Well, I did the New England Recession scenario, running as Romney
http://scenarios.theoryspark.com/2009/05/08/united-states-new-england-secession-2012/
I did remarkable, but no one reached 270, and Obama won Congress, which is entirely unfair since he took last, but whatever.

Popular Vote
Romney: 35.2%
Jinal: 33.6%
Obama: 31.3%

Electoral Vote
Romney- 226
Jindal- 188
Obama- 124

(Actually, I think I'm going to run it again later, and see if I can win. If so, I'll post, but not the map. Making these close ones are difficutl!)

I played the 2012 scenario, where Clinton was the incumbment. I played John Thune. Basically, I got western America sold Thune. While I lost most of the leadoff states, I did great on Super Tuesday, and ended up winning the nomination. On the Democratic side, Obama narrowly defeated Clinton by just a few delegates.

Barack Obama/John Edwards: 90,204,115  45.6%
John Thune/Sarah Palin: 117,450,625  54.4%

Biggest Republican win: Utah, 75.6%-24.4%
Closest Republican win: Oregon, 51.4%-48.6%
Biggest Democrat win: D.C., 75.4%-25.3%
Closest Democrat win: Michigan, 51.3%-48.7%

[tmthforu94]

Only 110 million voters

Romney-56.4%Edwards-43.6%

[tmthforu94]

I also ran the 1984 scenario, with the exact same candidates Andy Jackson used. I also played as Anderson. Fernandez led the entire way. I had amazing tunout, and did better that I thought I would do, winning a couple states I didn't even target.

Almost every state in this election was decided by less than 3%. The closest was Maryland, were 20,000 votes seperated first from last.

Fernandez: 59,971,948     36.8%     315 Electoral Votes
Anderson:   60,240,171     36.9%     210 Electoral Votes
Jackson:     42,836,790     26.3%     13 Electoral Votes

(1984 doesn't have a  3rd party, so I have to do the 2008 scenario)

[tmthforu94]

Major glitch. I ran as Ruwart. Will only post map, but I received almost 20% of the vote.Romney/Lieberman won the popular vote by 3% over Vislack/Richardson, but lost the electoral vote. Like, 25% were undecided on election day.

[tmthforu94]

I was playing Regular.
It was weird, because barnstorming could give you like, +30% sometimes in states, and PAC ads could be -30% or something like that for you.
I didn't even really campaign in Florida. I stopped there once. I spent most of my time in Alaska, but still lost it.

[tmthforu94]

Ahaha! I accomplished one of my main goals just now: Win with a 3rd party candidate. Granted, it was Perot, but it's still awesome, especially since I blew him out. I trailed in polls the final day, but thanks to lots of footsoldiers, I won almost every state I competed in...

Perot/Stockdale: 73,616,305  40.9%
Bush/Qualye:      67,710,335  37.6%
Clinton/Gore:      38,831,866  21.6%

[tmthforu94]

No, I couldn't send you the files, since I'm not sure how, and TheorySpark didn't have it. Press the Update button on President Forever, and try getting a newer version.

I know Perot would have taken more Bush votes, but Cuomo ended up endorsing Perot after a long primary battle. So I picked up about 30% of the Democrat vote.

[tmthforu94]

Dole/Ridge- 48.9%
Gore/Biden- 47%
Nader- 4.1%

Pennyslvania and California were extremely close, as was Louisiana and New Hampshire.

[tmthforu94]

Andy, could you run the same four democrats vs. Moratlis, Bahney, Drexler, and Coppersmith.

Sure

Constine
L'Hermine*
Moore

*L'Hermine easily wins at the Convention after Moore dropped out and backed L'Hermine, which pushed him over the edge into the realm of presumptive nominee. Constinue dropped out soon after. L'Hermine would choose Senator Barbara Boxer as his VEEP.

Moratlis
Bahney*
Coppersmith
Drexler

*After a long struggle, all three remaining candidates were about even in polls but Moratlis fell short in the Convention balloting and threw his backing behind Bahney over Coppersmith. Bahney would then choose Moratlis as his VEEP nominee for his support and to unite the party.

I actually won states? Woot!!!

Ha!! I won Okie, NY and CT!!! That would never happen in RL. lol

You won New York because that is your home state.

Wow
I am touched that you would endorse me over Jewishconservative. Thank you, my friend.

[tmthforu94]

Do you think you could run Moratlis/Richardon vs. Me/Romney, with Moratlis as a Democrat?

[tmthforu94]

After Bayh easily beat Biden and Richardon in the primaries, he moved on to face Romney, who narrowly defeated Giuliani. Bayh had the momentum from the get go, and never looked back. Though Romney won all 3 debates, and Giuliani beat Clinton in the Vice Debate, Romney never got on track, and it ended up being an easy Bayh win.

Bayh/Clinton: 113,545,584          58.1%  436 Electoral Votes
Romney/Giuliani: 81,768,721       41.9% 102 Electoral Votes

[tmthforu94]

I just did the most amazing thing on President Forever.
So I ran as Hatch in 2000. I made Romney his VP. They faced off against Gore and Nader.

Popular Vote;
Hatch- 48.6%
Gore- 48.7%
Nader- 2.7%

So, like in RL, Gore wins the Popular Vote.
The Map:

Just like RL 2000, percentages and everything, minus New York.
Okay, now, Hatch won Florida by about 30,000 votes, but let's take a close look at New Mexico. Though it wouldn't sway the election...
Hatch- 612,803
Gore- 612,804
Nader- 51,066

Don't beleieve me?

Romney/Giuliani: 81,768,721       41.9% 102 Electoral Votes

How did you get turn out like that?

Well, I started early on Texas. Actually, I ended up getting 59% there. Possibly due to the fact I campaigned a lot more in WA, OR, and the Mideast caused it to be heavy Democrat. I had a large lead, so I just went after lean-Republican states, and got a LOT of footsoldiers.

[tmthforu94]

Ran as Obama in 2008. Primaries were difficult, but I controlled things after Super Tuesday. Obama chose Sebelius as his VP, and Giuliani chose Mark Sanford (lol) I was behind a lot early, but after the economic fiasco, I ended up taking over the week before the election.

Didn't do as well as Obamain RL, but I still did allright.

Obama-51.1%
Giuliani-47.8%
Ruwart- .6%
Baldwin- .5%

Closest States: Virginia, Louisiana, North Carolina, Alaska

[tmthforu94]

Beating Obama in 2012 is nearly impossible. I'm like, 20 points behind him now, and I normally easily win on President Forever. And, it's on EASY.

[tmthforu94]

I ran as Romney in 2012.

Romney/Allen: 53.6% 398 Electoral Votes
Warner/Richardson: 46.4% 140 Electoral Votes

Closest States: Tennessee, California, Minnesota, New Jersey

[tmthforu94]

I ran as Cuomo in 1992, with no Perot. I've been trailing the entire campaign, but it has closed from 6 points to 3.

Map on Election Day:

Cuomo WinsFinal Results:
Cuomo/Richards: 49.1%
Bush/Qualye: 50.9%

[tmthforu94]

Either the game malfunctioned, or you rigged it for Nader to win (Increasing funding, raising PIP's, raising state %'s).

[tmthforu94]

I also ran Perot against Democrats, but I did Clinton and Gore instead as Dem.

Clinton: 56.6%
Perot: 43.4%

Closest States: Texas, Colorado, North Dakota, Florida, New Hampshire

[tmthforu94]

Well, err, it was there when I got the game. Try updating the game?

[tmthforu94]

Could I have a link to the 1996 scenario? Or did you create it?

Could I have a link to the 1996 scenario? Or did you create it?

It's from the theory spark forum.
