As soon as we have a sizable field, really. I'd want the GOP and Dem fields to be sustainable (more than 6 Republican candidates, more than 2 Democratic ones) before starting.

Can I at least have my opener?

JUNE 6th 2011 ON THE ADAM CAROLLA PODCAST

You know on to the next topic and this is a very special one.   I look at the possible candidates for President in 2012. Just awful.  President Obama’s bad enough but the fact that Hillary Clinton wants to primary him? I don’t know when it comes to that what is worse. And then you got some socialist from Vermont. Won’t say a lot about him cause he doesn’t stand a chance against those two.

But really the disappointment really kicks in with the possible Republican candidates.

As I read this from Politico. Sarah Palin? Are you joking!!!?! She sunk Mccain’s Campaign and then we got Jeb Bush who which I honestly think we don’t need another Bush in the White House.

And then you got Newt Gingrich? Newt come on I honestly don’t think you have enough in the old tank to pull this off but right here just throws me off the edge.

Mitt Romney folks. Mitt Romney I remember from 2008. He’s basically George W Bush but more moderate and he also have the same exact idea for Obamacare when he was the governor of Massachusetts.

With all that said I am officially running for the Republican nomination of President of the United States!!

I’m gonna let that sink in. I am tired of the false hope and change especially that Obama promised and that the fact that what we got was a total scam. I am tired of politicians just saying things to get votes and then just abandon that platform.

America needs a president who isn’t a politician and it’s a outsider and thaf keeps his promise to his words.

And that is why I am declaring this campaign.

JUNE 7th

The website AdamCarolla2012.  Com starts up as a non corporate PAC to raise money.  About 8000$ dollars are raised on the first day.

Rest of the beginning of Adam Carolla’s Presidential bid and June and July 2011

Adam the day after his anncoument officially finished his paperwork to the FEC for his Presidental Run.

Carolla then made several online videos detailing his campaign by saying that he is running a grassroots campaign and that he wouldn’t accept any money from big corporations and SuperPacs.

Then Carolla made a speech next to the Ronald Reagan Presidental Library as the second official Presidental announcement.

Carolla then went on a tour of sorts around California on his issues and polices.  Ads of sorts started apppearing around Social Media and the internet. Carolla is expected in late July to hit the campaign spotlight in New Hampshire Iowa and Florida.

What Carolla did part 2

Carolla campaigned in Nevada and Florida on healthcare and foreign policy.

Carolla campagined in Florida for better and competitive healthcare that lets the people choose not the company.

Carolla said in a comparison that refers to love of cars by saying.

By saying that choosing health insurance should be like choosing between Allstate and Geico not letting the government force to choose your insurance.

ADAM CAROLLA RESPONDS TO ANNOUNCEMENTS OF SARAH PALIN AND MITT ROMNEY IN ORLANDO FLORIDA

So did anyone see that Sarah Palin announced her campaign for President?  *Crowd boos*

The women who cost her Presidental partner pretty much the election back in 2008 when she said the most ridiculous things ever for a politican!!

And apparently she has gotten more ridiculous!

Now as for Mitt Romney? Well he said the usually oh I will do this and that kind of speech a politician. Nothing to see here.


However those ideas are such a anarchoism. Choosing Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney would be a total mistake and will cause a repeat of 2008.

However if the Republicans especially you Florida! Then you will get something different a actual change for once.

*Crowd chants Carolla! Carolla! Carolla!*

Campaigning, the debates, events, and so on. The system is designed to allow for players to rise within reason and with a minimum sense of realism (which is why I try to recommend known or realistic candidates, so it's easier for players to make gains and rise in the polls).

Can I go on Talk Shows?

Sorry but is it ok with that endorsement?

Yes, but don't go overboard. Also, I'm not recognizing endorsements the players haven't cleared out with me first (the unions endorsing Carolla).

As Obama i'm dropping out.

1. I don't have much time for Obama, and I feel strange playing as him.
2. I want to give a lot of these other players (especially the dem players) a good and equal chance at the presidency in the game.

Sorry people, but I have to.

I will have a concession speech later today.

Well damn we need a Obama now

To be rather pedantic, having someone with only a handful of posts jump in as a major player this late in the campaign is unfair to the other players who've put in lots of work into their campaigns.

On that subject will have my campaign stuff posted in the next couple of hours

That is also a fair point, which is why I try to be careful with which characters are allowed. Would you suggest just leaving Obama out as having decided not to run for that second term?

Not really a good reason

There's plenty of reasons to credibly justify it, I'm asking whether the players would prefer Obama just bowing out of the race instead of a new player or a switch.

Don’t know if you allow this but if we can’t find someone else new. Can like a scandal pop up?
