johnny_raoul Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I'm bored again - cold out and the big UM v. VT showdown ain't for 90 minutes or so just played my updated 1960 and proud to say it was as razor thin a win for JFK in the game as it was in real life (less than 10,000 votes in NY and IL). Anthony should post it soon - he says gonna do 'em anyway, any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swing Voter Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 i'll bush, dole, anderson & baker to the GOP (and Ford, why not?)changing Immigration to the Marial Boatlift too great, if you need to see how they did this is a map of the 1980 primaries from both parties. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/8088/ElectPandC.html just go down the page a bit.

Taft Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Also...add Ford as a VP across the board for the GOP...he nearly got it. Adding John Connally might be interesting as well. Ditto Jerry Brown on the Dem side, if we're adding Ford et al on the GOP side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swing Voter Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 OK, just to make this simple for Johnny, if you want to add any of these people, these are the ones who ran in the 1980 primaries for their party, with Ford added. Democrat: Carter Kennedy Brown Republican Reagan Bush Anderson Connally Baker Dole Crane Ford Thats it! if you want to it would be great!

Kerry Edwards for President Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Did you add these Dems in 1960?: Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy Texas Senator Lyndon Johnson Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey California Governor Pat Brown Ohio Governor Michael V. DiSalle Oregon Senator Wayne L. Morse Florida Senator George A. Smathers Missouri Senator Stuart Symington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swing Voter Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 1960, was Morse a republican or had he left the party by than? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Edwards for President Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 This is what Wikipedia says: In 1944 he won the Republican primary election for Senator, and the general election that November. Once in Washington, he revealed his progressive roots to the consternation of his more conservative Republican peers. In protest to Dwight Eisenhower's selection of Richard Nixon as his running mate, he left the Republican party in 1952. After a term as an independent, he became a Senator for the Democratic Party in 1956. Despite these switches in party allegiance, for which he was branded a maverick, Morse won almost every election for Senator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny_raoul Posted December 4, 2004 Author Share Posted December 4, 2004 no, i didn't add anyone to 1960 soz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taft Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 On that note, adding Rocky in as a candidate in '60 would fit as well. Also, for '92: GOP: George Bush Sr. Pat Buchanan DEM: The real field was: Bill Clinton Paul Tsongas Jerry Brown Bob Kerrey Tom Harkin Doug Wilder (for a brief while) Paul Simon (acc. to Wikipedia) Candidates that looked at running but didn't: Al Gore Richard Gephardt Mario Cuomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
