Senate Race Heats Up

When VP BaconKing assumed his new position, his senate seat was vacated and needed to be filled.  The election for that seat is now heating up.  The JCP, the party which currently holds the seat, was the first to field a candidate in Fmr. SoFA Fritz.  Fritz, a long-time well-respect Atlasian, was quickly supported by Sen. Marokai Blue and the new president.  Not long after, Fmr. Sen. and RPP Chairman DownWithTheLeft announced that he as well would be a candidate for the seat.  Always a lightning of controversy, the former senator's campaign was met with fanfare and also jeers.  He proclaimed that he desired to take Atlasia back to the state it was in before he left, a comment that drew the ire of Sen. Afleitch who stated that the last thing we needed was DWTL's vision for Atlasia.

After these two candidates, the speculation turned to whether the DA would nominate the own candidate or coalesce between one of the two.  Predictably, neither of these happened.  Sens. Hashemite and Afleitch were quick to jump behind Fritz.  Next to speak on the matter was Sen. Franzl, who declared that he was, and still is to this point, truly undecided.  However, Sen. PurpleState, a long-time advocate of balanced government stepped up to the plate for DWTL.  He was joined by an earlier endorsement of the former senator by DA member, Gov. AndrewCT.  It is yet to seen what will happen, but most expect an eciting election.

GAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

COMPETITION!!!!

[Vepres]

SPC, with recent constitutional amendments here, there is now a Midwest gubernatorial election in August. The Midwest Lt. Governor election is also held in August.

[Vepres]

Thank you for the info. Will the Midwest gubernatorial election be an true election or will it be an "election" in the sense that it has been for the last three years?

I believe it's a regular election.

[Vepres]

Midwest governor should be added to that list.

That could contribute to the rating. You are probably the favorite for the Midwest Governorship, but given the unpredictability of the region, I am not willing to make a definite rating on that.

Yeah, that is true.

Though GMantis has only 20% approval. But then again, ilikevering, Jas, and Tronheim will probably vote for a crazed weasel or something.

[Vepres]

DAINO (dah-ee-noh) fun to say, a little awkward too.

[Vepres]

Can all this non-sense about Daniel Adams having a primary challenger be quashed?  I am not running unless Daniel Adams does not.  I just want it known that I want to be the DS's next governor because last time I didn't make it clear and I missed out

I believe Fmr. Governor Duke has expressed interest in running regardless of whether Daniel Adams runs.

A primary would be interesting considering that the general election probably won't be.

[Vepres]

What about the amendment to the LGB Dignity bill?  Wasn't that "contested?"

Define contested, I don't get it.

A bill that doesn't get near unanimous support. That's what I think he means.

Sewer Socialist and Mechaman have declared write-in candidacies for the Midwest.

[Vepres]

How would you rate more racist than Stark candidate Alexander Hamilton's chances? He's getting a lot of preferences from RPP members.

Your being Mexican makes me want to be not Mexican.

That isn't a racist comment. Anyways... How can i be racist if im a mexican?

Your a self hateing mexican.

Wow! A Mexican standoff.

Just because you are a minority, doesn't mean you have the right to put down a whole race of people, African Americans, and still not be a racist. If you put down any race you are a racist pure and simple.

Unless you're a comedian, then you can get away with it.

[Vepres]

As far as I can tell from what was said by SPC, Duke was asked to run as the RPP was considering running a third candidate. Perhaps you were not kept in the loop, but the people pulling the strings in the RPP have run it like a machine, sometimes better oiled than others.

Actually, I just suggested that we run a write-in candidate, and Duke volunteered.

But you were okay with running a third candidate. It didn't shock you and DWTL and force you to reconsider the numbers scheme. It was carefully planned. Hamilton seems to think Duke decided to buck the party and run the campaign as a maverick, which you would agree is not the case.

It really wasn't carefully planned at all. It was just thrown together one day. The numbers weren't even being decided yet(on who votes for whom, etc.)

There was more planning than Hamilton believes there to be. You also would say that the numbers are, at some point, decided. I'm not detracting from this strategy. The JCP uses them too. I'm just trying to let Hamilton know that just because he doesn't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there.

Of course the numbers are decided at some point. If not, there's no way we could guarantee getting at least two members in.

Wait a minute.  You guys actually sit down and DECIDE who votes for who?  And then tell the members who they are supposed to vote for?

To my knowledge, the JCP does not employ this strategy.  Yes, PMs are sent, but thats not quite the same thing.

Well, they try

It would be better to do this in a separate thread IMO.

[Vepres]

The RPP winning three seats is starting to look like a real possibility.

[Vepres]

I would include Jas because a few non-LNFers are preferencing him now.

[Vepres]

We have four at-larges Senators or five?

This is why I am not fond of these new RPP members.

At least he's trying to get oriented, unlike some of our recruits

[Vepres]

It's quite interesting that Franzl is struggling so much. Could his recent absence have hurt him?

[Vepres]

It's quite interesting that Franzl is struggling so much. Could his recent absence have hurt him?

Yeah. He never really reached out to me and i haven't been around long enough to know his politics. I wasn't going to preference him highly just based off of PM and party ID. So I think if he'd been around more he could've reached out to more people.

Rowan is getting into the Senate and to my knowledge he has never really reached out to any non-RPPers and Franzl has dozens of great accomplishments under his belt.  Ahh the irony, the increased activity is tearing down those who helped to in my mind make this game great again which resulted int the increased activity.

     I will be extremely disappointed if Franzl is defeated over this. Perhaps in the future more established figures will have to work with the newbies, so they know who's who around here.

Honestly, I don't think most of the newer players know much about him due to that long absence.

[Vepres]

Sewer Socialist and Vepres are tied at 3s

That's just plain terrible

I think the anti-Vepres vote has turned out now. I'm pretty sure Jas, dead0man, Gustaf, Mechaman, and possibly ilikeverin will vote for me.

Thought they didn't first preference me, both Lewis and Xahar sais they approved of all candidates, thus they approve of me I've already run a GOTV PM frenzy, so hopefully that will pay off.

BREAKING NEWS: NWA has received late breaking word that Fmr. Sen. DWTL and othe undisclosed RPPers will be joining the JCP in the coming days

You can't be serious.

[Vepres]

Well, considering you've moved or registered several voters in the Mideast since the last election cycle, I'd say Ben is at an unfortunate disadvantage.

There's also the fact that a couple DA members can't even support their own candidate. The Democratic Alliance is more of a label than an actual political party.

Well, Ben is a relatively new member of the DA.

[Vepres]

I wouldn't pronounce the Mideast safe RPP just yet, though obviously I'm not analyzing votes or anything.
