that desert the party do not nominate a separate ticket, but pledge themselves towards voting 'unpledged' in the general election.

The Republicans nominate Governor Windjammer of Maine, another second generation American, though of French Canadian descent. A 'Rockefeller Republican' and political moderate, Windjammer promises 'peace with dignity' and 'progressive conservatism' at home.

()

The election turned out to be far closer than anyone had expected, but in the end, Governor Windjammer won the White House in spite of losing the popular vote.

Senator TNF of Kentucky was the inevitable nominee of the Democrats when he gained endorsements from basically every Labor organization, drawing only the weakest of establishment competition. It was so bad that a Former Democrat, General Mung Beans, ran as a Republican and won on the message that he could beat the massive financial and organizational power of Senator TNF. The debate was vicious and divisive, and the map changed significantly, but the General narrowly lost to the stronger organization of Senator TNF.


Georgia was so close that there were three recounts, but TNF prevailed by over 1,000 votes.

Popular democrat kentucky governor wins in a tight race: 273-265
As a native son of kentucky, TNF overperforms democrats score in Kentucky and West Virginia, running as a pro-labour and a pro gun rights. Governor Maxwell (R-MT), running as a libertarian, successfully wins republican endorsement after their candidate, Chris Christie, dies because of his health problem. Both candidates are focusing on economy, that's why Maxwell succesfully wins Nevada, Colorado, and even democratic states like New Jersey, Maine and New Hampshire. Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia are the battleground states. Maxwell finally loses them because of his position on farm subsidies which allows the first socialist to win a presidential race.

1956.

Following a four years of relative peace that saw the Korean War drawdown and an armistice signed, plus relative prosperity at home (if within a shaky atmosphere with the explosion of civil rights issues on the homefront), President Windjammer (R-ME) sought a second term in the White House. Campaigning on his 'progressive conservatism', the President successfully reached out to normally Democratic-leaning groups like labor unions and black voters, both of whom were supportive of the President's stances on civil rights.

The Democratic field was wide open as most Democrats, supportive of the President's reforms, dared not challenge him. This a void opened that was ultimately filled by Oklahoma's conservative Democratic Governor, Maxwell. Governor Maxwell ran on a platform to the right of his Republican opponent, calling for tax reductions and overall spending reductions, as well as a more 'peaceful' foreign policy, as opposed to the interventionism of the administration.

On election day, the voters overwhelmingly re-elected the President, though the Governor managed to hold the South in the Democratic column.

TNF wins, partially thanks to victories in the likes of Indiana and Oklahoma, where enough conservative votes went to Huckabee to give the states to TNF.

1960.

With the popular President Windjammer (R-MT) unable to seek another term in the White House, naturally the Republican nomination would fall to the incumbent Vice President, Oldiesfreak of Michigan. A crusading civil rights activist in his own right, Vice President Oldiesfreak would campaign on his own "progressive conservative" credentials, while the Democrats would once again nominate a right-leaning Democrat, Senator Anton Kreitzer of Wyoming. Kreitzer would campaign mum on the issue of civil rights, preferring not to say too much for fear of upsetting Southern Democrats, a group he could not afford to alienate in his bid for the Presidency.

SCOTT DEFEATS DOUGLAS
The New York Times - 8th November of 1888
In a election whose outcome was clear from the beginning, Senator James "The Emperor" Scott of Connecticut won the 26th Election to President of the United States. Scott was strong in the traditional Republican strongholds in the Northeast and Midwest; and also made inroads into the Solid South due to his strong faith, as opposed to the Democrat Douglas, and his moderate positions on tariffs. Douglas suffered under President Clevelands unpopularity in the North; and also lost in the south, as many Bourbon Democrats percieved him far too liberal. In the end, he did not manage to win his home state of Ohio; and lost the states of the Upper South.

William Cranberry, a progressive Republican from Plymouth, Massachusetts, shakes up the Eastern party establishment and wins at the Convention.  He then goes on to win in a close election against Democratic Senator "X" Xavier of Ohio.  Both candidates promise to reign in the power of monopolies, but differ in their approach to the issue and on controversies such as Prohibition - Senator X calls for government action against the deleterious effects of imbibement, while Gov. Cranberry's connections to the Fruit Growers Association indicate a more relaxed attitude toward the hooch.

Tea Party favorite Congressman ElectionsGuy of Wisconsin defeats Establishment-backed Governor RR1997 of Iowa.

Popular Governor and Former minister Jeffrey Scott sweeped the Democratic nomination with ease, out-flanking Union Leader Teddy N. Fenderson of Kentucky, Former President John Polnut of Massachussets, Senator Adam Xanders (Mr. X) of Ohio, and Congressman Samuel W. Emill of New York. He picked Senator Isaac Spear to be his VP, noting his firey partisan rhetoric and his foreign policy skills.

Former Senator Errol Guy of the Republican party had no chance. He tried his best to pick of Scott's immense lead. Picking non-controversial House Minority Leader Murray Bannerman, a likable conservative, to his ticket, he nevertheless found it difficult to convince evangelical and religious voters he was one of them, after a firey primary against Maryland Senator Don Alfine that never quite fixed up. Scott won a convincing victory.

