Atlas Forever 2008

[Associate Justice PiT]

Valmont: 60.3% PV, 516 EV
Chowdhury: 39.7% PV, 22 EV

     60%+ for a Republican? Did Valmont pull a Watergate or something?

[Хahar 🤔]

What was the closest state?

Maine; Valmont won it by 20,000 votes.

So now I'm some Northeastern elitist liberal?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Valmont: 60.3% PV, 516 EV
Chowdhury: 39.7% PV, 22 EV

     60%+ for a Republican? Did Valmont pull a Watergate or something?

He hit Chowdhury with a number of major scandals, including two level 9's just before the election.

     That makes sense. I've noticed that it's hard for a Republican to just win in this scenario, let alone landslide.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Can you run me against Soulty please?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Soult: 50.7% PV, 294 EV
Sanchez: 49.3% PV, 244 EV

Closest state was Wisconsin, decided by 2,377 votes.

Can you run everybody (that is, primaries), with Conor as an independent?

[Associate Justice PiT]

Can you run everybody (that is, primaries), with Conor as an independent?

     Conor should have a ridiculous amount of money in that case (as in $100 million) due to the lack of a base of support for independents.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I use the base 2008 scenario, so I've put Conor in as a Democrat, per his request.

That was for head-to-head, though.

And the primaries.  All I've done is replace the 2008 candidates with Atlas people.

Why not stick Conor in as an independent, then? He'd bypass the primaries.

I suppose I could stick him on Constitution, and alter the platform.

Do it!

[12th Doctor]

Pilar: 51.5% PV, 314 EV
Soult: 48.5% PV, 224 EV
Closest state was West Virginia, decided by 3,242 votes.

Apparently I'm not as unstoppable as I was in previous editions.

[12th Doctor]

Pilar: 54.5% PV, 506 EV
Valmont: 45.5% PV, 32 EV

Ah!  What a disaster.  I feel like Walter Mondale...

"HAHA Where's the beef?  No wonder he won Minnesota."

[12th Doctor]

Ummm... question... you did balance all the factors out, right?  Otherwise, the reason I am getting killed is probably because everyone has tons more money and PIP that I do, along with being more established and better known.
