Make up a map between you and the preceding poster.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

President Jones's term is plagued with issues through no real fault of his own, but Senator Nathan of Massachusetts decides to challenge him in the primaries regardless. Nathan's stridently left-wing and somewhat agrarian economic outlook and eclectic stances on a few social issues that depart from liberal Democratic orthodoxy win him the Iowa caucuses, but the President is able to run up margins with more left-libertarian primary voters in New Hampshire, and after a disappointingly narrow win with South Carolina's heavily rural black primary electorate and heavy losses in Florida (due to the Senator's barely-hidden disdain for the state) and Nevada (Las Vegas), Nathan all but suspends his campaign, winning a few more primaries in sparsely populated Western states and his native Massachusetts before endorsing the President.

Who are you running against?

Ah, it was a primary between me and Alfred F. Jones, sorry if that wasn't clear enough.

Sorry for not posting a map, I had some trouble getting it to work correctly on this computer, which is not my usual one.

*skip*. I'll try to do another with a proper map in a few posts.

Crap, okay, I don't know why I was confused. Sorry, everyone.

This matchup would provide America with a genuine choice, if nothing else, and a really unusual one at that. The campaign would probably be pretty polite because I know I respect Goldwater and I think he respects me.

439-99

Regional strength in the Northeast and a coalition of blacks and single-issue abortion voters in a couple of Southern states preserve me from a 1972/1984-level obliteration, but it's...it's not close. The margins in Colorado and Oregon should probably be higher. Maybe Pennsylvania and New Jersey should be flipped but New Jersey has a lot of FCBSL types in the suburbs and I'm imagining myself shilling perceived similarities to Bob Casey père for all they're worth in Pennsylvania.
