Shua (R-VA)-20RP12 (R-PA) : 286
Alfred F Jones (D-NY)-JulioMadrid (D-NV) : 252

Alfred, Senator from New York, comfortably wins the Democratic nomination for President capitalizing on liberal discontent with the direction of the party. Promising a 'new age for America' at the Democratic Conference in Seattle, Washington, the grassroots is extremely enthusiastic. In an attempt to push Hispanics away from the GOP and to aid the Democrats in the southwest, he picks popular Nevada Governor Julio. Virginia Governor, Shua, struggles to win the GOP nomination and is forced to move to the right to counter the insurgency from 20RP12. As a 'gift', Congressman 20RP12, is offered the vice-presidency slot on the ticket.  Senator Alfred and Governor Julio perform very well in the southwest, as expected, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada all go red and Arizona is unexpectedly close. Nevertheless, Shua and 20RP12 storm the midwest. Wisconsin votes GOP for the first time since 1988, libertarian New Hampshire enthusiastically votes for the Republicans and Pennsylvania almost goes the GOP way. A 'bog-standard' Republican victory.

Close states

Arizona: 47.6%-52.0%
Ohio: 48.0%-50.9%
Pennsylvania: 47.6%-49.9%
New Hampshire: 48.8%-50.1%
Wisconsin: 48.5%-49.1%

That would be the first time Wisconsin voted for a Republican since 1984, not 1988.  Anyway, here's my map for the last four posters:



Free Palestine/SIA morgieb- 354

Scott/ Averroes Nix - 270 Electoral Votes
Oldiesfreak/ Sjoycefla -268 Electoral Votes

Scott and Nix pound through the general election months while Nix and Oldiesfreak (on the same ticket) argue over whether or not Libertarianism or Conservatism would serve the party best at the time. Their bickering ,however,  begins to help them as many Libertarians stand with Sjoycefla and work to use all media to their advantage (similar to Ron Paul). In the end though they narrowly succumb to the United Democratic Party.


I'm confused.  You put Nix on the ticket with Scott and SJoyce on the ticket with me.

Scott-SJoyceFla Nix 268
Oldiesfreak-Spamage 272
Senator Scott wins the Democratic nomination against token opposition and chooses independent SJoyce as his running mate. They go up against Congressman Oldiesfreak of Michigan who defeats the more Governor Spamage of Oregon in the Rep. Primary as the more conservative candidate. Oldiefreak's strong support in the rust belt states of Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania stings the Democratic ticket enough to lead the GOP to a narrow 272-268 electoral vote majority after a recount in the state of Iowa.


Shouldn't it be 270-268 or 272-266?  And why does everyone seem to think that I would do so well with working class voters?  I'm flattered, but can anyone explain it?

Shouldn't Sanchez be on the Republican ticket instead of you?

Guess you're right.  Sorry, I'll post that map with the next one.

Gov. Goldwater (R-WA)/Gov. Matt from VT (R-VT) (Republican)- 377
Senator Scott (D-CT)/Congressman Averroes Nix (I-NY) (Democratic)- 161

In the Republican primaries, Gov. Goldwater (Washington) wins the nomination by uniting the moderate and libertarian wings of the party, and chooses Gov. Matt (Vermont) as his running mate to burnish his libertarian credentials while solidifying the conservative base.  On the Democratic side, Senator Scott (Connecticut) easily wins the Democratic nomination due to strong support with both liberals and moderates.  He offers the VP slot to Independent Congressman Averroes Nix (New York), who accepts.  With the Republican ticket more moderate and with some libertarian leanings, and the Democratic ticket having two more moderate Northeasterners, the race quickly becomes an exciting contest, opening up many states on both sides that would otherwise have been off-limits.  In the last few days of the campaign, however, Goldwater makes enough inroads with moderates, alongside his enthusiastic libertarian support, to pull out victories in many close states, including several swing states (NH, MI, WI, IA, and FL), thus giving him a comfortable (though not landslide) victory in the Electoral College.
