Will likely be suspending my campaign. Don't really care if someone replaces me or not.

Have fun, y'all.

Alright. It was fun!

Maybe Sestak can replace you so we can continue

I think a two way race between Biden and Bredesen would be just fine. plus, I want to see Libertarian primaries

Hey, Transit, will this game continue with Michelle Obama gone or will it end because Super Tuesday is usually when it gets good

EDIT: Also, I think after either Super Tuesday or the 2012 Equivalent of Mini Super Tuesday, the debates should end for both parties. but that's me

It's going to go on. If anything, a Biden vs. Bredesen race would be very interesting.

Agreed, considering that Biden is quite establishment and quite progressive while Bredesen is quite anti-establishment and quite a Centrist, which will make the race the most interesting primary in Democratic History.

HCP said he asked for someone to take over as Michelle Obama

Don't really care if someone replaces me or not.

Unless something changed

He still said he asked for someone to replace him, he asked Generic Moderate Dem and GOTFan I believe.

...Cheeseballs and fiddlesticks (I wanted Biden v Bredeboi so badly)

Well that's a shame. It's far more likely Obama would've endorsed Biden than Bredesen...

Maybe I ought to endorse Bloomberg . He can shake up Washington!

Of course it'll go on, lol. Michelle's one candidate out of over 10.

Alright. this may have changed polling though, yes?

Bloomberg's no progressive, if that's what you were thinking...

Neither are Biden and Bredesen

Well, Considering Dukakis calling Biden a strong progressive...yeaaah, he's a progressive

In 1988? You really searched hard for that!

Besides, the in-game Biden is not progressive at all...

Actually, I didn't search hard for that. Watch "Race to the White House: 1988 - Bush vs Dukakis" from CNN

But I do agree, Biden ain't a progressive ITTL

I disagree. I can easily bash Bredsen's head like a pinata in a debate, and I want to prove it.

Democrats without obama:

I think I have a fair chance of sweeping the great plains as well as Colorado and maybe Ohio, PA, and NJ and even Utah considering Democratic Mormons are just like Republican Mormons and Bredeboi is perfect for them

Biden would sweep the midwest other than IN since he is running as the populist democrat and then he would sweep the plains since those don't have many conservative Democrats in it

Many are caucuses, However, and if I'm winning NE and KS, I'm winning both Dakotas and Wyoming as well as maybe Montana. Also, I think Maryland goes to Biden more than Bredesen

Lol, Biden basically has home state advantage in PA. He'll win there.

Bredesen was born and raised in both NJ and MA so by that logic, he could win there

I also think Biden wins Maryland, Virginia and Indiana (though the last two would be really close).

Also, is my memory on the fritz, or didn't Obama win Missouri?

I won it by .01%

VA and IN has a big chance of going for me due to my Endorsements and if I am able to get High turn out in Southern VA, I'll win it while I just need to get the rural areas to get high turn out in IN

[Huey Long is a Republican]

BTW, can we start getting GE polls per Candidate? Such as Biden v DeMint or Bredesen v Giulani matchups?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

For VA and IN, the question is whether or not Michelle's momentum in Lake/NoVa transfers over to Biden or just dies. If it's the latter, Bredesen has a shot; if it's the former, not so much.

IN is far away from VA so by then, Biden's momentum is dead

Welp, was going to post my announcement a few hours ago, but Atlas logged me out and ate it and I don't feel like rewriting at the moment.

Riiiip

So, I have just created my Campaign Slogan. I recommend everyone else does the same so everyone gets a clear message of you.

It's: Jump the Change!

I suppose my campaign slogan is the same one as 2016. Hope to Higher Ground.

Why not the 2008 one?

Why is Biden sending Nancy Pelosi to Ohio, I think that will backfire. Even Democrats in Ohio hate her

Everybody counts

She's going to Cleveland, specifically, but I didn't say that in as many words.

Besides, I had several surrogates already going to Virginia, and I want wins in both states.

P.S You still have Klobuchar, right? I accidentally asked for her, and wx clearly wasn't paying attention, because he granted it... so some clarification would be nice...

Yes, I have Klobuchar

I think the hole in the Democratic primary is more of a progressive one, and a Centrist entering right now would just cut into Bredesen's base

Keep in mind I still need to do some research on more of his views to really say what kind of candidate he would be but perhaps he could be more of a populist candidate.

Considering the whole was Michelle, and she seemed rather populist, I think that'd be a good idea.  If you can alter him to be a populist progressive I think you could do well.

Alright. Well I guess I’ll run as the Dem dark horse candidate Jeff Bezos.

I'm begging ya, join as someone who'll cut into Biden's base. Plis
