This file allows you to simulate the 2012 US Presidential Election using 1960: The Making of the President. Rules and cards are about the same, though there are some changes to take account of media power and the shift of the Civil Rights Issue into a broader issue of Culture Wars. Electoral votes are updated to 2012, and the starting support and edges are taken from election data at RealClearPolitics.com.
It has been fun to see how the battlegrounds will play out in 2012. I hope you enjoy playing the game this way!
