 I already made this while Alfred was posting so I'm going ahead and posting it:

The party having been taken over by Paulites, Gov. Jbrase wins the nomination and picks his old pal Rep. Morgan for VP.  Gov. Scott seizes the opportunity to take away some votes from the right by picking Sen. Republitarian as his runningmate.



Gov. Jbrase (R-IA) / Rep. Morgan (I-CA)  141  44%

Gov. Scott (D-CT) / Sen. Republitarian (R-WA) 397 56%

Senator Scott (D-CT)/Congressman Alfred Jones (D-NY)-315
Governor Shua, gm (R-VA)/Senator Goldwater Republican (R-WA)-223

Shua and Goldwater Republican fire up the Republican base, and for a while, lead the Scott ticket, as his pick of Alfred Jones is controversial. However, the paleoconservative'ish ticket of Shua is spun by Scott, who wins over the elderly in Florida. The Scott campaign plays on populist sentiment and performs strongly in the midwest, and is able to win over the swing states.

Senator Scott of Connecticut/Representative Jones of New York- 285 EV and 50.8% PV
Senator Shua of Virginia/Senator Sanchez of Florida- 253 EV and 48.4% PV



The Republicans nominate long-time Senator Shua, a moderate of Virginia. To help consolidate the base, Shua selects the more conservative Senator Sanchez as his running-mate. With both hailing from swing states, the ticket looks strong and the Republican base is united.

The Democratics nominate Senator Scott, who defeated a left-wing challenge from Governor Snowstalker in the primary. To unite the Democrats, he selects left-wing Congressman Alfred Jones as his running mate, who is aiming to be the first gay Vice President. Scott runs a shrewd campaign, focusing heavily on his opponents' home states.

The friendly, folksy Democratic ticket is victorious despite Senator Shua's "elder statesman" appeal and moderate record. Numerous gaffes by Sanchez are blamed for the ticket's loss.

Governor Napoleon of Connecticut wins the Democratic nomination and chooses Independent New York Governor Nix as his running mate, while Governor Shua of Virgina wins the Republican nomination and chooses Representative Sanchez of Florida as his running mate.

Oh yes, the classic matchup of four libertarians. Quite a delightful race. I'll say Shua runs a bit of a more conservative campaign whereas Nix becomes a relatively liberal candidate, but ideology plays a fairly poor role in determining outcomes in this race. As a result, weird things happen:



Averroes Nix/Townsend - 269
Shua/Republitarian -269

Everyone ends up confused, so they just hold a new election. Tongue

Mayor of Tacoma realisticidealist and New York City activist Averroës Nix run an ideologically fuzzy independent ticket that is endorsed by the Democratic Party.  Governor Goldwater Republican squeaks through the Republican nomination, and selects independent Governor Townsend of Nevada.



Eh, I don't know.

Moderate Governor Realisticidealist of Washington wins the Democratic primary, but fails to enthuse much of the Democratic base. So he turns to progressive Mayor Free Palestine of San Francisco. Despite being highly popular amongst the Democratic base, the controversial statements made by Free Palestine over economics, and the state of Israel, drive moderates into the Republican camp. Having selected firebrand libertarian Senator Goldwater Republican, Governor Townsend of Nevada is selected to balance the ticket with a moderate. Goldwater Republican enjoys a massive advantage in fundraising, and wins by a landslide.



Goldwater Republican (R-WA)/Governor Townsend (R-NV): 380 Electoral votes
Realisticidealist (D-WA)/Free Palestine (D-CA): 158 Electoral votes

The Republican ticket is a successful blend of right-libertarianism and populist conservatism, very effective in the republican West and in the Deep South (Rhodie's stances on "racial issues" helped there). While the quixotic socially conservative Dem candidate is strong in the Rust Belt and makes the outer South competitive, his radical running mate is not well perceived by swing voters. Eventually, the EV count is surprisingly close despite a strong PV win.



Shua/Rhodie (R) : 54%, 274 EVs
Realisticidealist/Morgan : 46%, 264

President Shua (R-VA) - Vice-President Rhodie (R-AL) : 395
Congressman Antonio V (D-LA) - Activist Fallen Morgan (D-CA) : 143


President Shua and Vice-President Rhodie are re-nominated at the GOP Convention in St. Louis, to huge acclaim and fanfare. Unemployment had dropped to 7.4%, the economy was growing, manufacturing was at a four year high. Polls indicated President Shua's approval rating averaging at 55%. Echoing Ronald Reagan's 1984 campaign mantra, 'It's Morning in America', the President announces, to great applause, that 'America is Back!'.

Running on the 'America is Back!' platform, President Shua promises to continue the 'prosperous advance' of the nation. Using his record to make the case for re-election, the President is able to avoid other contentious issues, especially immigration, which allows the GOP to play well in areas formally believed to be beyond its reach. While Vice-President Rhodie ensures the base is enthused by touring the South and Western States.

On the Democratic side, liberal Louisiana Democratic Congressman, Antonio, wins the primaries almost unanimously. Due to the popularity of the Republican administration, most Democrats decide not to run, preferring to wait for the 2016 election. The four term Congressman faces huge difficulties in making inroads with independents and swing voters, moreover, most of the Democratic base is extremely pessimistic about their chances in November. Playing on a 'base first' tactic, he opts for Fallen Morgan to be his Vice Presidential candidate. Nevertheless, with two solid leftists on the ticket, the Democratic coalition begins to crack as DLC'ers quietly defect to President Shua's campaign. Thus allowing states such as New Jersey and Washington to become vulnerable.

On election day, the result is no surprise. Landslide territory (as called by CNN) for the GOP. The Democratic 'base first' strategy does manage to hold New York and California, thus preventing a total EV collapse.

Goldwater Republican / AkSaber: 224

Senator Scott / Governor Townsend: 314

I think that's a very average ticket, so that run-of-the-mine map reflects today's political situation.