Mah519's social liberalism dosen't play well in the south, and Scott's southern roots, along with being devoutly religious, helps him in the south. Despite picking up some libertarian-leaning states, mah519 loses to Scott by a fairly big margin.

1984 Election:

After eight years of President Carter, former actor and governor of California, Ronald Regan, after having relocated to Iowa; won the Republican nomination for president against the candidate of 1980, George Bush. Governor Barney Badgate of Texas, a southern liberal with a strong appeal to working-class whites, despite being very liberal on social issues; was nominated by the Democrats and chose Vice President Mondale as his running mate. Badgate was successful in portraying Reagan as just caring for the profits of the rich, and that his "Vodoo Economics" would not strengthen the economic growth that had started in Carter's second period. Reagan tried to portray Badgate as a extreme left-winger, nearly communist, to which he just responded: "You really think a commie would have been elected in Texas?"
Badgate was able to hold great parts of the South, and he also won many northeastern states by relative big margins.

Republican Governor Tom Cranberry of Oregon, a progressive within a party trending rightward, nevertheless manages to secure the Republican nomination with the aid of the party's eastern establishment. To balance out the ticket, he is joined by conservative Iowa Governor Richard Roberts.

Democratic Senator (and Senate Majority Leader) Brian Gates of Texas likewise wins the Democratic nomination on a moderate liberal platform, emphasizing his promise to "keep Washington working for the common man," emphasizing his record as Senate Majority Leader as proof of his acumen for compromise. His running mate is Tennessee Senator Maxwell, a noted Democratic conservative and non-interventionist.

The election between Senators Terrance Nelson Fitzgerald of the Workers' Party and Barry Goldwater III of the Owners' Party offered one of the sharpest contrasts in the history of American Presidential elections. Extending beyond economics, the ideological gulf between the two candidates manifested itself in foreign policy as well, with Senator Goldwater arguing the America must take an interventionist role in world affairs if it is to promote its own economic interests, as well as the interests of human rights. Senator TNF, on the other hand, decried practically all military intervention as imperialism, going so far as to use the slogan "No War but the Class War". Even on social issues, where the two candidates more or less agreed in practice, there was a substantial difference in approach: Senator Goldwater embraced bourgeois liberal morality, while Senator TNF argued that social policy must be subordinate to economic policy. 

In the end, a significant number of voters felt that they were not represented by either candidate, contributing to the map that you see below:

()

Senator Barry Goldwater III: 249 Electoral Votes
Senator Terrance Nelson Fitzgerald: 249 Electoral Votes
NOTA: 40 Electoral Votes

As you can see, each candidate received exactly the same number of votes in the Electoral College. Since neither had a majority, the election is thrown to the House of Representatives. What happens now is anyone's guess...

Senator Matthew O Politico from Missouri recieves the Democratic nomination with his promise of "cross-party, non-partisan work on what's best for America!". He goes on to choose the Southern and relatively centrist Democrat Miles Landrieu as running mate. The Republicans in turn also nominate a moderate ticket, with Ronald Raynolds of Iowa and Thomas Rockefeller of Maine on the ballot. The election sees little controversy and low turnout, and is narrowly won by Politico by delievering his home state to the Democrats.

House Speaker Cranberry (D-OR): 310
Senator RR1997 (R-IA): 228

President Grover Cleveland ended his presidency in recession, and so both parties were looking to distance themselves from his administration. The Republicans opposed his policies vehemently, nominating old Republican moneybundler Charles Cranberry, who picked reform governor Alfred F. Jones for his Vice President.

Old frontrunners from the Democratic party left in fear when Teddy Falkenthal, a one term Senator from Kentucky, spoke at the convention with such flair that the convention floor put him in the nomination in a landslide. He picked academic Henry Fly, who agreed with his position on war and economics, but held the south together (who feared Falkenthal's civil rights record would doom the Democrats).

Falkenthal's grassroots organization did its best, but couldn't compete with being outspent 10-1. Cranberry won election narrowly.

2008 Presidential Election

Goldwater/Mitch Daniels: 239 (46.3% of the popular vote)
Windjammer/Chuck Schumer: 299 (50.1% of the popular vote)

Outgoing president George W. Bush will leave office as one of the most unpopular in history, following an economic downturn. While the election always leaned Democratic, it is surprising the margin tightened in the last two weeks. Windjammer, an establishment Democrat who is somewhat of a social conservative, upset and defeated Barack Obama in the primaries. Many progressive liberals were unhappy, but many still voted for him. Goldwater is a libertarian-leaning Republican who ran on a very fiscally conservative platform, de-emphasizing any social issues, and a strong America abroad.

With the result, Goldwater had unparamount strength in the West (especially) and Great Plains, even carrying Oregon and his home state of Washington by a stunning 8 points, while only losing California by 7. However, Windjammer did have unusually good strength in the south, especially the southeast, where he historically and stunningly won SC by less than 1%. He won West Virginia by 6 points, and lost Kentucky and Arkansas by similar margins. While many New Englanders weren't happy with Windjammer, they still picked him pretty overwhelmingly. Overall, it was a wash of regional over performances and under performances. Windjammer's win can be attributed to Goldwater's under-investment in southeastern states, like Georgia, Virginia, and Florida.

