2004 - I played Colin Powell instead of Bush:

Powell (R): 67,136,254 59.4% 463 EV
Lieberman (D): 45,923,588 40.6% 75 EV

Closest states:
Nevada, Powell 50.5%
West Virginia, Powell 50.8%
Massachusetts, Lieberman 51.6%

Lieberman's best:
Rhode Island, Lieberman 59.2%

Powell's best:
Idaho 76%

It gave me a result of 60/40 in D.C.... maybe if I had put some resources there....

I played Bill Richardson (D) vs. Rudy (R).  I got Richardson through a primary vs. Edwards (I turned off Hillary and Obama).  He started off WAY down, but I put all of his initial resources into Iowa, NH, and Florida,  - which he won - turning it into a competitive race that wasn't clinched until June.  Rudy was ahead in the general the whole time, but I carefully targeted ads and had 2 Rudy scandals that I released a week out.  This is the closest race I've gotten in P4E

Richardson 56,837,505 48% / 288 EV
Guiliani 56,602,851 47.8% / 250 EV
Badnarik 2,828,031 2.4% (6.8% in Louisiana)
Peroutka 2,033,978 1.7% (10.7% in Alaska)

Wait, you actually played as a Democrat?

...Did you take a shower afterwards?

Sometimes its fun to play the bad guy   The Dem primary in P4E is more fun since its not set up as winner take all

2000: Lamar Alexander vs. Al Gore

Alexander 290 EV
53,281,214 / 45.3% PV

Gore 248 EV
56,510,026 / 48% PV

Nader 0EV
7,926,545 / 6.7% PV

I had to pump Alexander's stats just a bit because the default character has all-centrist positions and gets 0% in every state in the primary. (i.e. lazy coders)

I took Bush, McCain, and Dole out of the primary and ran him vs. Forbes, Kasich, Quayle, and Bauer.

LA won the Electoral Vote, but lost the popular vote by almost 3%  Lots of states went for LA by very small margins, and Nader's vote was high - highest was 18.6% in MT.

For some reason, Paul always seems to break out and go crazy.  I think it's because one of the new programmers is a Paul supporter himself.  I'm trying to tinker around with this to fix it, and also to make Huckabee's sudden rise much more likely.

Give Focus on the Family (or create a new endorser) a big momentum bonus that triggers in late November to mimick the Huckaboom.
