I narrowly lost both Texas and Florida by narrow margins.

You're kidding. Tongue

I'm probably getting President Forever over the weekend, by the way.

I take it you got President Forever + Primaries. You can actually download 1992 and 2000 scenarios to add upon the default 2008 one. Not to mention a 1976 and a 1968 one. Hope you enjoy. Smiley

Where? It says there are no scenarios for PF+P other than 2004 and 2000.

I started out playing as Gore, with Clinton and Obama turned off. My campaign was looking good, but Edwards took leads in all the pre-Super Tuesday states, killing my momentum. Nevertheless, I took it all the way to the convention, with Edwards getting the nomination and choosing Barbara Boxer as his running mate.

On the Republican side, Huckabee and Romney got off to terrible starts, with Thompson taking much of the South and McCain getting the rest. However, soon I saw Ron Paul winning primaries left and right! It soon became a three-way race between Paul, Giuliani and McCain. When Giuliani dropped out, McCain seemed set to win, but he inexplicably dropped out and endorsed Paul, who selected Huckabee as his running mate.

Paul was not a strong candidate, and much of the South opened up to me right away. Although I ran a lackluster campaign, this is how it turned out:



Edwards/Boxer: 339, 44.6%
Paul/Huckabee: 199, 38.9%
Peroutka: 9.4%
Badnarik: 7%

That is why PF+P often gives crazy results, very high numbers for third party candidates that would never achieve such electoral success. This was bad in the original, where third parties often added up to around 4% or 5% of the vote, but it seems to have gotten worse in the new game.

Peroutka pulled something like 25% in Illinois and Utah. Paul came in 3rd in DC, with 7% of the vote.

The 3rd parties never get more than 5% combined when I play.

Are you serious? In the one game I have played (see above), they got 16.4% combined. It was like the Perot factor all over again.

I beat Thompson 403-135 in the EC, and won the PV 56.8-43.2.  I lost Kansas by 900 votes, and lost Georgia by 1,379.

But you didn't flip WV or VA? Odd.

Here's a result Xahar might like:


Roosevelt: 27% PV, 285 EV
Wilson: 26% PV, 129 EV
Taft: 26% PV, 65 EV
Debs: 19% PV, 52 EV

You bet I do. Cheesy Who did you play as?

You know that you can download it for $9.99 right?  I have the original version and PF+P.

Yeah, but I've pretty much exhausted all my gift-recieving capital with my parents until my birthday.

I took a page of Xahar’s book and played as Debs:

Roosevelt: 27% PV, 234 EV
Debs: 21% PV, 141 EV
Wilson: 26% PV, 133 EV
Taft: 23% PV, 23 EV

Congress elected Wilson, even tough he came in second in the PV and third in the EV, sorry Xahar Tongue

Aww man. Sad

Weird results:

Clinton: 57.5% PV, 349 EV
Romney: 42.5% PV, 189 EV

My best state was Maryland, which I won 75-25; Romney's best state was Wyoming, with 57.5%.  I ran 74.6 in MA, and 73.2 in NY.  I hit him with a high level scandal right at the end, and ran so many ads that I ran out of funds in the final days of the campaign.

This is weird. Look at Utah:

I started out playing as Gore, with Clinton and Obama turned off. My campaign was looking good, but Edwards took leads in all the pre-Super Tuesday states, killing my momentum. Nevertheless, I took it all the way to the convention, with Edwards getting the nomination and choosing Barbara Boxer as his running mate.

Second, very close to third. Me and Peroutka each got about 25%.

I've never had third parties do that well; they usually combine for around 2%.

AutoUpdate just delivered a 1992 scenario for PF+P. I plan on playing it.

If you go to the page before this one, you'll see a heartbreaking election that the 1992 scenario gave me.

Yeah, I saw that.

Playing as Clinton, this is how the GE situation looks at the beginning of primaries:



Smiley

Two weeks later, the Democrats have leads in MN and IA, Bush leads in VA, IN, MS, and ND (losing AL), and Perot has lost all states but ME.

Headline on January 20:

Clinton Cheated On Hillary, With Flowers!

wtf?

Headline on January 29:

Bush Comfortably Ahead Of Perot In Polls

Uh-oh.

Headline on February 5:

Jerry Brown's Disturbing Behavior: Is He Crazy?

LOL

I beat Tsongas 1970 to 1437. On to the GE!

Tickets:
George Bush/Pete Wilson (Dump Quayle?)
Bill Clinton/Lloyd Bentsen (We are going to OWN the South!)
Ross Perot/Pat Choate (Not sure either.)

September 1:

Not particularly optimistic.

Headlines on September 11:

Clinton Scandal!!!
Clinton Scandal!!!
Clinton Scandal!!!

That's right, three.

September 14, feeling better:



Texas helps.

September 20:

The San Francisco Chronicle and San Jose Mercury News just endorsed Bush. I'm confused.

September 28:



It's over.

October 6, if the election happened today:



267-241-30

Election night; Bush has won.
