Fear, Loathing and Gumbo on the Campaign Trail ’72

Based on the AlternateHistory.com story by Drew.

John Julian McKeithen, a former governor of Louisiana, decides to stand for the Democratic nomination. He’s a more moderate figure than George McGovern and can appeal to a wider audience, and crucially also comes from a political background that has acquainted him quite as much with dirty tricks as Nixon.

Theoretically, thanks to McGovern refusing to step down and standing as a “Peace” candidate, as well as George Wallace staying in the race, no one wins the Electoral College vote. I, however, haven’t been able to get such a result. Nevertheless, I’m releasing it now and am open to suggestions for refining it.

UPDATE 2/4/19: Reinstated the Crystal Ball. I had no idea that Barry Commoner was in fact a real independent candidate in 1980! Oops!

Gumbo – 1972

Brazil – 2018

This campaign is loosely based off an existing “Brazil – 2018” scenario by victorraiders, but focused on the second round instead of the first round. Among the changes I made, this scenario has:

  • NEW! Updated character images and descriptions
  • NEW! A cleaner, updated map that matches the maps of US scenarios
  • NEW! More endorsers
  • More veep choices
  • More events

I am planning to add more endorsers and possibly more events and possible running mates. I’m looking forward to seeing any feedback. Have fun!

Update 2022-04-11:

  • Attempted to fix compatibility with newer versions. Do note that you may have to avoid using the campaign editor, or edit it using another third-party app.
  • Re-wrote character and scenario descriptions
  • Hopefully fixed issues with surrogate images displaying incorrectly

Planned changes: adding more surrogates, and maybe a few endorsers too.

2010 – Alabama Gubernatorial Election

I have completed a remake of the old 2010 – Alabama Gubernatorial Election scenario from the old P4E2008 game. Polling for candidates who ran are set to the official results. The what ifs from the old scenario keep the P4E2008 polling data which seems to produce a nice blend. For some of the weaker official candidates I tried to find issue specific issue positions but where it wasn’t possible they are defaulted to the old scenario GOP platform.

There are a lot of endorsers so they best function with primaries enabled to avoid a huge momentum surge.

I couldn’t see a name of the original scenario creator but the base scenario was here http://campaigns.270soft.com/2009/05/06/alabama-gubernatorial-2010/

2010 – Alabama Gubernatorial

Alabama – 2017 (Senate special)

2017 – AL Senate

In January 2017, President Donald Trump tapped Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions to be the next United States Attorney General. Will the GOP hold on to his seat in this deeply Republican state, or will former District Attorney Doug Jones become the first Democrat to represent Alabama in the Senate in over 20 years?

Candidates include Democrat Doug Jones and Republicans Roy Moore, Luther Strange, and Mo Brooks.

I might add the GOP primary later if this generates enough interest.  Let me know what you guys think!

Texas – 2018 (Senate)

Description: Former presidential contender and incumbent Senator Ted Cruz is running for reelection to a second term. He is opposed by Congressman Beto O’Rourke, who is widely seen as a rising star within the Democratic Party. Will Ted Cruz hold on to his seat, or will the much anticipated “blue wave” pull the young congressman across the finish line?
