Need help fighting Ford

from PolMach Forums
I created my own character- a Dem from CA for my first campaign. The first few levels were easy enough but the game against Ford is unwinnable. I am winning the whole game and then at some random moment in the latter part of the race, Ford suddenly has a giant spurt in his popularity and captures key states that I was leading in (Florida, Georgia) and all of a sudden the polls are ten points to his favor! My leads in TX, PEnn. and NJ were reduced to deadheats. How did this happen? I didn't see any endorsements pop up...I did create another chracter and used him as a VP....I'm not sure if a ticket of two created characters is such a good idea....anyone have any advice? Should I use set characters the first time around? Anybody?

I am going to be fighting Gerald R. Ford the next time I play as well. I am really hoping for some tips---such as the tips I received for Arnold, who was hard to beat. All I know is that I'm using Bill Clinton and he swept passed Taft...I am looking for suggestions and advice as well.

I stopped trying to use my created character and opted instead to use the defualt Democract from CA (Mace I think). That allowed me to reach Nixon easily enough. The secret is obviously that default characters are easier to use first....than move on to created. What I did is I picked my VP based on what state was giving my problems (I created a TX and FL Democrat, so I know I can seal either of those two states).Also, I try to get at least one endorsement every election (usually foreign policy followed by unions). There are no rules I can think of, occasionally ctrl + m is useful because the low amount of fundrasiable money should be improved...
