Post-Obama - A Different 2012 (Rules, Sign-up, and OOC thread)

[Huey Long is a Republican]

May I get Former Governor Phil Bredesen?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Isn't it secretary Clinton not senator

I believe so

Do either of you have your announcement speeches ready?

Coming in a few. just need to write a good update for GORT and write up a new turn for my election game

[Huey Long is a Republican]

We'll need a few more Republicans and Democrats before we start, but I hope to begin Turn One by Friday. I'm currently debating whether to have 72-hour turns (better to move the game along) or one-week turns (better for my work week schedule so that I only have to update on the weekends). Do any of you have a preference?

72 hours. helps keep the game active.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Wx, are you really letting NOTTYLER ruin your game as well?

Trump isn't going to win, so he probably he will only play a few rounds

Then whine and complain when we tell him he can't play as Marylin Manson or someone like that

"Hello. Hello. Thank you for the support.

Now I want to have an honest discussion. 4 years ago, President Obama was elected but only barely. Since then, the Republicans have refused to work with him and instead they focus on making Obama a one term president. Well, they've successfully done it. The President will not one for Another term. Now, I already know that we have plenty of other candidates but I would like to offer to you a different kind of Democrat. I pledge to run on the Blue Dog platform for America and the Democratic Party. It's time for a Democratic Party with bi-partisan legislature passed and a Government where the best intentions are always worked on. No more party lines. I hope to see all of you on the Campaign trail!"

Yes, I count all endorsements for this turn before midnight tonight.

Gracias

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Who won the debate?

What?

The winners of the Republican and Democratic debate in the game?

these are the first ones

[Huey Long is a Republican]

I'm posting my schedule but they will really be just speeches on some days with some barnstorming and what not sprinkled in.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

the Bredesen wave will come after Iowa, I guarantee it.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Anyways, here are my primary predictions for the first 4 states:

IA: Obama (1st); Biden (2nd); Bredesen (3rd); Feingold (4th)
NH: Obama (1st); Biden (2nd); Feingold (3rd); Bredesen (4th
SC: Obama (1st); Bredesen (2nd); Biden (3rd); Feingold (4th)
FL: Obama (1st); Biden (2nd); Bredesen (3rd); Feingold (4th)

The reason I think Bredesen will hit 2nd is SC is because he's a southerner and he has grown a support base in the state.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

For the Republicans, I think it's obvious based on current polling:

For the Republicans, I think it's obvious based on current polling:

If this is based off of the Turn Three polling, just a note, Huckabee currently leads in Iowa.

Thank you.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Reminder: Turn Three ends TONIGHT at midnight CDT!

I don't think there should be any extension this turn. We've had enough already and I think it would be a good idea to have those who haven't posted to be punished because of it.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Also, how is Bredesen looking with his speeches?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Just ReaganClinton and HCP left now.

HCP posted

[Huey Long is a Republican]

I'm having a computer crisis, so Biden likely will be unable to continue (you have no idea how hard it would be to do this on a smartphone).

Should he drop out, he will endorse the winner of the Delaware Primary.

Why not just endorse Bredesen?

Seriously though, I was able to do it on my android just fine, sooo...

[Huey Long is a Republican]

If NewYorkExpress does drop out, we should get someone else to jump up to Biden, especially as it's a bit late for a newcomer to start a campaign from scratch.

yeah, we can't do this without Biden in the game

Technially we could and it add more fuel to the non-obama candidate if Biden endorses them.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

We can continue without Biden if he does drop out, as he's not even the frontrunner at this point. The only reason we wouldn't be able to continue is if the person in question was a frontrunner or it was a few days before a caucus/primary.

Which is currently the case. The only thing is it would give Michelle a giant lead over both Bredesen and Feingold unless he endorses one of them, which would even things out. That is the only reason why I think him dropping out shouldn't happen. Other than that, I am down with it.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

The Delaware caucus in 2012 is one of the last ones (May 30th), so the winner will likely be apparent by then, just saying.

Which I think will be rather dumb for Biden to endorse them by then. I think the VA primary will be alright to endorse whoever Biden wants to endorse.

you back from the family emergency transit? (sorry for being impatient, just wondering. lol)
