The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.
- Thread starter DTanza
- Start date
I wonder if the game will ever be updated with new elections? 1912 and 1992 would be interesting with the option to run as Roosevelt or Perot.
Would there be any interest in a renegade continuation/sequel?
If I had any clue how to do it, I'd have done it myself by now. Imagine doing alternate election scenarios using the same format; would be a lot of fun.
Good win as Nixon in 1960, although the popular vote was close

Ran as Wallace in 1968. Nixon won 273 to Humphrey 220 & Wallace 45. Humphrey won the popular vote by 610, 951 votes. Wallace got over 10 million votes (14.3%).
Wallace just failed to throw the election to the House with Nixon winning Tennessee by just 2,537 votes.
Other close states saw Humphrey win Delaware by 315 votes, Nixon win Nevada by 471 votes, Humphrey won Ohio by 15,034. and Nixon won Wisconsin by 7,073 votes. Basically it was a dead heat.

It would probably be fairly easy to do. I've thought about doing something like it but my coding skill isn't quite up to it and I don't really want to put in the time.
Also, I had a The Campaign Trail game themed dream last night.
It was 1972 Themed, and you could play as George McGovern. You could pick your VP, as you do, and one of the options was Eagleton. If you picked Eagleton you answered a few questions, then you got a question about the Electroshock Therapy. No matter what you chose it immediately cut to election night and you lost.

Just had to share this. Humphrey/Kennedy, pushed anti-war as hard as I possibly could, ended up with a landslide.
