Inspired by the "Dixie Surprise" thread on this board. Edited the javascript and played as George Wallace (D) vs Richard Nixon (R) in 1968.  I did this by removing Humphrey under the candidates list and increasing the campaign difficult multiplier by 5. There's some good instructions on the Alt History thread for the same game for more instructions.

40% states were within a percent. Closest state was PA, which was decided by 2644 votes (0.06%)

George Wallace / Happy Chandler (Dem) - 319 electoral votes - 54.8% popular vote
Richard Nixon / Spiro Agnew (Rep) - 219 electoral votes - 45.2% popular vote

3000 more votes in Michigan and Bush would have won.  Dukakis also lost the popular vote by 1%.

Used the advisor prompt exploit to repeat the Carter Playboy incident four or five times for a 60-39 Ford blowout:

Please explain.  I've heard of people editing the javascript to change the game's difficulty, which explains those really bizarre Nader and Wallace wins, but never heard of being able to pick which questions one gets.

When you select an option in the game and confirm it if it has an advisor prompt you can use your keyboard to repeat the response as much as you want with space or enter and it will keep affecting the game. Then when you're satisfied you can hit tab and open the map with space or enter then continue as normal with the wacky world you've made. (This is like a month later lol why did I take so long to respond to this)

Thanks for the response.  I've tried this and it doesn't seem to work.  Crashes the game every time.  Campaign dialogue box is too big to see where I'm going with the tab key. o_o

One press of tab to get to the open map button from confirm. That's the only place you need to go.

Thanks, this will help me create some interesting scenarios.
