Where is a good place to find older elections? Like, I'd love(LOVE) to play as George Romney. Where can I find all of these mods?

Where is a good place to find older elections? Like, I'd love(LOVE) to play as George Romney. Where can I find all of these mods?

Well, the 1968 Mod comes with the new update, also here's the scenarios page. http://campaigns.270soft.com/category/president_forever_2016/

I dug up an old P4E 2004 Scenario about Ross Perot.

Bush/Rice vs. Gore/Clinton vs. Perot/Stockdale(Me)

Did pretty well.


And the map version.

Decided to dust off President Forever 2008; and played the 04 election with Bush and Kerry + Nader.

[Potatoe]

From a PF2004 Scenario

Mr T/Rudy Giluani:191 EV, 36%

Evan Bayh/Wesley Clark:136 EV, 32%

Jesse Ventura/John McCain:211 EV, 31% (Me)

DAMN YOU ROSS PEROT!

I posted the results for this on another site, 2012 as Donald Trump, amazed I actually won, I was behind Romney by like 15 Points in the Primaries, but I managed to get both Cain and Paul to endorse me in the final Hurdle, and Romney finally conceded.

Donald Trump(R,NY)/Susana Martinez(R,NM):269 EV, 54.5%

Barack Obama(D,IL)/Joe Biden(D,DE):269, 45.5%

[MadmanMotley]

1948:

Robert Taft/Earl Warren 63.1% 493EV
Harry Truman/Alben Barkley 31.7% 0EV
Strom Thurmond/Fielding Wright 2.5% 38EV
Henry Wallace/Glen Taylor 2.7% 0EV

Played as Taft, Truman led in most southern states where he was on the ballot, but on election night I stomped on him.

Played as Baron Hill from the general in the Indiana 2010 scenario, I wouldn't recommend it.

Rep. Baron Hill: 967, 856 (50.5%)
Fmr. Sen Dan Coats: 948,481 (49.5%)

Decided to throw a bone to Republicans and Edited in John Cornyn 2012, the results of that? Terrifying, to say the least.

John Cornyn/Chris Christie:499 EV, 63.3% (Rep)
Barack Obama/Joe Biden:39 EV, 35.6% (Dem)

All hail masterlord Cornyn!

[Potatoe]

Oh, if only



Bill White/Paul Sadler (D): 50.9% (11,034)
Greg Abbott/Tom Leppert (R): 49.1% (10,637)

[rpryor03]

Governor Christopher James Christie (NJ)/Senator Robert Jones Portman (OH) - 296 Electoral Votes, 47.6%
Governor Andrew Mark Cuomo (NY)/Senator Cory Anthony Booker (NJ) - 242 Electoral Votes, 46.7%
Governor James George Janos (MN)/Mr. James Polin Gray (CA) - 0 Electoral Votes, 4.2%

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Former Governor Howard Dean (D-VT)/Former Secretary of State Collin Powell (I-NY): 434 Electoral Votes, 55.60% of the popular vote.
President George W. Bush (R-TX)/Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY): 104 Electoral Votes, 40.00% of the popular vote.
Mr. Ralph Nader (I-CT)/Mr. Peter Camejo (I-CA): 2.10% of the popular vote.
Mr. Michael Peroutka (C-MD)/Mr. Chuck Baldwin (C-FL): 1.20% of the popular vote.
Mr. Michael Badnarik (L-TX)/Mr. Lance Brown (L-CA): 1.10% of the popular vote.

I started off as Colin Powell in the Republican primaries. Despite the usual low polling, I followed the strategy outlined for Jon Huntsman in an earlier thread here and used it to win Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. I at one point had double Bush’s delegates, but Bush pulled a scandal on me and took Illinois (where my twenty point lead deteriorated over two weeks), shattering my strong momentum. I struggled on, and as the later primaries came around, I lost all remaining momentum and Bush reclaimed the nomination. After two to three weeks of constant requests to be Dean’s running mate, I finally was accepted on to the ticket. During this time I dumped my remaining scandals and ran nationwide ads, and when I finally joined the ticket with Dean, his polls went from down ten points to leading by ten points.

On the Democratic side, Lieberman of all people was leading and won most of the primaries, with Edwards and Dean fighting for second. Weeks before the DNC, Edwards dropped out and endorsed Dean, putting him over the top. Lieberman dropped out and endorsed Dean just before I joined the ticket.

