I'd like to see advertising budgets divided by type.
Fundraising totals for a candidate
Things like where the cnadidates spent most of their time. WHAT they spent most of their time doing: %'s of time spent fund raising, making ads, wasted (you know what I mean!), travelling, building HQ's,
etc...

Completely agree.

I'd also like to see the popular vote breakdown state by state.

Plus have an option to save the endgame for later review.

I would like to see the state-by-state results as each state is won on election night. When the state lights up, show a pop up window or something with the state's vote percentages as it turns blue or red. Also, below the electoral college results, it'd be nice to see a running estimate of popular vote share. Nowhere in the game do I see popular vote displayed as a percentage.

I really love the game, and will be posting my own thoughts and suggestions this weekend.

If you really like stats, you can go back to map view after the game and you can use the state details and candidate details to find out the ending standings on just about everything that has happend in the game.

Yeah I know about those... that's why the stuff I mentioned is the stuff I'd still like to see because it's not on the map.

Also the State-state results coming in with totals showing would be COOL, as sugested ABOVE by FIREBALL. GREAT IDEA!

Bump. This idea might not be too tough to execute by SD once any bug issues are out of the way...

Any official "ickI don't like it" or "Yeah it's neat but..." from the frog?

I think for election night it should go to the first state, have a pop up with both canidates, then have 0% under each canidates face and name. Then build up to 100% over 10 seconds, show "winner" and then the state turns color, and so on for each state. That would really build up the suspense of election night!

I'd say right now we're just trying to make sure the game is working smoothly. I like stats too though.

Good to know...

So far it's pretty darn bugfree, and with the vaunted (yeah I'd say vaunted) SD support for their games... I expect GREAT things for thisgame, GREAT things I tell you!

Game is solid as a rock for me. And I mean super duper solid and bug-free. Though I am also a stat whore to the 10th degree! More stats please, woot!
