Power Politics III?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Anyone play this one - certainly has more realistic scenarios than PF (like in PF the Democrat would NEVER lose NY - but win MS or KS)

I just wandered across this while surfing - by God it is addictive.


My best Result - play with Kerry - Bush - Nader

Kerry - 400Ev - 52.4%
Bush - 138Ev - 45.9%
Nader - 1.7%

 The Map

My weirdest result - they make you pay attention if you're running as the Dem  ALWAYS keep a watch on NY and CA .

Lost the EC 267-271 - but won the PV by get this

Kerry - 56, 485, 239
Bush - 56, 482, 975
Nader - 2, 593, 220


2,264 votes out of 115,561,434 votes

The first and second games were addicting... But damned if that five billion MB download would just take till next year on my ancient dial up connection. Also, the price for this game was just way too expensive for me to shill out the fifty bucks for it.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I just use the free version.

I feel the need to advertise - I just won WV for Kerry!!! Never done it before

Kerry - 51.3%
Bush - 45.6%
Nader - 3.1%

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Ok this was a weird one.

Kerry won the popular vote by 1.1m votes, but lost the EC 281-257

There were some VERY close states.

Lost PA by 39,458 votes
Lost CA (how how how) by 54,505 votes
Lost FL by 32,420 votes

But on the bright side... Won GA! by get this 246 votes.

Does it only have the 2004 election?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

In the free version yes.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Since I'm the only one talking... still I'll keep going.

Results - weird

Kerry - 289
Bush - 249

But Popular vote

Kerry - 53,135,659
Bush - 55, 195,880

This is largely due to some normal solid Dem states being VERY close, such as NY and IL.

What's the website for this?  Also, in the version you buy, how far does the game go back?  Just to 1960, like PF?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

is it free???

[Platypus]

you can get a free 'educational' version. I downloaded it but I havent been able to play it, some kind of bug

A few days ago, I played the game. I played as Nader and what I did was focus on winning a state. Connecticut was the state I chose because he did the best there (I think it's like 12%). And when I've focused on winning CT, I've won it but by a few thousand votes but when I focus on the state, there's usually a 33/33/34 split. There have been times where I've focused on getting 5% nationwide and I did it once. Of course, it cost Kerry CA. And there have been times where I ran only in the New England region and got like 18% in the region. I usually get like 4.5% of the national vote though so it's not that bad.