Ultimately this was a battle between who could out-libertarian who for a long-time....until foreign policy came to head. Non-interventionist ElectionsGuy claimed that the country had been through too many wars and that too many civil liberties had been quashed  in pursuit of winning "the war of the week". Goldwater much like his namesake wanted terrorists fought at all costs,lest they win and no one to help the country in the end.

Naturally this meant that traditionally social liberal or very rural states and areas favored ElectionsGuy, while places with more infrastructure that sought to benefit from anything to protect international trade or had heavy military presence favored Goldwater.

Ultimately Goldwater came through by a "law-and-order" theme where foreign policy is concerned.

Polarization reaches the final conclusion: Atheist Socialism vs Conservative Christian Populism. Naturally this throws out the Moderate Sell-out parties in the eyes of the people.

In spite of a libertarian/liberal truce in the name of trying to stop a theocracy, ultimately Govenor Schafly managed to appeal to enough of Appalachia to clinch Pennsylvania and also retook Iowa...negating all Socialist gains in otherwise conservative places such as Montana, the Dakotas, or Nebraska.

Senator L.D. Smith (D-VA) / Senator Walter Mondale (D-MN) 53% 380EV
Senator Thomas S.N.J (R-NJ) / Congressman John Schmitz (R-CA) 43% 158EV

With president Ford's popularity waning, the staunch conservative Thomas S.N.J. challenges him in the republican primary, stressing a return to morality after the fall of Nixon and opposition to the turbulent social movements of the 1960's and 1970's. His mobilization of the religious right lead to a tsunami in the primary and the shocking defeat of president Ford, to the dismay of establishment and moderate republicans.
With the spectre of Watergate and a candidate who seemed to many as reactionary, it was an ideal time for the Democrats to retake the White House. They nominated L.D. Smith of Virginia, who could advocate for staunchly progressive economic policy without coming off as the candidate of acid and abortions as McGovern had. While Democrats feared that Mormonism would overshadow Smith's qualities, during the campaign he downplayed his religious differences and emphasized how he shared the values of most Americans.
The defection of moderate Republicans allowed him to sweep the Northern states and most of the West, giving him a clear victory. Despite being a populist representing a southern state, his religious differences and the fact that he was a transplant limited his appeal to southern whites.

This is a very interesting race between a mainstream (slightly more socially conservative), but Mormon Democrat... and a Libertarian Republican without a base in any of the traditionally powerful GOP factions. There will be some cross-over in safer Democratic states with social liberals voting for Goldwater and moderate GOPers in states like MO, IN etc voting for Morm over Goldwater.

Goldwater picks up most of the GOP territory due to the (R) next to his name and a likely Southern conservative running-mate. But MormDem has a natural advantage and pretty much runs the table of the toss-up states. A slightly depressed right-wing base reduces turnout. There was a strong right wing third party candidate in some random states.

Senator Polnut wins the Democratic Primary with ease. The Republican Party is fractured and with a divided convention, they fail to nominate a candidate.

2004
When people said "9/11 changed everything", they were right. President Goldwater's War on Terror charged the political landscape, with the advent of the "national security voter". Goldwater's fiscal conservatism, hawkish foreign policy, and social liberalism created a foil in the populist campaign of Mr. Joseph Mormdem, a former Utah Representative who rallied a strange coalition of doves, labor, and Southerners to win the Democratic nomination. With Mormdem being smeared as an anti-Israel, anti-security isolationist, Goldwater was able to make gains in the North and even take New York in what pollsters called the "9/11 bump". While he won re-election, his chances were threatened by a successful campaign by Mormdem to bring in traditionally Republican voters in the South and West. Election gimmicks such as Goldwater's proposal to legalize gay marriage and Mormdem's claim that he would seek to overturn Roe v. Wade were able to shift social issues voters from their typical parties, radically changing the electoral map.

I'm trying to bring these threads back, but I just can't figure out how this election should go. If anything, Shua and TN Volunteer should be on the same ticket. :P

Hmmm...I'll give it a go:


Background:

Republicans:
With faltering campaigns for Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, John Kasich, and Rand Paul, both the moderate wing and the libertarian wing were open for independently-minded Virginia Governor James Shua. Governor Shua had the endorsements of Kasich and Paul, which led to him winning the New Hampshire primary. At Super Tuesday he won 8 states, becoming the front-runner. After sweeping the March 15 Super 2sday primaries he was virtually declared the nominee-elect.

Democrats:
Independent Representative T. N. Volunteer decided to run as a moderate, populist Democrat, and after finishing a close third in Iowa won an upset victory in New Hampshire, due to a surprising turnout of angry women in his favor. He combined his independent appeal with his Southern appeal to win big on Super Tuesday, shutting out Hillary Clinton, who dropped out and endorsed him. Representative Volunteer never lost a state after that point.

The Election:

()

Governor James Shua/Governor John Kasich - 271 EVs - 47.87%
Representative T. N. Volunteer/Secretary Hillary Clinton - 267 EVs - 48.38%
Senator Bernie Sanders/Dr. Jill Stein - 0 EVs - 2.74%

Governor Shua ran a moderate yet somewhat libertarian campaign, winning voters in the west and northeast but losing conservative voters in the south due to Volunteer's populist campaign. However, he was still able to win in Virginia, due to the fact it's his home state. Volunteer failed to win his home state of Tennessee, and narrowly lost both New Hampshire and Florida, therefore losing the electoral vote despite narrowly winning the popular vote. Insurgent independent-turn-Green-partier Bernie Sanders was considered a factor in this loss.

