2004 Election Game (sign up thread)

[Orwell]

Give it until the end of turn 1 for the R's to come out

[Orwell]

If we go by a 6 point shift from the 2000 map which I think is what you're implying we end up with a map like this

[Orwell]

Jeanne Shaheen / Al Gore - 53.4% (Or the other way, if you prefer Peanut   )
Dick Cheney / Steve Garvey - 46.6%

Please, Hillary's more likely to be the Democratic nominee at this point than Shaheen is.

Kerry is as well, also I don't see Gore accepting VEEP again.

[Orwell]

To be honest, I've lost interest in being part of this game, so I'm gonna drop out.

it'll be sad to see you go. I wish you wouldn't.

Question, if the Mod and most players agree to it, can changes be made to the timeline for a candidate?

I'm not the mod, but what is it? If it's something reasonable I wouldn't see why not, but if it's something game changing like Shaheen not running for Senate in 2002 then I'd have to say no.

I'm assuming we won't' let Shaheen run for reelection in 2002 so I can push through a major health care bill that might spice up the game a little, - if not, maybe I'll just transform it into Vermont Care for my 2020 game. Lol.

I doubt she'd be able to get it through because a Republican controlled State legislature

Without releasing too many specifics; it's actually a multiplayer, public-private plan that I think moderate Republicans could back, hence why I might use it in my 2020 game, conversely. Just think it'd make more sense here.

This is the early 2000's I'm not sure if America is really ready for such liberal legislation.

That said Im not against her being reelected Governor and trying to get it to pass. It'd cost her a lot of political clout and maybe burn some bridges, but it'd establish her as a Liberal face.

I'm open to her trying to do this while she's still Governor, but I don't think she should run for reelection, and I can't see her winning the Senate seat in 2002. But she might able to beat Judd Gregg in the Senate race, if she gets out of the Presidential Race early enough, and jumps in the Senate race, plus has a Democrat who can carry New Hampshire atop the ballot (so maybe Gore, Kerry or Clinton), she should beat Gregg.

Kerry has the best chance to win NH...

If all goes well the Dems could have a nominee as early as March, or as late as at the DNC.

Blue is Gore, Red is Clinton, Yellow is Lincoln, Green is Kerry, and Gray is Shaheen.

Before you jump down my throat about Edwards not winning North Carolina, I think that state essentially ends up in a delegate tie between Edwards, Lincoln and Gore/Clinton, but Lincoln walks away with the popular vote lead, hence why the map is yellow there.

with my investment into the African American vote, I think I might sneak away with a few industrial midwest states because of the battle between the others for white union voters.

[Orwell]

The question was whether we could have Shaheen run for reelection in 2002 so I can pass a Health Care bill in the current timeline you numbskulls, I'm not dropping out, lmbo. : P

And I intend to make one final campaign dash before the end of this turn.

CTConservative won't be back until the 1st so Im not sure.

I can't find any delegate info on DC for 2004 I know in 2016 it was 20 delegates and then 29 superdelegates.

No delegates given to the primary but I believe 19 were given to the caucus later in the year

That seems like the most efficient way of doing things. lol.

[Orwell]

TURN II is up! (on the turn 1 thread, im just keeping it on there for now)

I'd just use one thread for the whole game.

[Orwell]

Are y'all still interested in this?

I am for now...but I wouldn't shed a tear if the game dies either, as I'm wary of overextending myself in multiple games.
