Lahbas 4 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I have been working on this for a while, but have been so busy that I never really got around to adding it here. Anyway, you can go ahead and have some fun with it. There are only a couple questions that I have regarding this scenario...... - Are there any other candidates that I have NOT added that though about running in 2000? (General Election Candidates included) - Are there major political figures that I have not mentioned that might be chosen in the case of a deadlocked convention? - Is it possible to have a candidate have a negative bonus in a state? (I have tried through the state bonuses, but it turns negative numbers into positive numbers; I cite and example where I had given Kennedy a -99 bonus and Alabama, and Alabama shortly thereafter became solid blue. Because of this, only Colin Powell, Norm, and Tom work in the General Election.) - Any other comments, concerns?

matvail2002 803 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I would maybe add Gary Nolan and Carla Howell for OFF libertarian candidate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AmericanDream 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 One Democratic candidate you could add is former Georgia Senator Sam Nunn, whom many speculated might try to run against Gore for the nomination or as an Independent. Another possible Dem candidate could be somebody like fellow Georgian Zell Miller, whom obviously disagreed with the candidates of his own party about 95% of the time.

AmericanDream 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Oh, and in the Green Party, I'd add Jello Biafra (former lead singer of the Dead Kennedys) as he actually did run against Nader for the nomination, though he preferred Nader and only ran because others had managed to put his name on the ballot.

Lahbas 4 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Okay, I have taken all of these into consideration. Has anybody tested or played this scenario? Is there or were there any problems with it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkmoon72 2 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Okay, I have taken all of these into consideration. Has anybody tested or played this scenario? Is there or were there any problems with it? Yes, I played this scenario earlier tonight. I played as Paul Wellstone, and ran in the primaries. I narrowly beat Gore for the nomination, chose Feingold as my running mate, and ran against a Bush/McCain ticket. I managed to narrowly win the election - Michigan was the deciding state and the margin was 5,000 votes. You'll notice Pat Buchanan got a huge percentage of the vote. In many states he got well above 10%, creating a spoiler effect and allowing Bush to win the state. I mean, Bush wins Rhode Island? Really? I think the Reform Party, and Buchanan in particular, are way too strong in this scenario. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lahbas 4 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 When I worked on the Reform Party, it became more of an alternate history election, since I made it so they were a more effective third party. If you notice, there are quite a few candidates, allowing for a decent primaries campaign within the party itself. Typically, as a result of this, he gets a significant chunk of the vote. If you do NOT want this feature, I would turn the Reform Party off, which I have done in the version I am working on. Still, I would think he would have harmed W more than you.

Lahbas 4 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'll be honest, even if I do find it, I'll have to work out some of the kinks first, if I remember correctly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
