2004

2004 is a mod of the browser game The New Campaign Trail created by /u/Retsassin and /u/AMETSFAN. The mod is based on the real 2004 presidential election in which President Bush ran against Democrat John Kerry.

The Candidates
In the mod there are four candidates, two of which are playable.

Playable
George W. Bush:

He is the incumbent after being elected president in the state of Florida in 2000 by a margin of only 500 votes. He starts just behind Kerry and in most games the election outcome is close.

His running mates are:

-Dick Cheney

-Bill Frist

-Rudy Giuliani

-Colin Powell

John F. Kerry:

John Kerry is the Democratic nominee and is starting with a slim lead. He is a former Vietnam wars veteran and his ever lunging statements in the campaign that received three Purple Hearts in the war is to this day a meme in the TNC community.

His running mates are:

-John Edwarts

-Wesley Clark

-Bob Graham

-Dick Gephardt
