2008 - I ran as Mitt Romney. I solified my leads in the lead-off states, and won every one except South Carolina, where I lost by two points to McCain. After that, the election swayed heavily in my favor, and I won Super Tuesday. Thompson won Tennesse, McCain ended up winning abou 10 states, and Gingrich won Georgia. McCain took it to the convention, and lost. I chose Sarah Palin as my running mate.
It was wonk edition on Hard, so I expected it to be difficult, but it wasn't. The Democrats were divided, and Obama eeked out a narrow victory. The election was a cakewalk for Romney...

Romney/Palin: 58% 75.3 million votes   452 EV
Obama/Zinni: 40.2% 52.9 million votes   86 EV
Barr/Root: 1.2% 1.5 million votes            00 EV


California and Illinois were the closest states.

I ran as Johnson in 2012. One of my best performances ever. I started last in the primaries, and ended up winning the nomination, focusing on western states. Selected Romney as my Vice President. Clinton challenged Obama for the nomination, and barely won. She chose Clark. Here is the interesting map...

Johnson: 51.6%
Clinton: 45.6%
Bloomberg: 2.8%

Started 1976 with Byrd. My goal originally was to win a few states in the Rust Belt, then become Carter's VP. However, I ended up doing well, and won the nomination, despite starting out with less than 2%.  I chose Jimmy Carter as my Vice President nominee. Ford fought off a Reagan challenge, and chose Mark Schweiker as his VP. The race was a nailbiter, though in the last 2 weeks, I pulled away, winning most of the undecided voters.

The Results:
Byrd/Carter: 52.9%
Ford/Schweiker: 47.1%

Obama/Biden vs. Thompson/Snowe 2008
Played as Thompson. Spent a lot of time in Pennsylvania and Colorado, while Snowe stayed in the Northeast almost the entire time.

Ran a perfect 2004 scenario. I was Graham, and chose Easley as my running mate, vs. Bush/Cheney. Lost the popular vote 50.3%-49.7%, but here was the map...

2012, playing as Mitt Romney...
Republican Primaries:  Won every lead-off state, but performed poorly on Super Tuesday. Kansas put me over the top, however. I chose John Thune for my Vice President.
Democratic Primaries: Kucinich upset Obama in Iowa, but Obama managed to easily win every other primary. He chose Biden.
General Election: The race was a dead heat until about October 20th. My research found many Obama scandals, three of them being labeled "high". I played one a week in the final weeks. I also managed to save enough money to opt out of national funding, so I spent a lot more than Obama did.



This actually wasn't looking towards a blowout. Mid-October, I was only ahead by one point. Ended up winning 56-43.

Ran with Romney in 2012. Won Iowa, New Hampshire, and Maine which put me as frontrunner, and I eventually won. Chose Jeb Bush as my VP. On the Democratic side, Hillary barely beat out Obama, and chose Evan Bayh as her VP. General election was a deadlock until the very end. I way overperformed, only led by 5 points going into election day and won 56-44. Spent a lot of time in Massachusetts. Only lost D.C. by 13 points. Wink

Well, I lose as Wallace in 1968, but I'm pretty impressed with my showing. I won Florida by a little over 4000 votes and won Oklahoma by 2000. My best states outside of the South were Michigan, Ohio, and Alaska.



Humphrey: 283 EVs, 39.4% PV
Nixon: 135 EVs, 35.1% PV
Wallace: 120 EVs, 25.5% PV

Whew! I just ran a crazy simulation. 1968, running as Wallace with no Democrats. Romney pulls off a few surprises and wins the Republican nomination. Despite leading in popular vote the entire general election, I struggled to attain the number 270. On election night, it all came down to Ohio, where I ended up winning by 27,000 votes.

Romney/Agnew: 45%, 249 EVs
Wallace/LeMay: 55% 289 EVs



It'd be interesting to live on the Missouri-Kansas border. (where I used to live) Wink

A close three-way between Warner-Clinton-Obama. Warner/Obama became the ticket vs.
Huckabee/Johnson. Here's the map:


Warner won with 53.4% of the vote. He was up by 2 points going into election day. Was down by 16 in Texas ,but only lost by 2.

I won 538 electoral votes as Colin Powell in the 2004 simulation. Unfortunately I didn't save it.
I ironically did that too today. It really isn't that hard. Most of the time it comes down to just campaigning in Vermont, Massachusetts, and D.C.

I just pulled off one of my best comebacks ever on Hard. In 2008-Wonk, narrowly made it through the primaries with Feingold. On September 1st, I was down 38-52%. Two weeks before the election, I was down 42-51%. On election day, internals had me down 45-48.2%. I ran an extremely negative campaign in the last few weeks, and Romney never really gained enough momentum to win. On election night, in an upset...



Romney/Pataki: 218 EVs, 48.9% Popular Vote
Feingold/Clinton: 320 EVs, 51.1% Popular Vote

I actually find it somewhat believable for 2008. Oklahoma is certainly a stretch though, and I think Feingold would win Arkansas before Louisiana. But other than that, I'd say as weird as it may look, it's not that bad.

Never led on this one, by won 51.5-48.5% on election night. Keystone Phil would be really proud of this...



Santorum/Pawlenty: 51.5%, 319 EVs
Obama/Clinton: 48.5%, 220 EVs

2008:




Mitt Romney/Joseph Lieberman - 55.9%, 374 EV's

Hillary Clinton/Mark Warner - 44.1%, 164 EV's

Some interesting percentages, to say the least. It's almost realistic, minus percentages in the South.

Massachusetts and Connecticut are what're most bizarre on that map.
Well, I got bonuses in both states since that's where the candidates were from. I also advertised and campaigned in both states, which was a help. I'm sure both MA and CT would have been closer in RL if McCain had done likewise, especially if Lieberman was his VP.

I just got the Demo, played as Paul in the 2008 GOP Primaries, and won Iowa, NH, and SC, each time I was polling in the 7% area too.

Im buying the full version tommorow.
A great game Smiley Consider waiting, the 2012 version should be coming out very soon. That's what I'm waiting on.

2008:



Played as John Thune, lost to Al Gore. I'm actually really proud of this scenario. As you all know, sometimes when there is a split convention, the the winning candidate from that convention goes into the GE in a huge hole; mine was 69%-12%. I managed to close the gap to 53-46, and probably could have won if it was another week or two delayed.
