2012 election
Democratic primaries

President Obama - Red
Senator Warner - Blue

The popular Senator Warner of Virginia challenged the incumbent President Obama to the Democratic Nomination only to be swiftly beaten back on Super Tuesday.


Republican primaries


Green - Senator Crist
Blue - Governor Romney
Orange - Governor Sanford
Red - Governor Huckabee
Yellow - Governor Palin
Light Teal(?) - Governor Jindal (Louisiana and Rhode Island)
Black - Senator Crist wins by default due to Governor Romney's concession

Romney, the early frontrunner, lost the Republican nomination at the final hurdle. Charlie Crist, who came second in the popular vote, edged out Mitt Romney to the nomination thanks to the endorsements of Governor's Huckabee, Sanford, Jindal and Palin. Can the former Governor and current Junior Senator from Florida beat the incumbent Barack Obama after the pair have become almost bi-partisan allies over the course of Obama's first term?


General Election

President Barack Obama (D-IL)/Vice President Joe Biden (D-DE) - 440 electoral votes and 69,749,613 (57.1%) popular votes
Senator Charlie Crist (R-FL)/Former Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR) - 98 electoral votes and 43,837,451 (35.9%) popular votes
Former Governor Jesse Ventura (L-MN)/Representative Ron Paul (L-TX) - 8,541,759 (7.0%) popular votes

I've just played a scenario which took place in 2008 with Kerry as the incumbent President after beating GWB in 2004. I played as John Kerry.

Kerry, having become unpopular, faced primary challenges from 4 other Democrats with his closest opponent being Former Representative and V.P. nominee Geraldine Ferraro (LOL!) with Governor Ed Rendell and Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthanal in third and fourth place respectively. Blumenthal dropped out early on in the primaries and endorsed Representative Ferraro. Ferraro's picked up some strong momentum after winning alot of the early states (Kerry carried Nevada, Rendell carried South Carolina and Blumenthal carried Michigan). This momentum carried her to some strong wins on Super Tuesday. It seemed like a sure thing that Ferraro would become the Democratic nominee until "Mini Tuesday" in March when Kerry pulled off an unexpected victory in Ohio. Kerry's only other victory following Ohio was in Indiana.  Rendell went on the pick up some heavy momentum, as Ferraro's began to fizzle out, leading him to some strong wins in the final primaries, although he remained in a distant third place. Governor Rendell went onto endorse President Kerry in July, giving Kerry a majority of the delegates making him the Democratic Nominee.

Due to Vice President John Edwards' resignation midway through his term, President Kerry selected Senator Barack Obama as his new running mate. Due to the strongly divided primary battle for the Democrats, Kerry began the general election far behind Governor Mitt Romney (who beat VP Cheney, Sec. Powell, Sec. Rice, Sen. McCain and Gov. Perry in the Republican primary) in the polls, leading in only 8 states. Kerry climbed his way up in the polls until he was tied with the Governor. The weekend before the election, the tied "swing states" were Oregon, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas and Colorado. President Kerry rested his hopes, once again, on a win in Ohio.

President John Kerry (D-MA)/Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) - 305 electoral votes and 84,125,338 (47.2%) popular votes
Former Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA)/Former Senator George Allen (R-VA) - 233 electoral votes and 76,719,219 (43.1%) popular votes
Others (Badnarik and Peroutka) - 17,327,298 (9.8%) popular votes

Democratic Primaries


Blue - Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY)
Green - Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) (I played as Obama in the primaries)
Red - Former Vice President Al Gore (D-TN)

Just 5 candidates entered their names for the democratic primaries (Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Edwards and Russ Feingold). Vice President Gore took an early lead in the delegate count as he won all but one (Florida) of the early primaries leaving Super Tuesday a complete toss up between Senators Clinton and Obama. Gore pulled off some unexpected victories on Super Tuesday leaving him in a strong third place with Senator Clinton in second and Senator Obama far ahead in first, although short of a majority of the delegates. By the time the Montana and South Dakota primaries were over, Senator Obama was leading Hillary in the popular vote almost 2-1, he had 45%, and Vice President Gore was just 2% behind Clinton. Obama, having fallen just 100 delegates short of a majority, requested that Gore withdraw from the race and endorse him, a request which the former Vice President declined. Al Gore endorsed Hillary Clinton in July giving her a slim majority of the delegates. At the convention, the true victor, Barack Obama conceded to Senator Clinton. Many in the party had thought that Clinton would select Obama as her running mate, but she chose Governor Brian Schweitzer of Montana.

Yes, especially when candidates start withdrawing in July when no one even has a majority...

I lost Ohio by 2%, polls showed me up by 6% there.

Who's David Coppersmith?


Oh, so as not to doublepost:



I was too lazy to bother doing the map, so I took a screenshot.

Senator Eugene McCarthy/ Senator George McGovern (D)
Mr. Richard Nixon/ Governor Spiro Agnew (R)
Governor George Wallace/ General Curtis LeMay (I)

The primaries were as intense as they were in reality-- I narrowly won against Humphrey and Kennedy, went along lines of ideology rather than practicality when choosing George McGovern as my running mate and then had to contend with a "McCarthy's nomination splits party" event.

The election phase was tough, but I eventually won. Wallace and Nixon split the right-wing vote so much that I was able to capture Texas, which was a big boost. I actually outperformed Nixon in a few of the Wallace states.

Where's the '68 scenario from?

Played the 1968 Scenario as Eugene McCarthy. After a nailbitter primary battle with Humphrey (it was down to about a 60 delegate difference), I won, but at the cost of about half the Democratic party base, most of which went to Wallace. Nixon was ahead of me by about 15 points entering the general election, but attacking his integrity, along with a massive ad campaign following cash infusions, allowed for me to come back, and then surpass Nixon in the polls. By election day, I knew that I had the won, but I was hoping for a larger electoral success. I largely failed to achieve that, but I managed to capture all the toss-up states in which I was within 1st-2nd place.

Eugene McCarthy (D-MN)/George McGovern (D-SD) 39,424,780 46.8% / 368 Electoral
Richard Nixon (R-CA)/John Tower (R-TX) 29,226,711 34.7% / 79 Electoral
George Wallace (AI-AL)/James Rhodes (R-OH) 15,591,079 18.5% / 91 Electoral