Governor T. N. Volunteer/Governor Steve Bullock - 402 EVs - 50.64%
Governor Leinad Daniels/Representative Peter King - 136 EVs - 33.19%
Senator Ted Cruz/Representative Jody Hice - 0 EVs - 13.88%
()
Governor Leinad of Georgia, winning the nomination after a tough primary, named New York Representative Peter King as his running mate, as an olive branch to the establishment. Meanwhile, Tennessee Governor T.N. Volunteer meanwhile named fellow Governor Steve Bullock as his running mate, and ran a populist campaign, with a concession to the base here and there. Ted Cruz, the runner up to the nomination, was unhappy at not having won, and was doubly angry when Peter King was named VP candidate. He thus ran as an Independent, siphoning votes away from the Republican ticket. He won the support of many tea-partiers, many of whom thought Leinad had done a corrupt bargain of sorts with the establishment, and were never that thrilled with him in the first place.
On Election Day, it was a landslide for the Democratic ticket. Ted Cruz' candidacy was a boon to Democrats, managing to take enough votes away from Leinad to cost him Texas, Indiana, even Leinad's home state of Georgia, which voted Democratic by more than 4 points (it did not help that Cruz's running mate was from the Peach State). Vote splitting allowed T.N. Volunteer to carry his home state of Tennessee, which had not voted Democratic in 20 years. All in all, the election saw the best performance for a Democrat in the Electoral College since 1964, beating Obama and Clinton's two landslides.
The Democratic ticket was even able to win a majority of the vote, a suprising accomplishment in a three way race.

()

Senator Tim Turner/Senator Jim Webb - 362 EVs - 53.1%
Governor Leinad Daniel/ Representative Peter King - 176 EVs - 45.8%

Senator Tim Turner runs a populist campaign with the Mississippi river forming his base. Governor Leinad emphasizes economic issues and his ability to get bipartisan support in Congress. Republicans over-perform with Hispanics, but under-perform badly with Southern whites and Texans. Campaign has very high turnout for both parties.

Democratic Primary:

()

Senator Tim Turner and Governor John Dixie "Southern" Gothic duke it out in a heated primary that becomes a primary of character and personality rather than actual issue divides. They face off with Bernie Sanders, a more progressive guy more enticing to the Northeast. Ultimately, Governor Gothic cannot shed his image as a provincial candidate and Senator Sanders is of course Sanders...this allows Senator Turner to sweep pretty much all the primaries and caucuses after pulling a convincing second between the clashes of Gothic and Sanders.

The progressive wing of the Democratic party is purged under the Trump presidency, and the Democrats are forced to nominate two moderates lest their party become officially labeled an enemy of the state. The divide is mainly regional with Virginia Governor Lehi Dallin Smith doing well in the mid-Atlantic and West, and Louisiana Senator Samuel Beauregard Gotham cleaning it up in the South.

()

()

Senator L.D. Smith runs a campaign focusing on economic issues and being socially pragmatic. Portrays himself as some one willing to cooperate and work with the Republicans in general and the Religious Right in particular. House Minority Leader Thomas "Biscuit" Biscotti runs a very liberal campaign, advocating for the rights of labor and industry. Wins over upper New England the Midwest while Senator Smith takes the South and the  Mountain West.

Senator Clark Kent (R-CT)/Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) 269 EVs (48.6%)

Gothic ran a populist campaign, winning over many Southern voters yet struggling to turn out progressives, while Kent ran a socially moderate campaign which did well in the north and west but hurt him with conservatives in the south.

Kent ended up winning in the Republican-controlled house.

( Peter King is kinda goofy. I was just taking Tim Turner's suggestion for your running mate :) )

()

Governor Daniel Leinad runs a Rand Paul-esque campaign and sweeps the West and uses Appalachia as his firewall. Senator Clark Kent  wins over the Northeast and the Plains, presenting himself as a traditionalist compared to the Governor's libertarianism. Senator Kent gets the backing of the party establishment and receives the nod at the RNC.

Governor Leinand (R-GA) 249Ev 48%
Southern Gothic (D-LS) 285Ev 51%

(forgot to adjust some % shading for Kentucky)

Leninand runs a libertarian Rand Paul like campaign, with Gothic running as a fiscally progressive socially moderate campaign. With no third parties allowed, many southern Democrats return to their party with Leninand picking up many Independents in states such as Colorado and New Hampshire.

P123 narrowly defeats ElectionsGuy by racking up delegates in the most populous states. ElectionsGuy wins California, but it's too little, too late.

The candidates similarity on most issues leads to the election primarily being focused on economics, where Smith's moderate stances wins out over Election Guy's more hardline right wing views.

