2012 - Meh Romney wins!

270 to win

Fmr. Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA)/ Senator Robert Portman (R-OH): 315 EVs - 49,98% (65,330,124)
President Barack Obama (D-IL)/ Vice-President Joe Biden (D-DE): 223 EVs - 48,35% (63,196,873)
Fmr. Governor Gary Johnson (L-NM)/ Jurist James P. Gray (L-CA): 0 EVs - 1,34% (1,746,541)
Physician Jill Stein (G-MA)/ Anti-Poverty Advocate Cheri Honkala (G-MN) 0 EVs - 0,34% (439,584)

Just changed the hole campaign of Mitt Romney. Instead of just bashing Obama, I tried to send a beautiful conservative message of Optimism, being a little bit vague sometimes, while keeping with a social conservative position on many issues. Focused a lot in the Midwest and in the Rust Belt and picked Portman to lock Ohio. There were things pretty strange in that map. Gary Johnson did pretty well in that game (3,27% in Nevada/ 4,34% in New Mexico/ 2,49% in Colorado) and New York was a close state (Obama: 51.22%/Romney: 47.05%/Johnson: 1.38%/Stein: 0.35%).

Here there's a list of the closest states:
1.Virginia (Romeny 49.44%/ Obama 49,22%)
2.Florida (Meh Romeny 50,02%/ Obama 48,81%)
3.New Hampshire (Romney 50,15%/ Obama 48,37%)
4.Iowa (Romney 50,27%/Obama 48,29%)
5.Colorado (Romney 49,60%/ Obama 47,59%)
6.Delaware (Obama 50,36%/Romney 48,11%)
7.Pennsylvania (Romney 50,62%/ Obama 48,16%)
8.Wisconsin (Romney 50,58%/ Obama 47,98%)
9. Nevada (Obama 49,73%/ Romney 48,62%)
10. New York (Obama 51,22%/ Romney 47,05%)

(NJ,MI,MT,MN,MO) were also close.

Best States:
Obama - D.C (88,71%)
Romney - Utah (69,97%)
Johnson - New Mexico (4,34%)
Stein - D.C (1,65%)


Oh! Romney did better than McCain in Arizona! (60,11%)

Now it's time to stop this! I'm getting too addicted to it...

Humphrey Wins! Truman-like!

Fmr. VP Richard Nixon (R-NY)/ Governor Spiro Agnew (R-MD): 211 EVs - 42.83% (31,339,053)
VP Hubert Humphrey (D-MN)/ Governor Edmund Muskie (D-ME): 282 EVs - 44.22% (32,356,905)
Governor George Wallace (AI-AL)/ General Curtis LeMay: 45 EVs - 12.94% (9,469,677)

This was a nice one... I played with Hubert Humphrey thousands of time until I was able to get the best strategy. I ran like a moderate on Vietnam trying to distance myself from Lyndon Johnson while not supporting any irresponsible withdrawn, supported the Great Society legacy and my record on Labor Unions and Civil Rights. I have also stressed my support for desegregation but my commitment to law enforcement. Unlike other games, I started pretty well, I made Nixon appear and loose at the debate, choose Muskie to help me on the North and started to win traction, I recovered votes from Wallace and did a good Convention Speech. I tried to fight on many states but I've only visited two southern states Missouri and Texas (Florida I don't recall). Unfortunately, you can't know how your adversaries campaigned but I think that they just stood on the issues as they really stood.

At the middle of the campaign, there were many battle ground states, even in the South, and Texas, Michigan and New York were lean democratic. California was my last attempt of having more electoral votes and, despite loosing there, I feel that it gave me a boost in the West...

Got this 377-161 win with Romney. It was a short, 13 question game with Pawlenty as my running mate. I ran mostly center-left on the issues, supporting eventual expiration of the Bush tax cuts and civil unions. I don't remember most of the details but I got into about the 99.6th percentile.

LOL

I tried to this once, but I got Tennessee and lost SC. Then, in another situation, I won SC and loose TN... =(

Nixon was not pro-war in 68, only in 1972...
