President Forever results thread...

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I ran as myself Senator Conor Flynn of Maine, in the 2008 Democratic Primaries against Senator Hillary Clinton of New York and Senator Barack Obama of Illinois. Considering I lost the Democratic Nomination to Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, when we were both locked on 0% each the last time I played, I modified my percentages so I was at 15% in every state.

The Primaries began with myself trailing behind Barack Obama and consequently Hillary Clinton who started out with a massive lead over both myself and Obama. Slowly but surely I concentrated on all the early New England primary states and few out west (California and Colorado from memory). Although the campaign didn't gain much momentum from my victory in New Hampshire, defeating Hillary Clinton by 1 percent, Super Tuesday was where I began to shine.

By early March, I found myself within 200 delegates of Barack Obama and 400 of Hillary Clinton. By the end of the month, I received Barack Obama's endorsement and was now leading Hillary Clinton in the delegate stakes. Although I won about 80 percent of the remaining Presidential Primaries, except for Pennsylvania and Kentucky (which I was leading for about a month), Hillary didn't withdraw until I gave her all my political influence points so I could end her campaign and she finally dropped out in late June, just days out from the Convention to be precise.

Prior to Hillary's withdrawl from the 2008 Democratic Primaries on June 28, 2008, this is what the Presidential Primary map looked like, inclusive of Barack Obama's endorsement of my campaign for President. The map would have looked moreso convincing in my favour, as I had a huge delegate lead over Hillary in some states such as Iowa, California, New Jersey, etc.

Senator Conor Flynn of Maine: 2349 delegates
Senator Hillary Clinton of New York: 1562 delegates

Once I had finally received Senator Clinton's endorsement in June, I was finally able to campaign in the General against the Republican's nominee Senator John McCain of Arizona, who narrowly defeated Mitt Romney for the 2008 Republican Nomination. At both of the respective Conventions, I selected Senator Jim Webb of Virginia as my running mate and McCain selected Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina.

Upon the Convention, I received a bounce of 2 percent and I retained that bounce over Senator McCain during the course of the Presidential campaign. There was some points during the campaign in which I was leading in Montana, Colorado, New Mexico, Virginia and Missouri, which all consisted of my grand Presidential strategy. But thanks to a power 9 scandal on John McCain's behalf I slipped behind McCain in the polls and consequently losed them all on Election Day.

On Election Day, I won the Presidency of the United States defeating Arizona Senator John McCain to succeed George W. Bush in the White House. Although I won the Presidency, the Electoral College map produced a boring map, not an obscure on like in Polnut's last post

Conor L. Flynn/Jim Webb (D): 311 EV, 52.4% of the PV (60,959,576)
John McCain/Mark Sanford (R): 227 EV, 47.6% of the PV (55,393,422)

[Robespierre's Jaw]

To be far Rocks,

I was running against Paul - you, against McCain - you had a harder time.

I know, but still on ocassions that I have played President Forever, particularly the normal 80soft 2008 scenario I have gotten some bizzare results, but none more as obscure as your latest one against Ron Paul. That reminds me, once I ran as Pat Buchanan in 80soft's 2000 Presidential scenario, I didn't campaign at all for the Presidenc, somehow managed to get 2.4% of the vote and Vice President Gore smashed Bush, Bush didn't even win a single southern state. Hehe.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

John B. Anderson/Howard H. Baker (R): 535 EV, 62.7% of the PV (49,655,042)
James E. Carter/Walter F. Mondale (D): 3 EV, 37.3% of the PV (29,507,024)

I ran as Congressman John B. Anderson against incumbent President Jimmy Carter. I won by a landslide, even surpassing Lyndon B. Johnson's landslide victory over Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona in 1964 by 1.4%. The state that I had my hopes on was the District of Columbia, I ended up missing out on a 50 state sweep along with a 538 Electoral College vote sweep by a mere nine points. 

