Is it possible for a third party to get in the pres. debates? It said in help that at 5% any candidate would, but that never happened.

I have a problem. I updated my p4e and after clicking on p4e.exe it refused to run and just showed me the message saying “p4e.exe is not a Win32 application”. Why so?

Hi Joseph,
2004 does not include Cobb, but includes Nader. We do not have a full list of candidates for all the years. You can easily add your own candidates to the game, or add new parties with the add-on Campaigns Forever ( http://theoryspark.com/campaigns4e/info/index.htm ).

Is David Cobb included for 2004? And is there any chance for a 1968 scenario (with the possible inclusion of Robert Kennedy)?

I will concede that the Green party had almost a nil effect in 2008, but in 2004, it was fairly reasonable, since the base was split between Cobb, the listed Green, and Nader, who ran as an independent. I just think that if you go so far as to include the Constitutional party, then there should be some Green party options. Hell, it’s older than the Constitutional party.

How about Jesse Jackson? Better yet, is there a list of the candidates included that you can give me?

Hi Joseph,

The Green Party and Nader aren’t included for 2008 in the official scenario, but Nader and Anderson are included as Independents in historical scenarios that are included in the game.

I have tried the demo and I am very impressed.

However, a few key concerns.

Will the Green Party be included? I really want to manage a Cobb/LaMarche campaign, along with other independents such as Nader, John Anderson, Jerry Brown, and other famous players.

Hi Steve,
We’ll look into this to determine if there’s bug. I have followed up by e-mail.

When I am accepted as the primary victor, every state switches to the other party. When I was Howard Dean in the 04 election, after the democratic primary, I lost my lead in every state. This includes states that are heavily democratic. It says I have lost numbers like 22% in every state. What’s going on?

Hi Tony,
Can you tell me if you are starting the game in primaries or general election mode?

I notice that when I’ve selected to play the game with candidates with higher established ratings, they established rating for them, once the game starts drops down to 2. Why does this happen?
