Close Ones!

Nope, I never play with dynamism.

That's what makes it so weird.

[George W. Hobbes]

That was a fun one.  Played as Governor Josh Hatterly of Michigan.

Leonard Hobbes/Denny Hastert (R) 56%  473
John F. Kerry/John Edwards (D) 43%  65

Popular Vote Tallys: R-70,670,053; D-53,672,172

My campaign themes were center-left on gun control, center-left on military intervention and integrity. 

Early on, I just waited to build up 4 ads, which with 3 1/2 weeks to go I ran for only 2 days, and my two best ads for one more day.  After triumphing against Kerry in the first debate, I managed to turn more or less the entire country red, except for VT, NY, PA, DE, MD, NJ, WV, IL, HI and WA.  I focused on winning WA, IL, and PA in the next few weeks, while Kerry's campaign decided to hit up states like AL and KY.

With a day to go before the election, I had about $14 million in the kitty left, and Kerry had flipped IN and KY (?) into swing states.  I unleashed my 3 best ads, throwing money at every state I could, and burned $8 million in the first day added my 4th ad to the total, and definitely went over on election day (but who cares?).

I was upset when I lost NY 51-49, which prevented me from my first 500 game on PF ever.   

[George W. Hobbes]

Before.  Playing as Hobbes/Hastert versus a centrist Dem from Florida/Mark Warner.



After. 

GOTV!

[George W. Hobbes]

My first 500+ game!



Played against Wesley Clark/Hillary Clinton, this time with my VP being from Colorado.

I ended up with 56% (70,768,796) to Clark's 43% (53,594,434), and 509 to 29 in the Electoral.

Poor PBrunsel, I lost Iowa.

PB, do you think you could send me your 1996 scenario?

(I'm itching to see if I can get President Bob Dornan. lol)

[George W. Hobbes]

This was fun.

[George W. Hobbes]

I'm proud of this one, playing as Golisano.

King of New York Metro.

Hobbes/Owens (Progressive) 45%  420 electoral votes
Inhofe/Rice (Republican)  33%  118 electoral votes
Dean/Richardson (Democratic) 20% 0 electoral votes

The new Bull Moose Party (played on The Wedge - 2008 scenario) destroyed, basically because I targeted Dean with three highly successful ads on terrorism and one highly successful Hobbes integrity ad that I spaced out nationally for three days over a two-week period.  On the last day I ran $3 million worth of one anti-Dean ad, effectively regulating the Democrats to third party status.

[George W. Hobbes]

Hey PB, about that '96 scenario...?

[George W. Hobbes]

Colin, how'd you fix that problem then?

[George W. Hobbes]

Best I've done as Anderson is win two states.

I chrushed Kennedy as Nixon:
