The Southern Biscuitte

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

[nerd]

I'd probably do the colors like this:

Haslam - Orangered - highest ranking Federalist running.
Pingvin - Gold - close to orangered, and also close to his avatar but still readable (yellow and beige suck on a gray background--I normally cheat and use plain orange when yellow is needed).
Steelers - Maroon - Labourite incumbent.
Southern Gothic - Green - I attach populism to the color green (it comes from both agrarianism and the Nolan Chart, where I associate blue with the right quadrant, yellow with the libertarian quadrant, and red with the left quadrant--the Microsoft Logo must be finished! ) plus he's more moderate than Steelers, sort of like The People's Party (which is now a shell of a shadow of what it used to be). He could also be brown (close to maroon, sort of populist-y) but I'd prefer green as brown is commonly associated with fascism.

Alternates for the Federalists:

Haslam - Blue - more moderate Federalist, plus your R- avatar.
Pingvin - Orangered - more experienced/ideological Federalist.

Last election I had Haslam as orangered, Pingvin as gold, YoungConservative as blue, Kingpoleon as gray, and Steelers as maroon, for reference.

You're current colors are okay, though, outside of the fact that Pingvin is invisible. #PhantomPingvinForLegislature

[/nerd]

Alright, the new colors will be posted soon! And lmao XD, and true I doubt Gothic is a fascist XD.
Hmm I'll go the first option, to sort of bring back those old feelings! And XDD

BREAKING NEWS: HASLAM SPEECH LIVE FROM ELECTION HQ
We'd like to take a break from our normal election programming since nothing new has happened.... Speaker Haslam is addressing the press on the State of Atlasia. Let's tune in:


HASLAM STATEMENT ON THE CIVIL VIOLENCE IN ATLASIA:


"Hello my fellow, southerners, no Atlasians. We are at a key point in the very fate, survival of this great nation. As many of you have heard by now, there has been violent actions against Muslims, against the violators, it's just violence everywhere, and as an Atlasian it makes me sick that the arguments of the radicals on both sides are picking up steam. First off, to the Muslims, I understand you are in pain. The whole nation is in pain over what happened in California, I understand your struggle with some ignorant, hateful people. This is sadly, not the first time that this has ever happened in our land, and it likely won't be the last. They are in the wrong too, let's address them. I understand you're in pain too, all of Atlasia is but moving towards a race-hating-religion-hating society is not the way forward to peace and prosperity. We should not keep hate in our hearts at this time, but love for the people of all regions of this great nation, to unite together against evil. I do not want this, nor Sharia law for my future children and grandchildren, as I'm sure the majority of you don't want. Let us unite, regardless of religion, race, skin color, sexual orientation, values, gender, past and let us all UNITE AGAINST THE FACE OF EVIL. A House divided against itself can not stand. Good day, thank you, and may Atlasia be blessed. I encourage all of you regardless of religion, to pray or meditate or hope or whatever you do for our great nation."

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

Where's Puerto Rico in your map? (I think I just became "that guy" )

Also, no one from NC has voted so far--don't let his Cruz-inspired avatar confuse you, Classic is registered in Texas. Also, for reference, Spiral is registered in Alabama, ElectionsGuy is registered in Texas, Miles is registered in Georgia, PiT is registered in Louisiana, Goldwater is registered in Arkansas, TexasGurl is registered in Texas, Flo is registered in Puerto Rico, and Jbrase is registered in Tennessee. Everyone else, I believe, is registered in the same state as their avatar (source for all the registration information: Clyde's census data).


Preference chart:

                                                                                   2nd Prefs:

		Haslam	Pingvin	Steelers	Gothic	Total

HASLAM, LEINAD at Benefit concert!!!
We're getting news that Governor Leinad has declared his intent NOT too seek a third term. This was announced in Dallas, TX, at a benefit concert that is designed to raise awareness for the Terror Attacks in the Pacific Region. Speculations on his successor are already beginning.

Let's tune in to Speaker Haslam's victory speech tonight. Hold on....

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

SPEAKER HASLAM STATEMENT:

TSB PROJECTION: HASLAM, PINGVIN RE-ELECTED!!!!

Speaker Haslam delivering his victory speech live.. from Dallas, TX.

"Wow! What an amazing, huge crowd! Thank you. Though I hate not to be on Knoxville on such a beautiful night, I have a duty to my country. We must unite, not divide in such hard times like these. The only reason I'm talking about me being re-elected with YUGGGEEEEEE numbers right now is because TSB just projected it for me. The people of the South sent a clear, resolute message this weekend. We want our principles to be protected by outsiders. Not just me, but Pingvin, too. This was a hell of an election, thank you. I will continue to work for you, just you. But I must thank everyone who voted, not even voters for me, even laborites for participating in our great Atlasian democracy. I thank my supporters, my friends, my family. I love you all. Thank you!"

(a little bit later)

"As I have said before, several, many times actually, we must unite against evil. This does not mean uniting against a whole entire group based on race or religion. This means uniting against pure evil, ISIS. We must not ever late hate to sink into our hearts, yet unite and love. And to the people of ISIS: Beware. This concert has a noble cause, that's why I went from the incredibly beautiful city of Knoxville, my hometown, where I was raised all my life, to come here. Because I think it's even more beautiful when countrymen, regardless of religion, race, political views, gender, sexuality, everything, unite together against evil. This has been a great event. And to our incredible Governor Leinad, he's loved by everyone, we'll miss ya, but hopefully you'll be back soon! We shall continue on your legacy, you have restored the South, sir!"

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

THE SOUTHERN BISCUIT: TERRORISM



As a result of heavy investigation into the matter, the authorities have discovered that there are ZERO ISIS MILITANTS in the South. ISIS has pledged to smuggle more militants into Texas for an attack on Dallas. Hopefully, it is nothing but a threat.

THE RADICAL RELIGION WAR


Pro-Muslim groups protesting.

There is an all out almost religious war in Atlasia right now. There has been intense hate between two factions. The Pro-ISIS Muslims are clashing with the Pro-KKK-Jimboesque groups. This may end up being a new era of hate in Atlasia. Many political leaders have called for unity and the destruction of ISIS, including Governor s Leinad, Ted Bassell, Blair, everyone really, including the Southern Speaker, too... Which gets us to our next topic.

THE SOUTHERN GUBERNATORIAL RACE


Speaker Haslam, the frontrunner for the April Governor race.

Speaker Haslam announced his candidacy about a week ago, he has since become the consensus Federalist choice for Governor, campaigning on libertarian principles and continuing Governor Leinad's "era of prosperity". He was endorsed by several Federalist Party officials and a few Laborites and an independent. There are no other candidates for the Governorship this April, though many Laborites have ruled themselves out, Steelers is still a potential contender. Due to voter demographics, we are going to rate this race as LIKELY F. Let's see what happens, though.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

LIVE: THE SOUTHERN GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION!


Map of the Southern Electoral Map so far.

The Southern Gubernatorial Election, April 2016 Results (47% turnout)

Speaker Haslam2020: 6 Votes, 54.4% (4 States + 1 shared)
Jud. Overlord Spiral: 5 Votes 45.6% (3 States + 1 shared)

Welcome to the TSB's coverage of the Southern Gubernatorial Election! Right now, if the trend continues, we'll have 47% turnout, but that'll likely change. Right now, Speaker Haslam, the Federalist candidate is narrowly in the lead. Judicial Overlord Spiral, the Independent candidate, is lagging, but close behind. This will be an interesting election!