I won most states by ~15%, and most of Bush’s states were close. Bush won Oklahoma and Alabama by margins of 0.1%, and Utah and Colorado were won by 6%. I expected a higher performance from the third party candidates after I unleashed a strong ad attacking Bush on Iraq and a medium scandal. On the whole, the Libertarians and Constitutionalists didn’t break higher than 2% in any states, though Nader won 5.2% in California and averaged 2-3% everywhere else.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Former Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR)/Senator Rob Portman (R-OH): 285 Electoral Votes, 47.9% of the popular vote.
President Barack Obama (D-IL)/Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D-NY): 253 Electoral Votes, 50.2% of the popular vote.
Mr. Wayne Allan Root (L-NV)/Mr. R. Lee Wrights (L-TX): 1.60% of the popular vote.
Mrs. Jill Stein (G-MA)/Mr. Kent Mesplay (G-CA): 0.10% of the popular vote.
Former Congressman Virgil Goode (C-VA)/Mr. Jim Clymer (C-PA): 0.10% of the popular vote.

Fun game this was. Started out as Huckabee in the NV Gonzalez 2012 scenario and built a massive lead up in Iowa and South Carolina, and preceded to completely clear the field out by March. I also was able to get a few high profile scandals that I released fairly frequently and quickly built my pre-convention funds to massive levels, which allowed me to run negative ads. I still trailed Obama throughout the race, though in October I was able to force ties in Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin. For whatever reason, Ohio was never close and I maintained a ten point lead.

The closest state was by far New Hampshire, which Obama won by 950 votes. Despite Johnson losing the Libertarian nomination, Wayne Allan Root performed well in most states, breaking over 1% in every state and taking 5% in New Hampshire (which is why Obama probably won it, despite my lead).

Vice Pres. Richard Nixon (R-CA)/Sen. Everett Dirksen (R-IL): 137 EVs, 26,925,053 PVs (45.0%)
Sen. Harry F. Byrd (Dixiecrat-VA)/Sen. Strom Thurmond (Dixiecrat-SC): 0 EVs, 502,599 PVs (0.8%)

I played the 2008 map on President Forever 2016, with Bill Richardson. All candidates were turned on.

Bill Richardson - Yellow, 2028 delegates
Barack Obama - Red, 2006 delegates
Hillary Clinton - Blue, 0 delegates  (endorsed Richardson I believe)
Al Gore - Green, 0 delegates
Arizona, Utah was won by Wesley Clark, Missouri was won by John Edwards and John Kerry took Michigan.

On the Republican side, Mitt Romney swept --beating every candidate (all were on).

I did finish the game, but I only have it saved at the end of the primaries

[Fed. Pac. Chairman Devin]

Can someone tell me how to post the maps?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Can someone tell me how to post the maps?

You use the Electoral Vote Calculator, and when you are finished, you press "Show Map Link." You copy and paste whatever is in the box, and post it on the forum where it will show up as a map. I hope this helps .

[rpryor03]

Fmr. Governor Jeb Bush (R-FL)/Governor Susana Martinez (R-NM), 271 Electoral Votes, 49.4%
Fmr. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), 267 Electoral Votes, 49.2%
Fmr. Governor Gary Johnson (L-NM)/Fmr. Governor Jesse Ventura (L-MN), 0 Electoral Votes, 1%
Dr. Jill Stein (G-MA)/Mrs. Cheri Honkala (G-PA), 0 Electoral Votes, .4%

[MATTROSE94]

Here is what I got for 2008 while playing as Hillary Clinton:

Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Senator Barack Obama (D-IL): 416 Electoral Votes 53.9%
Senator John McCain (R-AZ)/Governor Sarah Palin (R-AK): 122 Electoral Votes 44.4%
Others (Libertarian, Green): 0 Electoral Votes 1.7%

I still don't know how I ended up winning Alaska, Kentucky, West Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi while at the same time losing Missouri, Louisiana and Montana.