Wendell Willkie/Thomas E. Dewey (R): 321 EV, 50% of the PV (30,082,565)
Henry A. Wallace/Harry S. Truman (D): 210 EV, 49% of the PV (29,299,697)

Prior to my landslide victory as Congressman John B. Anderson of Illinois, I ran as Wendell Willkie in the 1944 Normandy Nightmare scenario against incumbent Vice President Henry A. Wallace. Throughout the entire campaign, the Election was neck-and-neck between the two candidates. Although there was one stage during the campaign where I thought I was gaining leverage over Vice President Wallace due to attacking his stance on Communism, Wallace pulled back and attacked me due my integrity, which popped up as a power 8 scandal some two weeks prior to Election Day.

However it wasn't to be, I Wendell Willkie, who should have died in August 1944 was elected President of the United States in November 1944 defeating incumbent Vice President Henry A. Wallace in one of the closest Presidential Election in American History.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Walter F. Mondale/Gary W. Hart (D): 285 EV, 51% of the PV (50,956,362)
Ronald W. Reagan/George H.W. Bush (R): 253 EV, 48% of the PV (48,730,720)

As Paul Keating finely put it upon his 1993 Election victory over then Opposition Leader John Hewson, "The Sweetest Victory of them All" and this statement made by Keating is the same for this 1984 Presidential Election. I ran as Walter Mondale and for the first time, I won against incumbent President Ronald Reagan. Of course I started way behind Reagan in the polls but with my carefully laid out strategy and themes of the campaign I turned the tables against Reagan in my favour forcing the Election to be on knifes edge on Election Day.

The closest states in this 1984 Presidential Election were surprisingly Alaska, Ohio and New Mexico which I all lost and by less than 1 percent of the votes. However that is probably my mistake as I didn't begin to run all of my advertisements across the United States until two days prior to Election Day. But hey look at the bright side  I defeated Ronald Reagan as Fritz Mondale .

[Robespierre's Jaw]

But hey look at the bright side  I defeated Ronald Reagan as Fritz Mondale .

That's the "bright side"?  Four years (or worse, eight) of Mondale would have been disasterous.

Whilst a Mondale Presidency probably would have been disasterous for the United States, nothing beats that feeling of defeating President Ronald Reagan for re-election in 1984, considering it's to date the first and only time that's occured.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Nelson A. Rockefeller/Howard H. Baker (R): 315 EV, 40.6% of the PV (32,436,914)
Hubert H. Humphrey/Edmund S. Muskie (D): 120 EV, 35.9% of the PV (28,676,914)
George C. Wallace/Curtis E. LeMay (AI): 103 EV, 23.5% of the PV (18,773,533)

To date this is the best result I have managed as Alabama Governor George C. Wallace. 103 Electoral College votes and 23.5% of the Popular Vote. Governor Wallace's campaign for the Presidency of the United States was mainly focused on Law and Order, the Vietnam War and Integrity. However it was the Law and Order issue that worked both for my own stance on the issue, but against both Governor Rockefeller and Vice President Humphrey and that's what helped propell me to win a few states in the outer south and even come second in Ohio.

2005 Soviet Union Presidential Election Results

Vladimir Putin/Gennady Zyuganov (C): 198 EV, 37% of the PV (60,949,411)
Mikhail Gorbachev/Boris Gryzlov (CPSU): 146 EV, 62% of the PV (101,066,494)

I ran as Mikhail Gorbachev against Vladimir Putin in the 2005 Soviet Union scenario. It's a great scenario, I highly recommend downloading it. However I suggest don't run as a Reform candidate in the scenario. You cannot win. I tried as Boris Yeltsin this morning and I was soundly defeated by Gorbachev, the CPSU candidate. 

You would think the popular reformist two term President of the Soviet Union would defeat the unknown Conservative candidate Vladimir Putin. But guess who won? Damned Russian Politics. You can never win as the good guy

[Robespierre's Jaw]

William J. Clinton/Albert A. Gore (D): 284 EV, 43% of the PV (47,284,478)
George H.W. Bush/J. Danforth Quayle (R): 217 EV, 37% of the PV (41,020,610)
H. Ross Perot/James Stockdale (I): 37 EV, 19% of the PV (21,439,875).

