Playing as Webb against Warren and Cuomo. I win every debate, and usually take IA and SC and sometimes NV with decent margins, but I always get destroyed on Super Tuesday. Any help?

Invest in 4-5 Super Tuesday states straight away, and make sure to do well in all states (the PR system for the Dem primaries means you can get destroyed; as Sanders did in RL in the South)

Basically from beginning you need to invest in the states

Invest in what sense?

Build up Organization and Footsoldiers. A couple of well-timed newspaper ads wouldn't hurt. You'll also want to keep up your momentum with rallying and barnstorming in those states.

I'm starting in July, how early should I start barnstorming and rallying?

Once you see that they are very high in power (above 5 IMO); that will allow you to gain even more momentum. I would say focus on the Main Early States when rallying and barnstorming, but then mix in some powerfilled stops in the ST states.

When I play as Sanders, usually I invest some CP into Command and Strategy while I focus heavily on Iowa and New Hampshire, once I win those, I use the momentum to campaign in the ST states and usually work to win O'Malley, Webb and Chafee's endorsements

Click on the button that has the figure of a human on it, it should pull up another screen, there is a button in the top right that has an i with a circle around it, click that then it will show your campaign attributes and you can allocate up to 3 CP's  into an attribute

Thank you so much. I wish there was a tutorial for this game.

Version update: My thing crashed in the middle of election night when I tested (i.e. skipped through) a Johnson/Stein race

Hate how wacky the results can be. The 2008 version of the game was way more realistic.

In defense of the scenario I was using for the last two, it was a third-party scenario. Tongue

Has anyone found you no longer get TV appearances since the new update? Have they changed how to get them or something?

2000



Senator Paul Wellstone of Minnesota and Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin (Democratic) - 276 EVs, 51.8% PV
Congressman John Kasich of Ohio and Governor John Engler of Michigan (Republican) - 262 EVs, 46.2% PV
Ralph Nader/some guy (Green) - 0 EVs, 1.2% PV
Pat Buchanan/some guy (Reform) - 0 EVs, 0.9% PV

Polls are tight throughout the race, with final polls showing Wellstone comfortably ahead of Kasich in the popular vote but an even contest in the electoral college.  A last-minute momentum boost and Kasich scandal propel Wellstone to victory.

Closest states are Arkansas (1,432 vote difference) and New Hampshire (3,973 vote difference).  (Thanks, angry NH women!)

Spectated as Barr. Surprisingly, Idaho voted to the left of Oregon.

I edited the 2004 scenario to give Powell a decent chance and made Chafee a slightly better sacrificial lamb.

In this run I played as Powell and had a tough fight against Bush. Chafee refused to drop out early so that played as a spoiler in several states I hoped to capitalize on and allowed Bush to begin retaking the lead. It turned into a tough state by state fight in the end where the last primaries decided it. Powell won the delegate vote by ~20 delegates and Bush won the popular vote 53-47

1972: Too Close for Comfort

Representative John Ashbrook (R-OH) / Senator Mark Hatfield (R-OR) - 271/51.5%
Senator George McGovern (D-SD) / Thomas Eagleton (D-MO) - 267/48.5%
McGovern started out at OTL 1972 levels. 1,493 votes in New Hampshire (You had one job, angry women!) would have swung the election to McGovern.
