When the other party has no real primary, they always get a landslide map at the start of the GE.

Yeah, I know, I was more agreeing with PiT's comment that ads are incredibly powerful in the game and that running a maximum number of hard-hitting ads right before the election often will dramatically swing the result.

     Indeed. Before I ran the ads, I was ahead by maybe ~50 EVs. Same thing has happened every other time I've tried it. I think I'll stop ad blitzing right before the election. Tongue

This reminded me. I must get back to work on my scenario with Jean Royer.

Ran as "me" in 2008, used funds to run ads in alot of the swing states and that payed off. I pulled out several scandals against Romney and mainly attacked Romney's experience and integrity. Nearly won IA, FL, WV, TN, KY, AR, GE, MS.



(D) - Jackson/Obama: 316 EV 53% PV
(R) - Romney/McCain: 222 EV 45% PV

Thats alright but in a nutshell I had about one third of Centrist, Right and Left but most left and right were center-right and center-left so mainly I ran as a centrist. If you want me to post some of my standings on certain issues feel free to ask.

2008 Presidential Election



Conor L. Flynn/Brian D. Schweitzer (D): 372 EV, 56.4% of the PV (72,720,670)
W. Mitt Romney/Michael D. Huckabee (R): 166 EV, 43.6% of the PV (56,299,623)

I inserted myself into the 2008 Enhanced Edition scenario and consequently ran as myself as Democratic Senator Conor Flynn of Maine. I will elaborate on both my bitter campaign against Senator Clinton, likewise with my bitter campaign against former Governor Romney at a later date. The 2008 Enhanced Edition can be found here. Much better than the original 80soft scenario. More realistic all around and added issues such as the Subprime Mortage Crisis, etc.

Tried out Rocky's new scenario:

Warner/Bayh: 58% PV, 476 EV
McCain/Palin: 42% PV, 62 EV

Closest state was South Dakota, decided by 2,059 votes.

I have no idea.  I spent a couple turns in AK, but totally ignored HI and WV.

New 1960 scenario I created:


Humphrey/Kennedy: 49.5% PV, 281 EV
Nixon/Rockefeller: 48.9% PV, 237 EV
Byrd/Thurmond: 1.6% PV, 19 EV

Closest state was Alaska, decided by 334 votes.

The state barely went to Kennedy; you expect it to go to Humphrey?

Then why does Humphrey win the rest of the South?

He doesn't.  He loses VA, AL, and MS.  He barely won in TN, LA and AR, and it was very close in SC.

But still this is Hubert Humphrey we are talking about Ben. His stance on Civil Rights would have alienated potential supporters of his in the South, thus resulting in the South to overwhelmingly vote for Harry Byrd. That's what I think anyways.

In RL that'd be true, but not in P4E+P, where I gave Byrd the actual numbers from 1960; leaving him viable in only AL, MS, LA, and AR.  Maybe I'll boost his numbers somewhat in the South.

     I would. It's unrealistic that Byrd would do that badly in places like GA & NC with Humphrey as the nominee.

I was thinking I'm put him everywhere Thurmond appeared on the ballot, with Thurmond's numbers, but make him a lot stronger in Virginia.

     Are you going to bother putting him on the ballot in CA & ND? Tongue