I ran as Perot and mainly posted my scenario due to the weirdness of the 1992 Electoral College map, not to mention almost the exact Popular Vote results as in the RL 1992 Presidential Election. Despite Bush and Clinton collecting more than 50-60% in more than just one state.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Mary Moore/Brian Phillips (D): 342 EV, 54% of the PV (67,366,156)
Roy Webb/Christopher Warren (R): 196 EV, 45% of the PV (56,871,541)

I played in my custom made 2008 scenario for the original President Forever as Senator Mary Moore of Oregon against Congressman Roy Webb of Colorado. Throughout the Presidential Campaign of 2008, it was a hard fought and tight race between Webb and Moore. However I managed to pull narrowly ahead of Webb in the final week of the Campaign, thus giving me (Senator Moore) an advantage on Election Day.

The closest state you ask? Oklahoma. Given to Congressman Webb by just 260 votes. Despite Congressman Webb leading Oklahoma by more than 20 points on Election Day, I somehow managed to pull back a twenty point margin. And those boys at ARG thought they got their polling wrong at the Democratic New Hampshire Primary. LOL.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Roy Webb/Christopher Warren (R): 330 EV, 53% of the PV (66,728,503)
Mary Moore/Brian Phillips (D): 208 EV, 46% of the PV (57,442,342)

I played once again in my custom made scenario for the original President Forever, this time as Colorado Congressman Roy Webb. Coming into Election Day, it was a tie between Webb and Moore in the polls. However, according to statewide polling, I had exactly 270 Electoral College votes which would see me become President of the United States and on Election Night it was to be the case. Though on Election Night I was surprised with some of the results. Most notably the conservative Webb winning Rhode Island, over the tailor-made liberal for Rhode Island: Senator Moore and the shading of Wisconsin. 

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Barry Goldwater/William E. Miller (R): 286 EV, 51% of the PV (40,723,579)
Lyndon B. Johnson/Hubert H. Humphrey (D): 252 EV, 48% of the PV (37,834,652)

I ran as Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona in a 1964 scenario for the original President Forever. I somehow managed to win the Presidency of the United States after trailing Lyndon B. Johnson in the polls by 22 points at the start of the 1964 Presidential campaign and win despite trailing Johnson 51-43 in Election Day polls. President Forever has it's ways doesn't it?

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Lyndon B. Johnson/Hubert H. Humphrey (D): 270 EV, 49% of the PV (39,067,006)
Conor L. Flynn/Mark O. Hatfield (R): 266 EV, 50% of the PV (39,656,501)

Considering that I was able to defeat President Lyndon Johnson as Senator Barry Goldwater last night, I tried to defeat President Lyndon Johnson as the moderate Governor Conor Flynn of Maine. Whilst I did win the Popular Vote by 589,495 votes I lost the 1964 Presidential Election. I could have won the Presidency had either Illinois, New Jersey, Indiana or Florida voted for Governor Flynn, but Conor Flynn as President of the United States during the 1960's was not to be

I was quite surprised with the results of the Presidential Election and no because of how close it was. Throughout the Presidential Campaign of 1964 I was trailing President Johnson in every Poll, including the last Poll taken on Election Day and this is what the expected Electoral College map of 1964 was supposed to look like (according to Polls anyway):

Lyndon B. Johnson/Hubert H. Humphrey (D): 397 EV, 50% of the PV
Conor L. Flynn/Mark O. Hatfield (R): 138 EV, 44% of the PV
Undecided 2% of the PV

Damn President Forever

[Robespierre's Jaw]

You didn't win Maine?

Nope. I lost it 54-45 to Johnson. So much for being "popular" in Maine .

