Troubling Times Redux - a 1968 Presidential Election Game - Interest

[Huey Long is a Republican]

It is the year 1968 and after 8 years of Democratic control, the nation is ready for change. The nation was stunned first by the sudden assassination of President Kennedy in 1963 and then even more so following the horrors of the Vietnam War. Now, we have arrived at the 1968 Presidential Election and in some stunning news, individuals such as Senator McCarthy of Minnesota, Vice President Humphrey, Former Vice President Nixon, Governor Rockefeller, Governor Romney, Senator Kennedy, and President Johnson have all announced they will not run for the Presidency, leaving the race wide open. As such, several candidates have begun exploring candidacies and speak about possible runs or not.

Potential Republican Candidates
Governor Ronald Reagan of California
Former Senator and 1960 Vice Presidential Nominee Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts

I'm already in the middle of two different games...but I am sorely tempted to take Ted Kennedy.

You can wait a few more days to decide yes or not. This is to more or less see if there's any interest.

May I run as General James Gavin for the Democrats?

Granted

I’ll take Hiram Fong

Ooh I just revisited this forum to see if anything was going on. I had a lot of fun playing the original so I’d love to revisit this as Senator Case again if this picks up more players.

both granted. I'll give this another week or two to see if it'll pick up any steam. If it can't, then I'll probably put more focus on another game me and Cabbage are working on.