Derpist despite not holding any political office before surprisingly won the Dem primaries. He quickly attacked the Obama administration for selling out  to the elites in this country . On the domestic and economic promised to raise the min wage, raise taxes on multinational corporations , and enact campaign finance reforms. He also attacked the Obama admin immigration policy , and saying that illegal immigrants depress wages for working class folks and benefit corporations , and promised to secure the border by building a wall deporting illegals and end all the unfair trade deals causing jobs to go overseas. Lastly he attacked the establishment for staying in a cold war mindset and promised to improve relations with Russia. He attacks moderate hero calling him a war monger , and the establishment we wanna defeat and mentions the fact that he didnt win the most delegates in the GOP primary , and infact lost to trump but worked with GOP to win at the convention calling that elitest. 

On the GOP side Governor of Oregon Moderate Hero campigned on drastically cutting the budget, attacking the deficit as bankrupting the country. He also promised to cut taxes for the middle class saying that anyone making less then 125,000 should not pay more then 20% of their income in taxes. He also announced that subsidies to big corporations should end and promises to reform the welfare system so people on welfare get job training . His education policy was cutting spending of worthless degrees and using those funds to fund trade schools to bring back blue collar jobs He also planned to limit the size of government by repealing the patriot act, leaving issues like pot, and many other crime related issues to the states.  He also called for a WW2 type of coalition to destroy groups like ISIS . He said his policy will take out terrorist training camps  where ever they exist but unlike before not seek a policy of regime change which means we will destroy the camps in individual countries while leaving their governments in place.

Results: In a major change from 2012 moderate hero won over 2/3 of the hispanic vote , won 25% of the black votes, 70% of asians but did very poorly with working class whites which caused the Mountain West to flip and taking back a lot of the south

Franklin Roosevelt decides not to run for a third term.  Popular business magnate Edgar Royce Lewis, called The Piston for his famous piston cars, takes the nomination.  Lewis is a follower of the late Huey Long, and advoacates for many fascist and socialist positions.  Most controversially, he has suggested the conquest of Mexico.  This has caused some to label him "Der Piston", later shortened to "Der Pist".

His opponent is Oregon Governor Arlow Mo'Drat, a moderate Republican who is known for his strong interventionist stance.  He is outclassed by the firebrand "Der Pist".  "Der Pist" sweeps the nation on election day.  Mo'Drat gets only 69 electoral votes.

Governor Kingo Leopeon (R-NJ)

Running on finding a peaceful end to the Vietnam war, and a moderate course in american politics for stability and bringing the nation together, his message of unity appeals to moderate southerners and northerner alike. He campaigns on managing Johnson's programs efficiently and make sure that it does not get out of control.

Representative Funk Comasle (D-PA)

An activist, vocal against the Vietnam war manages to win the democratic convention. He supports expansive measures to uplift the poor and downtrodden, beheviently supports the war in poverty, and beheventily opposes the Vietnam war and the Johnson's administration's handling of it. He supports peace with the soviets and is seen as a peace candidate. Polls showed him losing the race handily at the start, so he embarked on a more populist message based upon the working class, to get voters back from Wallace and Leopeon while standing firm in opposition to the Vietnam War. He opposes Busing and Affirmative Action, in order to get more working class votes, saying that only upper-class latte liberals support it.

Main reason I posted was because I was curious what me vs Intell would look like.

the election of 1932, coming so soon after the beginning of the great depression, marked a monumental shift in american politics. president santander's democratic party collapsed miserably, failing to make the runoff for the first time in decades. the republican party, under whose control congress had been picking constant fights with santander, also faced colossal losses. instead, the runoff was between two unexpected outsiders: mayor a. newton canadaland of milwaukee, running with a reärranged successor to the progressive party of roosevelt and lafollette, and john clash, the leader of the national american people's party, a militant right-populist xenophobic group taking its inspiration from similar movements in europe.

in the end it was a landslide. with resounding support from (most of) the political and business establishment, crushing margins with immigrants, women, and minority groups of all stripes (as well as the grudging support of louisiana's huey long, who had a longstanding personal feud with clash), mayor canadaland became the first president since the jacksonian era to not belong to either the republican or democratic parties.

2032 Democratic Primary:
()
Fmr. Gov. Samuel Gourdon(D-LA): 60.6%
Sen. Peter Aziz(D-WA): 35.7%
Others: 3.7%

Gourdon was essentially a left-wing populist who was very dovish. Gourdon invented the term "paleoliberalism," referring to liberal populism combined with non-interventionism and fair trade. Aziz ran as a more right-leaning proponent of a more neoconservative outlook, along with supporting both TPP and "free and fair" trade. Aziz did best with left-libertarians, neoconservative Democrats, and independents. Gourdon's general popularity was left untainted as he contrasted himself with the ideas Aziz proposed, generally without directly challenging Aziz personally.

Democratic Primary, 2020

()

Governor Cedric "Comrade" Funk of Pennsylvania and Representative Paris E. Eberhardt of North Carolina were too surprisingly liberal choices, even for the Democratic Party. Because of the near lack of difference ideologically, it was character and personality that played out. Eberhardt portrayed herself as a down-to-earth Southern gal which appealed well to rural areas, Funk ran a Sanders-esque campaign, which helped him in the Northeast. The contest was neck and neck all the way to California, which Eberhardt won thanks to the Inland Empire.

