Here's my results from the 2020 scenario:



Stephanie Herseth/Michael Garcia-32% 343 EV
J.C. Watts/Melissa Hart-29% 163 EV
Matt Gonzalez/John Eder-19% 25 EV (Washington, Oregon, Vermont and Maine)
Michael Badnarik/Diana Devot-17% 7 EV (Alaska and New Hampshire)

Arizona and Rhode Island should also be >20%.

The two closest states were Florida and North Carolina in which I won both by around 7,000 votes


I played the scenario again using Bob Casey (for some reason I started out 9 points behind in the polls

Melissa Hart/Adam Putnam-48% 279 EVs
Bob Casey Jr/Barack Obama-51% 259 EVs

Playing as Goldwater (the scenario gave me a lot of money)



Goldwater--58% 461 EVs
Johnson--41%  75 EVs

For whatever reason, DC wasn't included in this scenario.

My strategy was basically to use my money and bombard the entire nation with ads (all positive, except for my first one, which backfired in one day, but nevertheless hurt Johnson a lot).

Here's 1912...I played as TR.  Coming into the home stretch, it looked as if I'd win the popular vote but it would be very close to whether I received enough EVs...however, Wilson was hit with 2 major scandals and Taft with 1, plus on the last day of the campaign, I ran 4 ads in all50 states, which threw states I wasn't even competitive in (mostly in the South) into my column:



Roosevelt-42% 399 EV
Wilson-19%  86 EV
Debs-18% 26 EV
Taft-20% 20 EV

I gave Perot a try...



Clinton got socked with 3-4 scandals, while Bush and I were ok scandal-wise.  Clinton won one debate, another was a tie, and I (Perot) triumphed in third debate.

Bush--36% 246 EV
Clinton--27% 83 EV
Perot--33% 209 EV
Marrou--2% 0 EV

Best states
Bush--North Carolina 59.3%
Clinton--DC 53.5%/Rhode Island 48.3%
Perot--Oregon 53.6%

Closest states:
Colorado-Perot 39.2%/Bush 38.9%
Montana-Clinton 40.7%/Perot 39.4%
New York-Bush 37.6%/Clinton 36.8%
Michigan--Clinton 35.6%/Perot 34.1%/Bush 30.2%

Despite his poor performance, the House picked Bill Clinton for President.

Man, dynamism makes it too easy, myself (McGovern) vs. Nixon



I ran a good (power 5 or 6) ad against Nixon in the beginning, followed up with ads of my own.  We tied one debate and Nixon won the other.  With a week to go, Nixon got hit with two major scandals and I got hit with one, but mine was spun down quickly.

McGovern/Schriver--61% 455 EV
Nixon/Agnew--38% 83 EV

Best McGovern states:
D.C.:  86.0%
Rhode Island:  81.5%
North Carolina (!):  80.6%
Washington:  79.0%
Ohio:   78.4%

Best Nixon states:
Idaho:  60.2%
New York:  56.7%
Alaska:  55.5%
Arkansas:  54.4%
North Dakota:  52.9%

Closest State:
Delaware:  McGovern wins 50.0-49.9  (131346 to 131124)

I may now have the strangest map ever:



This was a 2008 scenario with made up candidates, I was playing as a moderate libertarian-esque Democrat from NY against a populist conservative candidate from AR.

For a bit in this game, the Republican had 8-point leads in MA and IL and I had leads in ND and NE.

Close states (less than 5%)
Wyoming Dem +2.7
Georgia Dem +1.7
Iowa Dem +0.7
Missouri GOP +1.7
Kansas GOP +1.9
Hawaii GOP +2.5
Utah GOP +2.9

I slaughtered Johnson as Goldwater in 1964 through two highly successful negative ads and three major scandals.



Best 5 Goldwater states:
1-Mississippi  94.5%
2-Louisiana 82.9%
3-Georgia 82.8%
4-South Carolina 82.6%
5-Florida 80.3%

Best 5 Johnson states:
1-West Virginia 53.0%
2-California 32.5%
3-Rhode Island 31.4%
4-Delaware 30.2%
5-Alabama-30.1% (only because I ran less ads here, since the state was already locked up)

For whatever reason, DC was not included in this scenario.  I also won the PV 75-24

Bush/Quayle (myself)--47% 433 EV
Clinton/Gore--29% 70 EV

Clark/Clinton (me)- 57%, 479 EV
Bush/Cheney- 36%, 59 EV
Nader/LaDuke- 4%, 0 EV
Badnarik/Campagna- 2%, 0 EV

Tooooooo lazy to do the rest...

NEED FOOD Tongue

I think all of this proves my comment above about Idaho. Tongue

If you a scroll back a page or two, I won Idaho as Bob Casey in the Rising Stars scenario

I did Gore vs. Keyes vs. Nader vs. Buchanan to see which hard core Republican states I could win:



If I weren't socked with a few scandals, I would have won South Dakota (lost by 2.7), Nebraska (lost by 5.0), Louisiana (lost by 1.1) Arkansas (lost by 0.7) and Utah (lost by 0.3)!

I'll add Keyes to teh 2004 scenario and see how that goes

Here we go:

Mark Warner/Dick Gephardt vs. Alan Keyes/Pat Toomey (2004)



I won the PV 64-35.  I won Utah, Idaho, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Texas, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota and Alaska by over 10 points each, and yet lose Ohio (52.8-47.1).  Oh well, I did win Idaho (58.2-41.7) Wink

Speaking of ads- at one point, Lincoln was running five ads at once in Maine. Crazy.

Isn't there a maximum of 4 ads at a time?

2000 - Gore vs. Bush vs. Nader (me)

I think Nader creamed his pants while watching the results of this election come in.



George W. Bush - 269 EVs - 40% PV
Al Gore - 243 EVs - 39% PV
Ralph Nader - 26 EVs - 20% PV

Yep, no electoral majority due to Nader's candidacy.

Congress elected Bush.

I shudder to think about what the election's fallout would be if this actually happened in reality.

If NY voted Bush and OK voted Gore in reality, I think there would be bigger fallout.