[MATTROSE94]

Tis is what I got when playing as Obama against Rick Santorum

President Barack Obama (D-IL)/Vice President Joe Biden (D-DE): 398 Electoral Votes 54.8%
Former Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA)/Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI): 140 Electoral Votes 43.3%
Former Governor Gary Johnson (L-NM)/Mr. James Gray (L-CA): 0 Electoral Votes 1.9%

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

1968

President Lyndon Johnson (D-TX)/Vice President Hubert Humphrey (D-MN): 457 Electoral Votes, 48.6% of the popular vote.
Governor George Romney (R-MI)/Governor Ronald Reagan (R-CA): 36 Electoral Votes, 33.9% of the popular vote.
Former Governor George Wallace (AIP-AL)/Governor Happy Chandler (AIP-KY): 45 Electoral Votes, 14.4% of the popular vote.
Mr. Carl Oglesby (PF-MI)/Mr. Benjamin Spock (PF-CT): 3.1% of the popular vote.

Lots of close states….
New Mexico: 56 vote difference.
North Dakota: 60 vote difference.
Wyoming: 92 vote difference.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Did an Obama/Santorum simulation, played as Johnson and did almost no campaigning. To ensure that any change in results came only from Santorum, I made him have Ryan as his running mate. Obama won the popular vote 51.8-46.4-1.7. (Yeah, somehow I got better than rl results for Johnson without even trying)

This was the map. Looks okay, right?:

But the list of margins in close states looks just bizarre:

States won by Obama by less than 10 points:
Florida - 0.8%
Nevada - 1.9%
Ohio - 2.2%
Colorado - 2.3%
Virginia - 3.3%
Iowa - 4.8%
Washington - 4.9%
Pennsylvania - 5.4%
Wisconsin - 5.4%
Michigan - 7.2%
Oregon - 7.5%
New Hampshire - 7.5%
North Carolina - 8.1%
New Mexico - 9.9%

States won by Santorum by less than 10 points:
Missouri - 3.4%
Arizona - 4.3%
Arkansas - 4.5%
Montana - 6.6%
Georgia - 8.0%
Indiana - 9.1%
West Virginia - 9.7%

Playing through my 2004 scenario.

George W. Bush gets primaried by Senator John McCain. Colin Powell starts off as "undecided" on running.

For the Democrats, John Kerry, Howard Dean, Joe Lieberman, Wesley Clark, Dick Gephardt, and John Edwards are all turned on. Al Gore is turned on as "undecided"

Ralph Nader is on. I will play as my "Observer" candidate which does nothing.

GOP Primaries:

Nov 2003 - George W. Bush starts off with a full map in his favor.

Nov 2003 - Powell decides against running.

Jan 2004 - Bush leads big in both Iowa and NH..66% - 15% against McCain.

Iowa Result - Bush wins 70-30

New Hampshire - Bush wins 72-28

After Super Tuesday in March...Bush has 822 delegates to McCain's 44...Bush leads nationally 74.6% to McCain's 23.7%...


Democratic Primaries:

Nov 2003 - If Gore jumps in, he'll have a 10% lead over Dean with the others trailing behind, but not too far behind.

Dec 2003 - Gore jumps in. Gore still ahead, the others are catching up.

Jan 2004 - Gore is at 26.7% and leads in IA, SC, NV (barely in IA & NV). Dean is at 17.1%. Edwards leads in NH 41.3%-22.2% for Kerry.

Iowa Result - Kerry wins Iowa (24%) to Dean's 20.1%. Gephardt in third for 20%, Edwards at 19.9%...Gore at 12%...Clark at 2.1% and Lieberman at 2%.

New Hampshire - Kerry wins 23.8% to Clark's 22.7%...Edwards 17.7%...Lieberman 16.8%...Gore 7.3%...Dean 7%...Gephardt 5%...

After Super Tuesday: Gore has 467 delegates, 21.8% polling...Kerry 225 del, 16.6%....Dean 112 del, 14.7%....Gephardt (took California) 292 del, 12.5%...Clark, Lieberman and Edwards all have 80ish delegates...9-12% in the polls...Gephardt endorses Kerry soon after.

Mid March - Kerry pulls ahead w/ 30.7% polling and 1,675 delegates. Dean, Lieberman and Edwards all also drop out and (I think) endorse Kerry...


The General

Bush cruises to renomination ultimately winning over 80% of the popular vote. He switches up his VP and picks Colin Powell.

Kerry wins the nomination and selects Senator Diane Feinstein as his running mate. In August 2004, the GOP leads the Democrats 46.1% - 31.8% and 389 EV to 80 EV.

October:

The GOP maintains their lead despite Kerry winning all the debates.

November:

On the eve of election...

Bush leads 50.9% to 36.9% and 359 to 179.
