Post the map of an election between the two preceding posters

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

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.

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.

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%

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.

Scott (D-CT) : 357
Supersonic (R-NC) : 181

Scott avoids social issues and crushes me.

HPJ (Independence Party-IN): 218. 44.2%
TNF (Populist Party-KY): 282. 47.1%
Generic Candidate (Conservative Party-SC): 38. 6.9%

In an alternate reality America, the nation is divided between the centre-right, socially moderate Independence Party and the economically left wing Populist Party which tends to avoid social issues. TNF is able to lead a coalition of working class whites, minorities and liberals to win the outer south, most of the Northeast and parts of the Pacific Coast. HPJ is seen as too moderate and wishy-washy for most Independence Party voters (moderates, middle class voters, higher educated persons) and the lower turnout harms him. In the Deep South and Utah, a minor third party, the Conservatives, a strong social conservative evangelical group, manages to peel some states in three way races. Regardless TNF wins an outright electoral college win.

General Mung Beans (D-CA): 357 EVs 52.1%
Goldwater (R-WA): 181 EVs 47.4%

Goldwater suffers serious turnout issues on the GOP side due to social issues, while Mung Beans (what a name) pretty much captures the Obama coalition wholesale and wins over more independents due to the noted moderate stances.

[Supersonic]

windjammer (D-RI): 303. 50.1%
Goldwater (R-WA): 235. 48.8%

Base problems afflict both sides, though Goldwater is affected more-so due to his social views which lowers his Republican and swing state margins. However this is compensated by increases in 'unattainable' safe Democratic states.
