Libertarian rightwinger, two-term governor of Virginia. A rising star in the party, he was considered for the VP nod in 2012.

Sen. Mathew Philips, R-TX
The moderate Texan senator would be the youngest nominee ever. He has a conservative record, but is willing to work across the aisle.

Gov. Ted Bessell, R-CA
A centrist-libertarian-conservative, there's a little bit for everyone to love in Bessell's policies.

Gov. Dan Burke, R-TN
Burke is an old-style moderate, notable for straying from the party line.

Sen. James Crockett Jr., R-FL
Sen. Crockett is a young far-right tea-partyist, often mentioned in VP talks.

Democrats
Gov. Mindy Copperman, D-UT:
A conservadem, the first Democrat governor of Utah in many years. Also the first female governor of Utah. A career politician, she has a very strong campaign staff.

Sen. Eva Greene-Arbor, D-WA
A far-left Seattle-area politican, she has a very high approval rating in her home state.

Gov. Thomas Harrison, D-OR
A generic leftist, the Oregon governor would be the youngest president ever

Sen. Emily Peebleton, D-MA
The Massachusetts politician is a rising star in the party.

Gov. Nathan Agustine, D-VA
A party veteran, Agustine is often called "the smartest man in politics". He is viewed as a moderate, but a liberal champion on certain issues.

Gov. Samuel Gothic, D-LA
The Blue Dog Governor earned a surprise victory in 2011, and has propelled himself to become the face of Southern Democrats everywhere.

Sen. Brandon Korner, D-CA
Sen. Korner is a true progressive who doesn't shy himself away from some far-left positions.

How much time do we have to endorse? I want to wait until I reach 500 posts.

A bit of time - maybe a week, idk.

When you all endorse one person, it gets really boring

I listed all the candidates above by the way, with a link to the signup thread.

16-15! Well, one of these races will be competitive

Not for the executives in Manhattan.

Sounds like someone doesn't want to win my game
