Maybe New Mexico with Gary Johnson or Utah with Evan McMullin?
Polling had those in the realm of possibility, however unlikely it was that either would win.

So pardon the Noob Question, but having recently taken over a PI-based game, is there a good "creating/editing PI Scenarios For Dummies" guide out there? Or do I just need to get "Campaigns Forever" and monkey around? (The editor that comes with PI 2020 is pretty crap, but I gather Campaigns Forever lets you adjust base percentages and such?)
The PI 2020 editor lets you adjust base percentages and commitment levels. You just have to do it state by state, although there is an option to set support at one level across the board.
Where? It seems like there should be options for that but most of them "aren't developed yet" and greyed out. Here's what I see:
Go to the main screen for the game, click on the campaign editor, then click on the scenario. You'll need to import the zip file for the scenario before you can do that, though.
Ah, I think I see the problem, I needed to get the "classic" version of PI, not 3.34. Now I seem to have a fully-featured editor.
More cheat than luck, but still I will smile.
Oh, btw, this is 1980, not 1984 like it says on the file name.

A Clinton '08 game I just finished. I didn't do the best, considering I failed to win Louisiana, WV, Arkansas, and Indiana, but I still think I did pretty good. Also strangely I won Missouri by 15 points but lost Idaho by less that 10 points for some reason. I was stupid and forgot to save a screenshot, but I did make a Yapms map with the margins. It was Clinton/Bayh vs McCain/Ryan

Who's always running now? Part IIHarold Stassen Forever!
President Harold Stassen (R-MN)/ Vice President Henry Cabot Lodge (R-MA)
Senator C. Estes Kefauver (D-TN)/ Gov. Paul Dever (D-MA)
Mr. Vincent Hallinan (Pro-CA)/ Mrs. Charlotta Bass (Pro-NY)
Man, this took a long time!
I decided to play as both major tickets and didn't pull any punches.
And despite Korea and corruption, America decided it wanted four more years of Stassen! And, no, the president has not made a decision about running for a third term at this time...
Who's always running now? Part III
President Harold Stassen (R-MN)/ Sen. John Bricker (R-OH)
Senator Frank Lausche (D-OH)/ Sen. William Fulbright (D-AR)
Fmr Commissioner Thomas C. Andrews (SR-VA)/ Fmr Rep. Thomas H. Werdel (SR-CA)
"Are you #$%^ing kidding me?" quote attributed to either: former President Harry S. Truman, Senate aide Robert F. Kennedy, or Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson.
The Democratic Party had believed it would be their election to lose. Senator Lausche was as popular as he was unpredictable, Stassen's second term had been full of foreign blunders, and the incumbent president had barely won the nomination after a revolt by the conservative wing. Oh sure, Vice President Lodge had willingly stepped down to run for his old senate seat and Senator John Bricker "could" counter Democratic chances in Ohio, but few honest members of the Grand Old Party believed Stassen could do it again...
But President Stassen did it again, even with the Soviets lambasting his defense of the Anglo-French-Israeli occupation of the Suez Canal and American-led intervention in Iran, and even with Bricker performing abysmally.
Who knows what the next four years will bring?
OOC: I tried playing the primaries as Stassen and Stuart Symington but grew frustrated as Stassen was crushed and Lausche was a powerhouse, so I just switched to the general as those two. I'd more than glad to keep this up if people are interested.

Has anyone played the newest version?
Since the car broke down, I've been reluctant to splurge on unknown buys and I'm curious if anyone recommends it.
