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%

You couldn't by any chance PM me the files for the 92 scenario please? My version only came with 04 and 08 for some reason.

2008 enhanced as Obama

Democratic primary
Green - Senator Obama
Blue - Senator Clinton
Red - Former Senator Edwards
Yellow - Congressman Kucinich
Orange - Senator Dodd



General election - The Obama/Bayh ticket had a slight lead over the Thompson/Guiliani ticket until the economy collapsed along with the stock markets and the public's patience with the GOP.

Senator Barack Obama (D-IL)/Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) - 392 electoral votes and 70,678,744 (54.3%) popular votes
Former Senator Fred Thompson (R-TN)/Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY) - 146 electoral votes and 50,426,421 (38.7%) popular votes
Chuck Baldwin (C-FL)/Darrell Castle (C-TN) - 0 electoral votes and 5,211,452 (4%) popular votes
Former Representative Bob Barr (L-GA)/Lance Brown (L-CA) - 0 electoral votes and 3,964,605 (3%) popular votes

The closest state was Texas with it voting for Senator Thompson by a 0.5% margin. There were some good third party showing including Chuck Baldwin getting 17.9% in Alabama. Both members of the GOP ticket got crushed in their home states with Obama getting over 60% in both Tennessee and New York.

2008 enhanced as Obama

Primaries

In early December, Senator Clinton's campaign completely collapsed as Senator Obama sailed into the lead due to the momentum from his speech at the Jefferson-Jackson dinner coupled with Bill Clinton getting overly negative in South Carolina. Barack Obama was declared the presumptive nominee on March 4th after easily winning the Ohio and Texas (aswell as Vermont and Rhode Island) primaries. Senator Clinton then agreed to become Obama's running mate on March 17th after losing the Wisconsin primary yet winning an extremely close Hawaii primary.

A close Republican primary went on through the summer between Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and John McCain. Giuliani limped over the majority delegate mark after he recieved the endorsement of Senator McCain. Mayor Guiliani went onto select Senator John Thune of South Dakota as his running mate.

Democratic Primary map

Green - Senator Barack Obama (D-IL)
Yellow - Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY)
Grey - Senator Obama wins by default due to Clinton becoming his running mate


General election

Obama consistently held a solid lead in the polls throughout the campaign, never once falling below the 270 electoral vote threshold, until the financial crisis hit and a solid lead became a commanding lead and nearly all the swing states fell into the Obama column. Senator Obama ran a brilliant campaign, receiving all newspaper endorsements from the left and right wing aswell as the endorsement of the Republican National Committee on September 14th. Barack Obama won all 3 of the debates, including the first and last in which he "triumphed" and Senator Thune won the vice-presidential debate.

Mayor Guiliani's campaign continuted to collapse with no good news for the Guiliani/Thune ticket. The election was called for now-President Elect Obama at 9pm with the polls closing in the central time zone.

General election map

Senator Barack Obama (D-IL)/Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) - 439 electoral votes and 73,615,476 (56.5%) popular votes
Former Mayor Rudy Guiliani (R-NY)/Senator John Thune (R-SD) - 99 electoral votes and 45,246,426 (34.8%) popular votes
Others - 0 electoral votes and 11,320,192 (8.7%) popular votes

2008

After increasing his lead week after week from the beginning the the general election, Al Gore easily triumphed against Mike Huckabee to become the 44th President of the United States (even after running out of funds a week away from the election).

Former Vice President Al Gore (D-TN)/Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) - 436 electoral votes and 68,242,246 (57.6%) popular votes
Former Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR)/Former Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) - 102 electoral votes and 46,780,455 (39.5%) popular votes
Other - 2.9% of the popular votes

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

How did you get turn out like that?

Edwards v. Gingrich, with myself as Edwards.

It's the first time I've ever played this game, and I did horribly as you can see

Yeah, it's a little difficult to figure out at first, certainly the primaries, but you'll figure it out after a while.

Now that I know what I'm doing, I did an Edwards v. Gingrich rematch, and barely won 281-257. Gingrich narrowly carried Oregon with 7000, and Tennessee by 20,000 or so. Edwards narrowly held onto California, by about 1.5%, and carried Connecticut with less than 2000 votes. A screwy map, but I'm glad I finally won.

I still find it hilarious you lost Hawaii

I find it hilarious how the 08 scenario is based so much off the 04 numbers. (I.E. California and Hawaii can easily fall into the swing column and Indiana is almost as red as Wyoming and Idaho.)
