2008

I played as third party, Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani both won they're primaries. Polls looked like this coming into the Final Days.

Hillary Clinton was leading in most states

Election Night

Rudy Giuliani: 49.7% 282 EV

Hillary Clinton: 48.0% 256 EV

Others (Me): 1.6% 0 EV

Close States

New York +0.2%
Louisiana +0.3%
Iowa +0.4%
Florida +0.5%
Arkansas +0.7%
Wisconsin +1.0%
Minnesota +2.1%
West Virginia +2.4%
Arizona +2.5%
Nevada +2.5%
Pennsylvania +2.8%
New Mexico +3.0%
North Carolina +4.2%
Oregon +4.4%
Delaware +4.7%
Mississippi +4.8%
Michigan 5.0%

Rudy Giuliani Wins on election night, he wins New Jersey by 7 points and Hillary Clinton wins Ohio by 6 points.

Both maps are lol-worthy. President Forever is one crazy game.

Playing as Joe Biden, I managed to win the electoral college and the presidency despite losing the popular vote by over 7,000,000 votes. Biden took only 47% nationally to Rudy Giuliani's 53%.

LOL 7 Million votes

LOL, can you imagine the aftermath of that election?

2008 enhanced

Democratic Primary


Orange/Brown - Senator Barack Obama (D-IL)
Green - Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY)
Red - Former Senator John Edwards (D-NC)
Blue - Governor Bill Richardson (D-NM)


Republican Primary


Red - Former Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA)
Green - Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY)
Blue - Former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA)
Purple - Former Senator Fred Thompson (R-TN)
Orange - Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Grey - Romney is the presumtive nominee, so he wins by default


General Election

Former Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA)/Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX) - 281 electoral votes and 65,221,167 (50.0%) popular votes
Senator Barack Obama (D-IL)/Governor Tim Kaine (D-VA) - 257 electoral votes and 63,767,988 (48.9%) popular votes
Others (Ruwart, Baldwin) - 1,419,156 (1.1%) popular votes

I played as Obama. This election was down the wire all the way. Romney held a RAZOR thin lead for the entire election, on election day he was 1.5% ahead of Obama in the final polling. Obama's hopes rested on victories in New Mexico, Iowa and Nevada to get a 269-269 tie and Romney had to hold onto Iowa, Colorado and Nevada to win outright. Obama held the lead in Nevada for most of Election Night until the final few minutes of the count when Romney suddenly took the lead; he won the state by 208 votes. Iowa swung back and forth the entire night, finally landing in the Romney column when he won by a 1% margin. The Obama campaign could have won if they hadn't written off Ohio and Florida, which Romney had held small leads in for the entire election, succedding (during the summer) in leaving less than 1% of undecideds, making it nearly impossible for it to turn blue (or red in the forum's case).

UK Presidential Election, 2010

Here's the scenario from the theory spark website:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

183 electoral votes are needed for a majority.



The Rt. Hon. Gordon Brown, Prime Minister (LAB - South Scotland)/The Rt. Hon. Jack Straw, MP (LAB - North West) - 260 electoral votes and 11,129,201 (45.1%) popular votes
The Rt. Hon. Paddy Ashdown (LD - Dorset & Somerset)/Lembit Öpik, MP (LD - Mid-Wales) - 63 electoral votes and 5,840,068 (23.7%) popular votes
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London (CON - Greater London)/The Rt. Hon. Baroness Sayeeda Warsi (CON-Yorkshire) - 39 electoral votes and 7,717,378 (31.3%) popular votes

My narrative (i'm very bored at the moment):
The Prime Minister turned his popularity around as he seamlessly pulled the country along the transition from the United Kingdom to the United Republic. Brown quickly becomes the best possible candidate that the Labour Party could field for the position of President of the United Republic.

The parallel Parlimentary election brings a Labour-Liberal Democratic coalition government, but with the Conservatives being the largest single party. The new parliment is headed by Ed Milliband. David Cameron, expecting his party to easily sweep to victory, refused to run in the Presidential Election, instead deciding to endorse none other than Boris Johnson. Nick Clegg, expecting a hung parliment, also refused to run endorsing a party elder, Paddy Ashdown.

As the campaign began, Gordon Brown and Paddy Ashdown both agreed to a none aggression pact, both deciding to attack Johnson. Brown easily built up a lead in the early weeks of the campaign, eventually breaking into traditional Tory strongholds, down south. Ashdown secured leads in the south-west and Northern Scotland. The Johnson campaign began to crumble further as areas such as Kent and Essex ended up firmly placed in the Brown column.

On Election Night, as expected, Brown was declared the President-Elect, winning in a 14-point margin over Johnson, who placed in a distant third in the electoral college.

I have no idea how I carried Kansas and North Dakota, neither Gore nor Obama visited there once and I think I ran one commercial in those state during the whole game.

My 2012 Enhanced Election Scenario. It was close but Obama pulled it out over Romney in the final weeks. A note, Puerto Rico is a state in said scenario with 7 electoral votes.

(D)-Pres. Barack Obama, IL/VP. Joe Biden, DE: 305 EV, 50.7%
(R)-Fmr Gov. Mitt Romney, MA/Gov. Andre Bauer, SC: 240 EV, 46.4%
(Con)-Ms. Diane Beall Templin, CA/Mr. Chuck Baldwin, FL: 0 EV, 2.9%

Do you mind uploading that please?

1976

Governor James "Jimmy" Carter (D-GA)/Senator Walter Mondale (D-MN) - 295 electoral votes and 52,737,833 (52.8%) popular votes
President Gerald Ford (R-MI)/Senator Bob Dole (R-KS) - 244 electoral votes and 45,457,645 (45.5%) popular votes
Eugene McCarthy (I-MN) - 1,640,905 (1.6%) popular votes

Despite the safe popular vote win for Carter, the electoral vote was extremely close, with the election being decided by 1.4% of the Illinois vote. Carter swept the south deep south, winning by safe margins everywhere except for Louisiana (decided by 1.3%). Ford did poorly in "safe" Republican states, not reaching 60% in any state nationwide. The result was closer than expected due to Ford sweeping undecideds in many of the toss-up/lean Democratic states. This resulted in surprising losses for Carter in states like Minnesota, Texas, Wisconsin, Maryland and Ohio.

Ventura/Barkley's not possible.

It is, electors in Minnesota just couldn't vote for them though (right?).

1996

President Bill J. Clinton (D-AR)/Senator John Kerry (D-MA) - 316 electoral votes and 44,936,240 (37.9%) popular votes
Senator Phil Gramm (R-TX)/Former Representative Jack Kemp (R-NY-31) - 142 electoral votes and 40,186,688 (33.9%) popular votes
Ross Perot (Reform-TX)/Pat Choate (Reform-DC) - 80 electoral votes and 33,535,522 (28.3%) popular votes

I played at Perot. The electoral would have gone to the house if Illinois, Wisconsin, Utah, Maine had flipped to Perot with Nevada, New Hampshire and Georgia flipping to Gramm. The closest state was New Hampshire which Clinton won by 8 votes.