Hillary Clinton gets indicted while Bernie Sanders dies from a stroke. Without the two major candidates participating, the Democratic primary became a fight between two dark horses. Congressman L.D. Smith was a mildly socially conservative populist candidate who aimed to win the election by bringing back Reagan Democrats into the fold. Meanwhile, Congresswoman Melissa Peebles of North Carolina ran largely as a Sanders replacement, though she avoided the socialist label at all costs. Finally, there was Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island who was entirely insignificant. Peebles made some impressive early wins, but Smith's appeal to Reagan Democrats worked wonderfully, especially as Fmr. Governor Jeb Bush of Florida won the Republican nomination in early April and announced his support for full and immediate amnesty as well as full support for acceptance of Syrian refugees. Many conservative Republicans bolted for Smith, giving him upset wins in western states where Peebles was expected to win instead. And so L.D. Smith clinched the 2016 Democratic nomination, becoming the 2nd Mormon in U.S. history to successfully represent a major political party for President after Mitt Romney in 2012.

In a strange parallel to the election of 1896, the Libertarian Party and the Republican party collaborate to nominate a joint ticket. The Mountain West and parts of Upper New England swing over to the Republican party for the first time in a while.

2016 Dem Primary
()
Senator Bevan Tozerow (VA)'s candidacy started as a practical joke that got out of hand, but he pressed forward and made it competitive with Senator Charles X. Smith (MA), who was the favorite to win the nomination. Tozerow mostly campaigned in relatively conservative states. An upset win in New Jersey left the nomination in doubt well into July. At the convention, Tozerow won the nomination with the minimum of 2,383 delegates on the first ballot. He went on to lose narrowly to President Leon King of the Republican Party.
Smith goes on to go against Senator Emily Peebleton in the 2020 Dem primary.

()
Sen. Charles X. Smith - 60.9%
Sen. Emily Peebleton - 39.1%

Smith won with a coalition of moderates, center-left progressives, and left-libertarians ideology-wise and young people 18-30, Southern blacks and Hispanics aged 18-45, and won the Western caucuses with the base. While Senator Peebleton received endorsements from Sanders and Warren, the more moderate members of their parties managed to overcome that far-left alliance. With Governor Gavin Newsom as his running-mate, Senator Smith goes on to face the popular President Leon King.

()

Eric "King" Poleon (I-AR): 283 EV, 48.7%
Travis Noah Volunteer (I-TN): 255 EV, 47.9%

This was quite tough, since these two seem somewhat ideologically similar. Since Kingpoleon seems a bit to the left of TN, I saw him doing better among self-described liberals, as well as urban voters (and the Northeast, for obvious reasons.) TN did better among rural voters, as well as those in the rust belt.

Both posters very similar ideologically, Washington Governor xingkerui becomes the overwhelming establishment favorite for fear of New York Senator YaBoyNY being too easily cast as the "coastal liberal elite" candidate by Republicans, limiting his appeal to caucuses and certain coastal states.

Peebs does well with women, East Coasters, and young people. xīngkěruì performs well among some minority groups, Westerners, and (due to Peebs painting him as the moderate in the race) disenchanted Democrats in states like Oklahoma and West Virginia.

()

Rep. Scarlet appeals to western voters, Hispanics, and populists. Sen. Kěruì runs as the "establishment" candidate and does well in the Northwest.

-Happy South Dakota Farmers break 100-0 for Kěruì and he wins in a landslide.
-Scarlet wins her birth state of Idaho despite the fact that Idaho is technically in the Northwest.
-Kěruì wins Montana because parts of it are pretty Northwestern.
-Utah would have voted for Scarlet, but Kěruì dug up footage of Scarlet saying that God is fictional.

Closest state: California.

2020 Presidential Election

()

Senator Senator Eva Green (D-WA): 64%
Representative Omeaga Scarlet (D/S-AZ): 27%
Senator John Faceas (D-PA): 8%

As Hillary Clinton, sadly passed away in office, it was left to her VP, Tim Kaine to finish the rest of her term. Though he could have seeked a term in his own right, he decided against it, opting to retire. The democratic party was split on the legacy on Hillary Clinton, and her sucessor Tim Kaine. Senator Eva Green, a female senator from the state of Washington, ran as her sucessor, and pointed out the accomplishment of Hillary Clinton, such as immigration reform, the continuation of obamacare, and more free trade deals.

On the other hand, a more radical, socialist faction, opposed her legacy. Calling her a sell out to wall street, financial backers, and the Isreal-neo conservative agenda. Led by Arizona representative Omeaga Scarlet, who views her legacy negatively. However he fails to gain traction, due to his controversial statements, on polygamy and prostitution to name two.

Disastified, with what he calls two of the same latte-liberal on the high throne, former populist senator, John Faceas of Pennsylvania, runs as a protest against these two candidates, calling for reversal of trade deals, stopping illegal immigration, lowering taxes, and a working man not elitist democratic party. He manages to do quite well with disenchanted democrats, in rural, working class areas.

Democratic Primary

()

Intell (55.79%)
L.D. Smith (43.9%)

Intell enters the primary race as the establishment favorite for the Democratic nomination for president. L.D. Smith runs an insurgent campaign as a Blue Dog conservative Democrat. Millions of people (particularly in Appalachia) who are socially conservative and fiscally left-wing, vote in a Democratic primary again for the first time in a generation. Smith sees his most lopsided victories in the West, especially in states with huge Mormon populations. Ultimately, however, and despite the fact that his campaign brought millions of "dixiecrats" into the process, there simply was no room in the modern Democratic Party for a conservative Democrat. Intell is coronated as the Democratic nominee for president.

