[MadmanMotley]

Bill Clinton/Generic VP: 385, 57%
Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan: 153, 42%
Gary Johnson/Jim Gray: 0, 1%

Switch Illinois and Indiana. Other than that, seems about right.

2012

Obama/Biden  375 (43.2%)

Romeny/Ryan   159 (39.1%)

Sen. John Kerry (D-MA)/DNC Chair Howard Dean (D-VT) 278EV
Pres. George W. Bush (R-TX)/VP. Richard Cheney (R-WY) 260EV
After a run by conservative icon Senator Ron Paul in the primaries, Bush was weakened and as a result, did not have near enough money to beat Senator Kerry.

Pres. John Kerry (D-MA)/VP Howard Dean (D-VT) 194EV
Fmr. VP Richard Cheney (R-WY)/Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) 73EV
After the escalation of the Iraq War and the economic collapse of 2008, John Kerry was an unpopular president. Former VP Cheney won the republican nomination, and as such, Senator Ron Paul of Texas ran as an independent, citing that both of the candidates had failed America. His message was popular, and he won, narrowly, being the first independent since Washington.

2016:
The two extremes of each party are nominated, Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders, as a result, a pro-union, moderate independent ticket forms with Joe Manchin at the top and takes most of the rust belt.

A Four Party System:
Key:
Progressive Party: Typical progressives, encompasses a majority of what would be Democrats Ex. Al Gore, Dennis Kucinich, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden
Conservative Party: Social and Fairly Economically Conservatives, Ex. Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, George W Bush.
Populist/Moderate Party:Mixed bag of populists and moderates, Ex. Jon Huntsman, Scott Brown, Susan Collins, Joe Manchin, Zell Miller, Ross Perot, Jim Matheson, Jerry Brown, Joe Lieberman.
Liberal Party: Classical Liberalism, Socially liberally, with it's members varying on economic standpoints. Ex. Ron Paul, Gary Johnson, Mike Gravel, Walter Jones, Buddy Roemer, Jesse Ventura, Pat Buchanan.

2000:

VP. Al Gore (P-TN)/Sen. Joe Biden (P-TN) 241EV
Gov. George W. Bush (C-TX)/Sen. Olympia Snowe (M-ME) 190EV
Sen. David Boren (M-OK)/Gov. Jerry Brown (M-CA) 36EV
Gov. Jesse Ventura (L-MN)/Rep. Walter Jones (L-NC) 71EV

Bush is elected by the House (Events remain at in TTL)

2004:
The unpopularity of the war in Iraq is a major factor, and the Progressives have nominated a candidate that voted for the war, the conservatives have the president who started the war, the moderate party has nominated a senator that is on the verge of becoming a conservative, and the liberals have nominated a former conservative.

Sen. Hillary Clinton (P-NY)/Sen. Joe Lieberman (M-CT) 252EV
Pres. George W. Bush (C-TX)/VP. Olympia Snowe (M-ME) 105EV
Sen. Zell Miller (M-GA)/Sen. Evan Bayh (M-IN) 55EV
Rep. Ron Paul (L-TX)/Gov. Gary Johnson (L-NM) 126EV

Again thrown to the house, despite coming in third, Bush is reelected, as many moderates support Olympia Snowe, and Zell Miller came in fourth, not allowing him on the congressional ballot.

2008:
With a recession, and the Iraq War taking a heavy toll, the conservatives are polling low, and with the Progressive take over of the house and senate in 2006, they too have been blamed for the economic collapse.

Sen. Dennis Kucinich (P-OH)/Sen. Bernie Sanders (P-VT) 206EV
Sen. Rick Santorum (C-PA)/Gov. Mark Sanford (C-SC) 55EV
Gov. Joe Manchin (M-WV)/Zell Miller (M-GA) 5EV
Gov. Gary Johnson (L-NM)/Sen. Larry Pressler (L-SD) 272EV

For the first time since 1996, a President has been elected by maintaining a majority of the electoral college.

Dwight Eisenhower Declines To Run for Re-election

Tennessee Senator Estes Kefauver/Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy-281 EVs
Vice President Richard Nixon/Wisconsin Governor Walter J. Kohler- 250 EVs

President Estes Kefauver/Vice President John F. Kennedy-228 EVs
New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller/Retired General Alfred M. Gruenther-252 EVs
Georgia Senator Herman Talmadge/Former Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus-57 EVs

Angered by the strongly pro-civil rights agenda of the Kefauver Administration, the Southern Democrats launch a pro-segregationist third party bid led by Herman Talmadge. President Kefauver and Vice President Kennedy are very narrowly reelected by Congress

Which leads to...

Vice-President John F. Kennedy/Texas Governor John Connally 247EV
Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater/Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton 291EV
