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

[terp40hitch]

Michele Bachmann?

[terp40hitch]

Isn't it secretary Clinton not senator

[terp40hitch]

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.

I agree and my speech is coming soon

[terp40hitch]

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

[terp40hitch]

Trump won’t win? You can’t rig the game against me

I am not the moderator so I am not rigging it but I think you will lose since 2012 was not an anti-establishment year like 2016 was

Michele Bachmann's Campaign Launch

Waterloo, Iowa

"Thank you, Iowa, thank you! We won both the Senate and the house because of the Tea-Party movement and the only way we will win the white house this year. That is why I am running for president of the United States because I am the only true Tea-Party conservative ready to run for president.

As president I am going cut taxes, shrink the government and cut the job-killing regulations put in place by President Obama. In the end, I am going grow business with my pro-business agenda. This will not only help Iowa but it will help people across this country who lost their job during the economic recision and people who are graduating high school and college looking for their first job.

Let's win the Iowa primary and then Let's win the White House."

Wait, why did Trump get Hatch's endorsement?

[terp40hitch]

I think only Huckabee and Jeb! Are the only ones who haven't posted yet

[terp40hitch]

We still need Christie and Huckabee

[terp40hitch]

If Bloomberg doesn't reach 15% does he still debate in the general election

[terp40hitch]

Did you get my endorsements?

[terp40hitch]

Hello everyone! I am just here to spread awareness for another game that's happening as well. We really need more Republicans and Democrats for "War for America." Things are really getting interesting plus if you're able to win the presidency you will be rewarded with a written custom timeline of your candidate's administration and the events that happen! Below is the link to the game! Be sure to post your candidate's announcement speech if you're going to play!

That looks like it is about to die, you should join this one. You could be Ron Paul

[terp40hitch]

I'm going to assume Osama Bin Laden is dead by 2012 since that wasn't a legislative achievement.

The operation was botched, and Osama wasn't killed.

You should give Obama at least that achievement

[terp40hitch]

When is the turn ending tonight?

[terp40hitch]

[terp40hitch]

Never mind, just saw his suspension

[terp40hitch]

Turn coming up soon

[terp40hitch]

Who won the governor races

[terp40hitch]

Since Obama got the ALF-CIO Endorsement it basically means she would win Nevada IRL because the Nevada Caucus is known for union pressuring/suppresses  their members to voting for their candidate

[terp40hitch]

Since Obama got the ALF-CIO Endorsement it basically means she would win Nevada IRL because the Nevada Caucus is known for union pressuring/suppresses  their members to voting for their candidate

That sounds more like a personal endorsement from Trumka/suggestion for AFL-CIO members...but we'll see.

Also, it probably gives Obama Michigan and Ohio too,if accurate...plus she's locked in to EMILY's list,and NARAL, by virtue of being the only pro-choice woman running (Does anyone really think either organization would endorse Haley?)

I don’t think either would ever endorse a Republican unless there is a democratic version of Roy Moore as the other candidate

[terp40hitch]

will you do a county map when you call a state race?

[terp40hitch]

How is it good news for a Republican to embrace the occupy Wall Street Movement

[terp40hitch]

i just noticed this but why is there no polling for Maine since it is the same day as the Nevada caucus

[terp40hitch]

Why did Bloomberg get Baker and Cuomo endorsements, I did not see them endorsing anyone but their party nominees

[terp40hitch]

Just a friendly reminder: Haley, Bredesen, DeMint and Jeb! Have yet to post, they have till the end of today
