Obama/Christie 2012
I replaced Romney with Christie in the primaries and spacebarred with Root. Cain won Iowa/SC/Fl and Christie won NH, followed by an odd Perry upset in Nevada. It seemed that Cain would walk away with the momentum, but lost everything except Minnesota in February. Gingrich won Washington. On super Tuesday, Cain carried ID, ND, Georgia, and Tennessee, with Perry carrying Texas and Christie everything else. Then Perry surged, and won everything except Hawaii which he lost to Gingrich and Alabama which went to Christie. He swept April 22 and came within 50 delegates of winning when the Oregon primary came around, but lost it and everything else to Christie thereafter.
Christie led the entire election, although Obama closed the gaps with the debates. Pundits declared this the election that killed the electoral college and made heads roll. Nobody knows why Hawaii and West Virginia broke ranks the way they did...
Obama/Biden: 312 EVs - 47.9%
Christie/West: 226 EVs - 49.6%
Others: 0EV -2.5%
Interesting states:
Hawaii: 54.1% (R) - 43.8% (D)
West Virginia: 52.5% (D) - 45.3% (R)
Connecticut: 50.2% (D) - 47.4% (R)
Closest state: Minnesota 49.5% (D) - 47.8% (R)
If you play the Political Machine, winning West Virginia is not so difficult with a Democrat.
