The one titled "A New Direction" is probably the best 2008 scenario out there. A good wide range of candidates and VPs for both parties. Kudos to whoever made it.

I've won as Herseth and Obama. I lost big as Gonzalez though.

I think that's a good idea, and I was wondering if that would be a factor in the new version myself. I'd rather it be left off, though, if it added more of a wait for the new version.

Scratch what I said above about my best campaign. I just ran as McGovern and I beat Nixon 270-268! It came down to three key states, Illinois, Kansas, and Maine and I won all three in a really close race. I wound up with 270 electoral votes and 48% popular.

I ran as myself and destroyed Bush 474-64 and with 54% of the popular vote. I also got 56% of the popular vote running Kennedy vs. Nixon. Nixon only got 39%. I can't remember the numbers, but I lost two close heartbreakers, one to Bush as Howard Dean. It came down to Michigan and I lost it. I also lost to Reagan by only 20 votes as Carter. I had a lot of momentum going into election day, but I couldn't hold on.

If it works I would love to do it, though.

For what its worth I played it twice and Right won both times.

Very interesting alternate history. They would certainly be fun to play, too.

I just played a game where I had three major scandals against me. Needless to say, I lost. There's only so much you can do as far as spin and stuff goes, and, at some point, its just a matter of luck.

Yeah, it is a lot of fun, and a real challenge to win. This'll be really cool to play with primaries, too, I think.

Can't wait till the new version! Can we really pick convention speakers?? That'll be really awesome! Would we have a list to pick from, or just enter names of speakers, or what? I thought I couldn't wait before, but this new news makes me even more excited.

I'd add Wesley Clark to the Dems. I don't think we've heard the last of him.

I couldn't stand another President with the name Bush or Clinton. I guess Nader, but with great reluctance.

Independant: I'd add Ralph Nader too, that guy will never learn his lesson. Democrats: You've got all my favorites (A ticket involving Wesley Clark and Barack Obama would be a dream), but I'd add Dean and Gephardt too. Constitution: Roy Moore could run. Republicans: They look like the usuals, but I'd add Jeb Bush too.

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for creating such a fun and addicting game.
