Did the Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster still happen? I kind of need to know.

Yes, it did.

Could we get polling numbers for both primaries? I want to see if I'll have enough credits to be able to ask for an endorsement ( I have someone in mind, but I need a credit to ask for him)
I assume an update is coming soon, it's just the first day Smiley

First polls will be up in a couple of days

the Trump campaign would be interested in getting an interview as well. Also, can I get Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear) as an endorsement?

You can reserve him and get him once the first polls hit.

This looks interesting. Is there room for another candidate? If not, I'll be keeping up with this campaign either way!

Signups don't close until the 10th, so feel free to hop in!

Can the Ron Paul campaign reserve Gary Johnson, as well as get an interview?

Indeed it can to both.

Can I play Governor Kathleen Sebelius? And start with the endorsement of Senator Ben Nelson?

Indeed you can.

Could I play as Phil Bredesen if he is available and have Claire McCaskill or Jim Webb's endorsement if available? Many thanks.

Indeed you can; I'd suggest McCaskill for an endorsement, as Webb lost to George Allen in 2006.

Could I reserve the endorsements of Patty Judge (who, assuming things didn't drastically change in this timeline is currently Lieutenant Governor of Iowa) and Gavin Newsom (who again, barring a drastic timeline shakeup, is currently mayor of San Francisco)?

I don't think either would cost me any credits, but correct me if I am wrong.

Each of them would be 1 credit. You can reserve them, though. Culver lost to Nussle in '06, though, so Judge is only the former IA Ag Secretary.

My personal computer is not working, so I won't be able to really commit to the game, so I have to drop out. I posted a speech in the gameplay forum. I hope to check in to see where the games goes! I had a lot of fun with it.

Got it; sorry to see you go, man, you were a great candidate.

Will the same thing with Michigan and Florida happen? and if not what changes which allows them to keep all of their delegates because due to my knowledge they were stripped of their delegates because they jumped ahead of the schedule.

Is Howard Dean not the DNC Chairman? Or did he have a change of heart?

I think the question about Michigan and Florida was already answered. I would have been in favor of a compromise involving them having half of their delegates, for the record.

I assume the DNC Chairman is Terry McAuliffe, or someone else with ties to Cilntonworld (though Dean being DNC chair wouldn't be a bad thing either.)

National committees allowed them to keep all of their delegates so long as they agreed to go to the back of the pack in 2012. It's still Dean as chair.

Is this game still taking players?

Today's the last day for signups, as a matter of fact.
