Hoo boy. This one's gonna be tough.
After an easy win in the Democratic primaries, Senator Julio selects Rep. FallenMorgan as his running mate, hoping to tap into a relatively apathetic far-left bloc. However, FallenMorgan proves to be a Palinesque figure, energizing the left, but turning off independents. Moderate New York governor Averroes Nix leaves the party in disgust and attaches himself to President Supersonic's bid (Vice President Jbrase did not wish to run for reelection), and the Republican ticket sweeps the vote. In one of the most stunning upsets of Election Night, favorite son Nix narrowly manages to give the Republicans the state of New York.
