Essentially the idea here is this: You take a candidate who lost his attempt either to become President or to maintain his Presidency in a landslide, and you describe the kind of campaign you would design for them.
The only limitations is that the candidates have to be the major ones of whatever election were talking about, and no deliberate sabotage. For example I'm not sure that Barry Goldwater would have made for a good President in 1964, and I'm too liberal to actually support him. Nonetheless if I were to do Goldwater in 64' I'd have to pretend I wanted him to do as well as possible
Oh and I guess this is twentieth century hence the board choice.
