The relevancy of an individual’s issue positions, determines a candidate’s success throughout the campaign. Throughout my campaign, I felt that most of the states were only concerned with a few my issue positions such as, gun control, health care, and gay rights. The next time I play, I will select my issue positions based off of the concerns of the states that I wish to target. Prior to the end of the game I had been completely aware that I was not going to win. Thus I was not surprised by the outcome of the game. Yet I still learned a significant amount of information from my mistakes and good moves in the game. The game reflected the actual political process because it provided a stimulation of the choices politicians have to make in order to have and maintain a successful campaign. The fact that the game only provided 4 options/moves for each round was very unrealistic. A campaign entails much more than just 4 consistent activities. The game expanded my knowledge of elections that I gathered from the book and this week’s learnsmart by providing a visual explanation of how elections
