I would be interested to see a primary with every candidate listed in this thread, and then continue to the general between the two winners.

If that is too much, I would like to see a primary of tmthforu94 vs me, with whatever Democrats you choose.

Polls on Iowa Caucus Day:

Constine: 11 states
L'Hermine: 4 states
McShan: 2 states
Moore: 1 state
Tossup: 33 states


Bahney: 34 states
Vepres: 3 states
Tossup: 14 states

Bahney did not lose a primary, and coasted to the nomination, with Vepres dropping out on February 5.  Constine, after losing Iowa, Michigan, and South Carolina, did not lose another primary, and clinched on March 4.

Polls on Election Day:

Constine: 249
Bahney: 159
Tossup: 130

Results:

Constine: 53% (62,144,355) PV, 407 EV
Bahney: 47% (55,048,046) PV, 131 EV
Baldwin: 0.0% (880) PV, 0 EV

Utah was decided by 880 votes, and New Hampshire was decided by 520 votes.

Really? Utah. Poor Bahney

Maybe I should increase my starting funds so I can compete in more than three states. Tongue

How do I keep losing?  I am not a week candidate.  Something seems fishy to me ben.

You only gave yourself $3,000,000, an Established of 2, and a relatively low PIP number.  That probably has to do with it.

Hope I'm not annoying you (feel free to ignore this), but I would be interested to see me vs. Bahney again with the changes I made.

Well increase my PIP as high as you can then and my money by 2 mil.  I'm not increasing my establishment.  Then run me versus you.

Tmthforu94 and I on the Republican side v. you and Ben on the Dem side, perfect.

Vepres drops out on February 25, HappyWarrior drops out on March 24.

What did I win? What did Happy win?

See my suggestion above.

I recommend that every candidates states percentages (except maybe in their home states) and how well know and how well established are equal so as to create a more competitive race.

Coppersmith vs. Bahney vs. Drexler vs. Valmont

vs.

Gutierrez vs. Moore vs. Pilar vs. L'Hermine

     Please. It will be interesting to see how well each wing fares in the running.

I... I... I'm not in there. Cry.

JK. I would no doubt siphon votes from somebody else, thus hurting the candidate of one wing.

     Well yeah, that would introduce two libertarians to the Republican nomination race.

I'm eagerly awaiting the results.

If I had to guess, I would say you would be the most likely to win, simply because if New Hampshire and Nevada.

I would love to see you run a game with every possible candidate there with the changes you made earlier to percentages and such, and could you go through the primaries one at a time (I know this would take a while). Like post a map after Iowa, then one after New Hampshire, and so on to see momentum build and such.