Let's switch things up a little...

FNN, aka Fake News Network, releases their day before the 2024 election today. Heatcharger currently has the advantage with a total of 258 electoral votes. MT Treasurer is trailing behind with just 179 electoral votes locked in. 101 states are up for grabs.

()

()

Govenor Heatcharger (D-VA) starts out as the establishment-backed favorite and a massive fundraising advantage. However, he faces a strong challenge from recently elected Senator OneJ (D-MS), who draws enthusiastic support from progressives and young people. Sen. OneJ shows particular strength in his home region, the Deep South, and also does very well in the West, particularly in caucus states, while Gov. Heatcharger remains strong in much of the Midwest, as well the Southwest and Appalachia. In the end, OneJ narrowly wins, though he decides to pick Heatcharger as his running mate to unite the party, after a very contentious primary.

()

Senator xīngkěruì (D-WA) enters the race early and builds up his Western firewall as he appears to be the unchallenged frontrunner. However, freshman Congressman OneJ (D-MS) starts gaining regional prominence in the South and Midwest by running as the true heir to Obama. Xingkerui dominates early in Iowa and New Hampshire, but OneJ's huge win in SC starts his romp in the South, and racks up delegates there in bunches. The two trade victories across the country, but following Xingkerui's controversial comments about the state of Wisconsin and his subsequent losses in WI, IN, and NY, OneJ looks poised to take the nomination. To the contrary however, xingkerui's Western firewall holds, and his massive victory in California makes him the Democratic nominee.

()

Heatcharger (D-VA) became the first candidate to announce his run in July for the presidency on the Democratic side and was the Establishment favorite for a while.

However, Xingkěruì (D-WA) announced his bid a month later and made considerable gains in the polls representing the major Progressive candidate.

Early on, Xingkěruì took advantage of his momentum built and won Iowa and Nevada. Heatcharger won South Carolina signaling home region advantage. The two battled it out until the very end and it became clear that the winner would be Xingkěruì. But, the nominee decided to choose Heatcharger as his running mate to face the Republican opponents in the general election.

()

OneJ develops a minority and WWC coalition to take out establishment favorite heatcharger. While Iowa is narrowly won and NH is handily lost, the stride is hit in Nevada, and besides a Split South and a Mid-Atlantic-Ozark-Appalachia lockout...everything else goes in his favor.

Democratic primary:

LD Smith does best out west and in socially conservative Appalachia, and with OneJ largely replicating the Clinton coalition.

()

OneJ wins 323 - 215 largely based on stronger performance with socially liberal northern rural Whites compared to HRC, despite home state bumps by LD Smith in VA and CA.

In a showdown of two scandal-free candidates from the most liberal state in the country, family values takes precedence in this election. RFayette positions himself as the candidate you'd want to get a beer with while MormDem focuses on bread-and-butter kitchen table issues while also trying to outflank RFayette on cultural conservatism. RFayette clearly has the advantage with those voters though.

MormDem recaptures much of the Midwest while RFayette runs up the score in the Bible Belt as he breaks through with black evangelicals by going on a church tour across the South, but MormDem runs a Western-centric campaign attempting to undercut the Republican firewall. Last minute Trafalgar polls come out showing MormDem leading in Alaska and Arizona, but the RFayette campaign doesn't believe it, instead, tries to shore up the bellwether states of Pennsylvania and Florida. Results start coming in, and MormDem runs far ahead of the normal Democrat out West, and although RFayette neutralizes the Democratic vote sink in California, RFayette becomes the first Republican to win the popular vote and lose the election.

Senator L.D. Smith (D-CA) / Governor Steve Bullock (D-MT) - 294 EV - 49.0%
Televangelist RFayette (R-CA) / Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) - 244 EV - 49.5%

()

The Democratic Party doubles down on the Clinton strategy and nominates a third way centrist, Senator Heath Changer of Virginia. The senator runs on a platform of social liberalism and pragmatic, centrist economic planning.

Meanwhile, the Republicans give in to the demands of the social conservative wing and nominate former fire and brimstone preacher, Representative Robert Fayette of California.  The Representative's nomination brings the party platform a few steps to the left on economics and a leaps and bounds to the right on cultural and social issues.

Rep. Robert Fayette (R-CA)/Frmr. Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)- 295 EV- 50.2%

Heatcharger/RINO Tom (Democratic-Republican Party): 51.5%, 324 EV
Southern Gothic/Sanchez (United People's Party): 47.3%, 214 EV

with the only two significant candidates representing the left fringe and the right fringe of the democratic party, the 2020 primaries developed some interesting dynamics. most establishment figures and groups (the congressional black caucus, congressional leaders schumer and pelosi, former president obama, … the 'most' is not an exaggeration) not only refrained from endorsing either candidate, but floated the idea of a latecoming compromise candidate until well into the race (long after it stopped beïng at all feasible).

publicly, at least. but after rep. antonio's landslide win in the california primary (which, this year, occupied the fifth-earliëst slot in the calendar - after ia/nh/nv/sc and a week before super tuesday), money and experiënced operatives quiëtly began flooding in to sen. goth's campaign.

in the end, this substantial, but covert, support failed to overcome rep. antonio's hypermotivated support from the grassroots, protesters, etc, but the race remained close throughout, and online discussions on the race were apocalyptically vitriolic.