Have no idea why I lost it. Even though I campaigned in Maine heavily and ran all of my commercials there from the start of the 1964 Presidential Campaign from September to November. Most importantly is how did I win the Deep South and won 80% of the vote in Mississippi?

[Robespierre's Jaw]

My ultimate political dream: Warner whipping Romney's ass.

And mines Paul Wellstone getting whipped by Barbara Milkulski. Take your pick.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

James E. Carter/Walter F. Mondale (D): 51% of the PV (51,666,761)
Ronald W. Reagan/George H.W. Bush (R): 48% of the PV (48,208,786)

I ran as incumbent President Jimmy Carter against former Governor Ronald Reagan without Congressman John B. Anderson running as an Independent, and I somehow managed to win a second term in the White House despite the issues of Inflation and the Oil Crisis not being settled by the Carter Administration prior to the 1980 Presidential Election. None the less, I was proud with my efforts, but I have produced much greater victories over Reagan as Carter .

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Since I had free time tonight I decided to run this election. It involves Ben Constine and gporter. I hope neither is offended that I put them in my P4E game without their consent, I was just so interested to see what would happen in this election. I ran as a joke independent candidate with no money and did no campaigning.

BenConstine/Sensei (D): 278 EV; 50% of the PV (62,981,920 votes)
Gporter/Inks (R): 260 EV; 49% of the PV (61,125,903 votes)
Joe Kanjowski (I): 0 EV; )% of the PV (259,260 working men!)

The Constine Administration will now begin, and I may just have the president run for reelection and report on those reults.

What was my platform (awesome, btw)?

Likewise with mine PBrunsel . That scenario looks pretty awesome if you ask me. Could you send it?

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Chuck Buchanan/Steve Conrad (R): 240 EV, 31% of the PV (38,983,111)
Gary Lewis/Henrietta Chisholm (D): 230 EV, 35% of the PV (44,496,215)
Patricia Swift/Dennis McGuire (G): 47 EV, 17% of the PV (21,412,791)
Nathan Bobrick/Barbara Mitchell (I): 21 EV, 16% of the PV (20,265,252)

I played my custom made 2008 scenario, this time as Green candidate Patricia Swift of New York. And what a weird election it turned out to be. As usual, I didn't begin running my commercials until the last two weeks of the 2008 Presidential Campaign and in the process, I found myself leading in New York on Election Day narrowly over the Democratic candidate Gary Lewis of Tennessee. On Election Night, I managed to win New York, as long as Virginia and Vermont and in the process caused about ten states to be decided with the winner gaining 30 percent, even 20 percent in Ohio. Sadly, I didn't win as Swift, as the United States Congress' selected Gary Lewis to become President.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Ralph Nader/Peter Camejo (I): 402 EV, 50% of the PV (62,399,040)
John Kerry/John Edwards (D): 119 EV, 37% of the PV (46,409,712)
George W. Bush/Dick Cheney (R): 17 EV, 12% of the PV (15,252,019)

Early this afternoon I was bored, so I decided to run a little experiment on the original President Forever. My experiment involved myself running as both President Bush and Senator Kerry, however I would not be campaigning nor would I be running any advertisements. The only thing that I would do in the six week campaign would be changing all of my platform. For two weeks Kerry was the conservative and Bush was the liberal, then the following week it was vice versa, then in the final week of the campaign both Kerry and Bush were moderates. Then, the rest is history. Ralph Nader was elected President of the United States. May God have mercy on us all.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

That looks like a really cool scenario Hashemite. If you have enough time you should make a France 1995 scenario for the US Presidential Election of 1996 (I believe there is a scenario for it, not sure where exactly on the 80soft forum it is though). Is there a chance that you might be able to send it to me and to the others that own President Forever + Primaries? I know I would .

