Barack Obama (D-IL) / Bill Richardson (D-NM) : 285
David Coppersmith (R-NC) / John McCain (R-AZ) : 263
I lost Ohio by 2%, polls showed me up by 6% there.
Who's David Coppersmith?
Oh, so as not to doublepost:
I was too lazy to bother doing the map, so I took a screenshot.
Senator Eugene McCarthy/ Senator George McGovern (D)
Mr. Richard Nixon/ Governor Spiro Agnew (R)
Governor George Wallace/ General Curtis LeMay (I)
The primaries were as intense as they were in reality-- I narrowly won against Humphrey and Kennedy, went along lines of ideology rather than practicality when choosing George McGovern as my running mate and then had to contend with a "McCarthy's nomination splits party" event.
The election phase was tough, but I eventually won. Wallace and Nixon split the right-wing vote so much that I was able to capture Texas, which was a big boost. I actually outperformed Nixon in a few of the Wallace states.
Where's the '68 scenario from?
I'd like the 68' scenario too.....
And this is Wallace (me) vs. Reagan 1976
