Former Governor of New York Maxwell looked like the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. However, controversial economic views put TNF to the forefront. Maxwell, furious at the result, ran as a third party, and costed the Democrats the Presidency.

In a strange electoral year, Libertarian-lite Congressman Maxwell from Louisiana, a rarity in the state, managed to swipe the nomination. Smartly, he decided to negate Former Senator Malcolm X's Ohio home state advantage by picking Former Governor of Ohio and Current Senator of Wisconsin TJ In Wisco for his Vice President. Malcolm tried to remedy this by picking Former Attorney General and Former Governor Ben from Virginia, who was a shoe-in to win the state, but made the ticket too moderate, and inspired a run from Former Democratic Congressman TNF to run on a green ticket and take a lot of union support away from him. This allowed Maxwell to defeat Malcolm in his home state.
