Political Game Recreates 1992 Prez Race (Clinton vs. Bush, Sr. vs. Perot)

Political Game Recreates 1992 Prez Race (Clinton vs. Bush, Sr. vs. Perot)

January 31, 2008
One of GP's favorite political games (okay, there aren't that many), President Forever 2008 + Primaries, is offering the 1992 presidential campaign as a free download for registered users.

Publisher 80soft discusses the scenario in a recent e-mail to customers:
You can now add the new, official 1992 campaign (including primaries) to your game.

Can Clinton weather his scandal to take the Democratic primaries? Will Bush lose to Buchanan? Can you manage Perot's comeback after he drops out of the campaign?

That's what I thought, but this is the 1992 primary? How could a scandal taking place while he's president affect him during his run for the presidency?
Maybe I'm too young to remember, but what Clinton scandal are they talking about?
@Truec

If 'Monica Levinsky' doesn't ring a bell then you're hopelessly young :).
@ Truec

Whitewater

That is the main one. There were several others, but this was the big one.
@ Truec

Whitewater happened before the race, and was brought up during the race.

The Monica Lewinsky thing had nothig to do with the 1992 race.
Okay, I missed seeing the bit about Whitewater completely, and thought we were talking about Lewinsky. I blame the fact that I haven't slept in nearly 22 hours.
IIRC, Not only Whitewater, but also google Gennifer Flowers.
Hmmm... In my opinion the best political game ever (for the PC) is called "The political Machine" developed and published by StarDock Entertainment. Details for the game can be found here: http://totalgaming.stardock.com/games/?id=PM


Ross forever FTW!!! =]
What is it with Presidents, scandals & the the word "water"?
@ blase

I'm pretty sure Clinton didn't get impeached for lying about Monica Lewinsky during his presidential campaign lol

Valdearg: Lmao. I was just permabanned from the hannity forums for asking about her article. It was politely worded, and I made sure to imply that I was conservative. Seems to me like Hannity is in full damage control, at the moment.

Valdearg: Link in my name.

Valdearg: CONSERVATIVE blogger Debbie Schlussel out's Sean Hannity's Freedom Concerts as a SCAM! As little as 4% and 7% of the money collected in some years actually went to the benefits of the charity. A MUCH larger percentage was spent on luxuries for Hannity.

HarmlessBunny: Aussie election is underway. Apparently it is too close to call. Here is hoping Atkinson is knocked off his perch :)

ZippyDSMlee: And not taxing the 30-500K bracket so much, sure you make 500K at the end of the year add in life thats minus 200K add in the company you made there's another 200K.

ZippyDSMlee: Flamespeak: we should be taxing the ultra rich alot more(those that have more than 10 million in wealth),.
Posted 03/18/10 at 08:04pm
Flamespeak: I never understood why someone should work hard to get a lot of money, just to be punished with more taxes for doing so.

hayabusa75: Isn't the upper class supposed to be footing most of this bill?
Posted 03/18/10 at 06:05pm
Austin_Lewis: Of course, that ignores the fact that for the next 4 years, the people will be taxed without 'benefit' from the bill.
Posted 03/18/10 at 06:04pm
Austin_Lewis: If we go by the CBO's past estimation failures, they're about 300% short on the actual cost.

ZippyDSMlee: *punt*Roll call, whos on and how are you doing?

JDKJ: No, I did you the favor and said it for you.
Posted 03/18/10 at 12:06pm
Valdearg: What I said was while I may have implied long term accuraccy, and that might have been incorrect, my greater point that the CBO report calculated reduced deficits, expanded coverage, and lower costs is still 100% accurate. :D
Posted 03/18/10 at 12:06pm
Valdearg: Like any good politician, I don't believe I said "I was incorrect." :P
Posted 03/18/10 at 12:02pm
JDKJ: If you'd said "I was incorrect" 10 shouts ago, I'd have quit twisting your arm to get you see the obvious 10 shouts ago.
Posted 03/18/10 at 12:00pm
JDKJ: You were they one assuming 100% accuracy. In all caps, no less.
Posted 03/18/10 at 11:59am
Valdearg: Yes, my implication that the long term estimates were facts was incorrect, but the short term calculations are absolutely facts, and even the long term estimates are still useful in attempting to determine exactly what will happen with the bill.