TN Volunteers runs as a Republican; wins in landslide; NH smites him.

()

Senator TN Volunteer (R-MT) fuses the Ron Paul movement with the Trump coalition while also cutting into the evangelical base of the Republican Party, leaving Congressman Silent Cal (R-FL) with very little support outside of upscale Republicans, giving TNVol the nomination.

Heatcharger (D-VA) and Silent Cal (R-FL) end up in a hard-fought battle of ideologies. On election night, it ends up being, as expected, one of the closest races in U.S. history. While 14 states are decided by less than 5%, three states in particular remain too close to call well into the morning.

()

In the early hours of the morning, North Carolina is called for Silent Cal, with a margin of just 0.7%. About an hour after that, Wisconsin is called for Heatcharger, his margin being only 0.5%. That leaves Pennsylvania, where Heatcharger has a lead of just 1,600 votes. It remains uncalled for some time to come. As a batch of absentee ballots come in, Heatcharger's lead increases to 1,900, leading him to declare victory in the state, though Silent Cal insists that the race is not over, and that all votes must be counted. After all votes have been tallied, Heatcharger's lead shrinks back to about 1,700, leading Silent Cal to request a recount. About two weeks later, the recount is completed, and while Silent Cal gains several hundred votes from the recount, he remains more than 1,600 votes behind Heatcharger. As a result, Silent Cal concedes to Heatcharger, though the country remains intensely divided, with many conservatives protesting.

Governor Xing Kerui of Washington manages to get the Democratic nomination and faces Fmr. HHS Sec Rob Fayette of California . One of them runs a rather centrist campaign trying to tackle the Sunbelt, the other ran a "compassionate conservative" sort of campaign.

Most of the election was pretty straightforward (with the only notable exception being Alaska which Gov. Kerui worked absurdly hard on in the last week after Mr. Fayette let slip a gap about ending the Permanent Fund.), except for Pennsylvania and Nevada. The former was marred by controversy over "voter suppression" that may have artificially lowered the numbers of Rui voters in Philadelphia and Erie. It certainly didn't help that the pundits kept calling it back and forth towards Rui and Fayette as returns went westward.

As for Nevada, Clark went one way, the other counties went the other...except for Washoe, where a casino worker's strike in Reno lowered turnout and caused general chaos in the polls.

Nothing budged for a week. But then finally, by 6,000 votes Nevada was called for Governor Kerui. But Pennsylvania was not to be so simple. Courts argued and argued for a good month. Ultimately it took The House to decide, and they gave it to Mr. Fayette, thus giving him the Presidency.

CXSmith - 333
Peebs - 205

Because of the relative ideological similarity between the two candidates, there is a lot of idiosyncrasies in this map.  CXSmith gained a big advantage in the Northeast, but Peebs's social liberalism limited the home field advantage to the Carolinas, with turnout being rather low in the rest of the South, with those EVs being largely split.  Smith gained the votes of a lot of "pro-business" organizations and libertarian Mountain Westerners, but with Peebs outperforming Sanders among Midwestern whites and Hispanics in the Southwest. 

it must have been REALLY close because I outperformed Sanders (at least given the map)

RFayette (R): 267
Peebs (D): 262

We can now project, with 99.94% of precincts reporting, that RFayette is the apparent winner of the state of Wisconsin. This may be subject to a recount, as the vote is currently extremely close.

RFayette (R): 1,389,222

Peebs vs. RFayette

After several recounts, the final certification of Colorado's election results is in. Peebs won the state by a historically thin margin. RFayette is expected to give a concession speech this evening.

Peebs (D): 1,302,716
RFayette (R): 1,302,697

Peebs is elected President by 19 votes. The popular vote total was also razor-thin; it first appeared that RFayette would win the popular vote by around 100,000 votes but as the last urban precincts came in, Peebs was pushed over the edge, winning the popular vote by 17,809 votes according to the latest count.

RFayette vs. JTC

Despite Fayette scraping Nevada by around a percent, JTC wins over the rust belt, and WCW to win back WI, MI, PA, and nearly scraping back IA. JCT would also win Florida, as Fayette would probably seem toxic to voters in the major cities, and also scrapes NE-2 by less than 1%

Fayette (R-CA): 235 46.2%

Senator Loki (D-NY) 49%
Governor Cuber (D-MO) 48%

Because they agree on pretty much everything, it is style where the battle is won. Loki runs on a hit-the-minorities strategy, Cuber aims for WWCs. Ultimately, it is narrow victory in California that gives Loki the delegate clinch.

L.D. Smith: 324 EVs 57% PV
Speaker Loki: 214 EVs 43% PVs
Smith runs on an economically populist and socially conservative platform. That causes him to lose his home state of California, but he makes up for it in the heartland. Loki runs as a liberal with an emphasis on social issues. That rallies the socially liberal base in the Northeast, Rocky Mountains, and West Coast, but he is crushed in the rust belt.

Imagine if you had given ME-02 to the dark blue....And then have made the light blue red.

Skip.

I think the map would look something like this (with Chips as the R).
