need some tips for 2nd half of the game

from JoeUser Forums
I come out of the gates running....grabbing states left and right. Until.

Until i reach week 21, then all hell breaks loose. I start to lose states all over, dropping drastically...and no matter WHAT i do, I simply am not able to win them back.

Any of you have any tips?

I seem to lose about 30 states all at once....every game. Once I was playing when I got a message that Kerry attacks Bush on blah blah blah issue (can't remember which one) and 48 states turned blue just like that. And I was suddenly WAY behind in most of 'em. You'd think I was caught on TV beating my wife.....or committed some extreme gaffe......hell if I know what happened. I played for about 10 more turns and stayed WAY back. Finally said screw it and shut 'er down.

Did the other side start getting endorsements? They tend to have a large effect nationwide.

The only other thing I have seen with a significant nationwide effect is tv ads.

It's the VP pick. Looking into it though.

In real life, this would actually increase your popularity I think.