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Stephanie Perry/Rodney Benjamin (R): 307 EV, 53% of the PV (66,373,857)
Mary Moore/Brian Phillips (D): 231 EV, 46% of the PV (57,904,288)

I ran as the maverack Governor from Washington state Republican Stephanie Perry. I didn't run any advertisements, as always, and by Election Day I found myself in a dead heat with the Senator from Oregon Mary Moore. Then it happened. I won the Presidency of the United States and somehow managed to win in a vast majority of states with sixty or more percent. President Forever is sure one weird game.

2006 Presidential Election

Don Butler/Jeff Haffley (R): 249 EV, 35% of the PV (44,585,206)
Seth Gillette/Jim Jerich (I): 179 EV, 31% of the PV (38,579,869)
Ricky Rafferty/Andrea Wyatt (D): 99 EV, 32% of the PV (40,781,233)

In the 2006 West Wing scenario I ran as North Dakota Senator Seth Gillette, a liberal third party candidate. My opponents were the extremely conservative Reverend Don Butler of Virginia and the extremely liberal Senator Ricky Rafferty of Vermont. The 2006 Presidential Election similar to my past games played both in President and Prime Minister Forever was a rollercoster of an election. For the most part of the election Reverend Butler led for most of the campaign, until a series of negative advertisements released by the Gillette campaign propelled Senator Rafferty into the lead. Yet Senator Rafferty's lead disappeared when I did the same to her campaign, by releasing a series of negative advertisements in crucial Democratic states I was targetting. By Election Day, polls indicated that Butler had a narrow lead over Rafferty 37 percent to 33 percent, with Gillette coming in a distant third with 27 percent. By Election Night I had managed to receive more than 38 million votes and 179 Electoral College votes, and in the process caused the election to head to the House. As the Republicans controlled the House, the extremely conservative Reverend Don Butler succeeded Josiah Bartlet in the White House.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

     Ran as Bush in 1988. I started out neck and neck with Dukakis. However, I ran a bunch of negative ads, & won easily. Dukakis won AL by 443 votes though.

Bush/Quayle, 61%, 526 EVs
Dukakis/Bentsen, 35%, 12 EVs
Duke/Parker, 2%, 0 EVs
Marrou/Lord, 0%, 0 EVs

Silly President Forever. The question I want to know is how did Governor Dukakis manage to win Alabama? Did Governor Dukakis lead in Alabama for a vast majority of the campaign or did a large abundance of undecideds vote for Dukakis at the last moment? It happens too many times in the new version of President Forever.

On another matter has anyone purchased Canadian Prime Minister Forever 2008? I considered it, but I couldn't be bothered as Canadian Prime Minister Forever 2006 works perfectly and has no bugs! Anyhow, apparently according to members of the 80soft forum its really bad. And I mean really bad.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Roosevelt: 531 EV, 77% PV
Hoover: 0 EV, 23% PV

Don't get me wrong Ben, I think your a good kid and all but will you please stop posting one sideded results. Its alright to post such a result every now and then but not all the f**king time. I hope you consider to do so the next time

[Robespierre's Jaw]

How'd you win AL? Johnson wasn't even on the ballot.

Its President Forever Xahar. Their results are not supposed to make sense. Or do they? (I would use that photo of Naso when he was five, but I always suffer a cold sensation upon using it, so I will restrain myself from using it this time).

[Robespierre's Jaw]

wtf South Dakota wtf

I'm sure that's what the McGovern campaign was asking themselves when the results came in on Election Night 1972. Speaking of weird results for 1972 on President Forever, something similar occurred to me a while back. And I can show you too.

Richard Nixon (R): 396 EV, 52% of the PV (52,935,207)
George McGovern (D): 142 EV, 45% of the PV (45,818,823)
John Hospers (L): 0 EV, 1% of the PV (1,356,238)

I ran as John Hospers, spacebared the entire campaign and didn't run any commercials and yet I still manage to win nearly 1.5 million votes in the 1972 Presidential Election. The funny thing about this election was that Nixon won the District of Columbia, defeating McGovern 57-40-2 and McGovern won Washington state with eighty-five percent of the vote. Talk about weird.
