Red-Clinton
Light Red-Clinton Leading at Sanders Drop Out
Green-Sanders
Light Green-Sanders leading at Sanders Drop Out
Grey-Tie at Sanders Drop Out

Has anyone won the nomination as Sanders? After pulling off wins in the first four contests, I opened up a seven point lead on Clinton, however that was dashed after she swept the southern primaries. My leads started to evaporate after that, and after my .4% loss in Wisconsin, I knew it was over. I held on until after the Pennsylvania primary, and then dropped out and endorsed her. I think I'm going to try this with Biden turned off for good, and not just undecided. His supporters breaking random ways the day of the primary really killed me, especially once Clinton got momentum.

Strange things happen in editing (2004).

Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH)/Mr. Howie Hawkins (G-NY) - 27.3%, 17 EVs

Decided to try Kasich in 2000.

Congressman John Kasich (R-OH)/Govenror John Ashcroft (R-MO) - 49.8%, 408 EVs
Senator Bob Graham (D-FL)/Governor Jean Shaheen (D-NH) - 37.0%, 130 EVs
Mr. Ralph Nader (G-CT)/Ms. Winona LaDuke (G-MN) - 7.4%
Mr. Pat Buchanan (R-VA)/Ms. Ezola Foster (R-CA) - 5.8%

thank you!

[SATW]

Follow Up to Previous Post

Bush/Cheney-396-54.6%
Edwards/McCain-142-45.4%
Bit of a... strange result. I had a HUGE sum of money from fundraising by the end, but I was too lazy to use it all for ads. I probably could have gone more negative and beat Bush, or at least kept it close. Also, picking McCain was an AWFUL idea. I'll try to explain what probably went down.

Out West: Edwards probably dissed the west and also Mormons. John McCain somehow made everybody made in Arizona.

Minnesota: I guess Edwards made fun of their accents? Or called them Canadian.

Delaware and Maryland: Edwards probably decided to close down the Chesapeake Bay to mitigate environmental risk and merge Delaware into Maryland.

Maine: Edwards ran on banning lobster.

I have no clue these are really silly explanations.

There's this custom 2020 election scenario someone made and I ran on third third party they made called "Modern Change Party." I ran with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos with Dallas Mavericks Owner, and Shark Tank Co-Host Mark Cuban.


Jon Stewart was the Democrat nominee; Michael Steele was GOP Nominee. I won 10.9% of the vote

Here were my ten best states, by percentage, with vote totals for those states listed:
- Texas: 18% (2.4 Million votes)
- Pennsylvania: 17% (1.2 Million votes)
- California: 16% (3.2 Million votes) (1.4% shy of overtaking the GOP as #2)
- New Mexico: 16% (176K votes)
- North Carolina: 15% (835K votes)
- Arizona: 14% (496K votes)
- Virginia: 13% (602K votes)
- Arkansas: 12% (191K votes)
- Indiana: 11% (427K votes)
- Florida: 11% (1.2 Million votes)

how do people win a few states as third parties (not counting 1948 or 1968)? I always finish >20% in a few states but never enough to win a state

They did it to simulate a "Perot" effect, I usually just ad swamp the 11 most populace states to get exactly 270 electoral votes, it's really fun. I usually win just shy of 25% of the PV without having to do a nationwide campaign. It's CA, TX, FL, NY, IL, PA, OH, MI, GA, NC, and NJ by the way.
