Post-Obama - A Different 2012 (Rules, Sign-up, and OOC thread)

[terp40hitch]

Obama, Bayh, Giuliani and DeMint all need schedules

[terp40hitch]

when is the rest of the results coming up?

[terp40hitch]

I predict a win in Michigan for Biden since the blue collar vote so I hope Biden stays in at least for a few more rounds

[terp40hitch]

Popular vote totals:

Mike Huckabee (31.62%): 849,238
Rudy Giuliani (24.45%): 656,539
Jim DeMint (23.32%): 626,381
Michele Bachmann (20.47%): 549,871
Jeb Bush (0.86%): 23,036
Adam Carolla (0.28%): 7,521

[terp40hitch]

My Prediction For Republican and Democratic Races till Super Tuesday:

Republican:
Huckabee:Missouri, Arizona, Oklahoma, Idaho
Giuliani:Washington, Massachuetts, Virginia, Vermont
DeMint:Colorado, Alaska, Georgia, Tennesee,
Bachmann: Minnesota, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, Wyoming

Democrats
Obama:Minnesota, Missouri, Maine, Arizona, Georgia
Biden:Michigan, Colorado, Ohio, Oklahoma, Vermont, Massachuetts
Bredensen: Tennesee, American Saoma

My Prediction For Republican and Democratic Races till Super Tuesday:

Republican:
Huckabee:Missouri, Arizona, Oklahoma, Idaho
Giuliani:Washington, Massachuetts, Virginia, Vermont
DeMint:Colorado, Alaska, Georgia, Tennesee,
Bachmann: Minnesota, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, Wyoming

Democrats
Obama:Minnesota, Missouri, Maine, Arizona, Georgia
Biden:Michigan, Colorado, Ohio, Oklahoma, Vermont, Massachuetts
Bredensen: Tennesee, American Saoma

I would wait until the turn is up with state polling.

I am just basing this off of their voting trends in the past so this is probably a pretty rough prediction

[terp40hitch]

My Prediction For Republican and Democratic Races till Super Tuesday:

Republican:
Huckabee:Missouri, Arizona, Oklahoma, Idaho
Giuliani:Washington, Massachuetts, Virginia, Vermont
DeMint:Colorado, Alaska, Georgia, Tennesee,
Bachmann: Minnesota, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, Wyoming

Democrats
Obama:Minnesota, Missouri, Maine, Arizona, Georgia
Biden:Michigan, Colorado, Ohio, Oklahoma, Vermont, Massachuetts
Bredensen: Tennesee, American Saoma

I think Biden wins Minnesota, and I think Obama wins Michigan by a narrow margin.

Also, you forgot Democrats Abroad, which Obama, should win easily.

It could be close in Minnesota. I think Michigan is going Biden since the working class but I also think it will be close because of African-American vote but I think the African-American won't come out like they did for Obama in 2008

My Prediction For Republican and Democratic Races till Super Tuesday:

Republican:
Huckabee:Missouri, Arizona, Oklahoma, Idaho
Giuliani:Washington, Massachuetts, Virginia, Vermont
DeMint:Colorado, Alaska, Georgia, Tennesee,
Bachmann: Minnesota, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, Wyoming

Democrats
Obama:Minnesota, Missouri, Maine, Arizona, Georgia
Biden:Michigan, Colorado, Ohio, Oklahoma, Vermont, Massachuetts
Bredensen: Tennesee, American Saoma

I don't see Bachmann winning a plurality of states when she hasn't won a single early state.

since Bachmann is doing well in the midwest and in tea party states I think she will do well during Super Tuesday

[terp40hitch]

I'm a little confused as to what's taking so long... I thought the new turn would be up by now.

Thanks for keeping us updated

[terp40hitch]

Will the new turn have Super Tuesday polling

[terp40hitch]

Main turn is up; state polling, endorsements from the last turn, and the randomly generated news will be up in a post later tonight.

Can we do player- made debates?

He said no debates this turn, so I assume that means all debates.

I guess we'll ask again next turn.

Yep I have debates and random news on a schedule, they alternate so that one turn has debates and the other has the news.

Did anyone get news this turn?

[terp40hitch]

It does appear as if Michelle Bachmann got Rick Snyder's endorsement, while WX literally confirmed him for me last week.

I just confirmed for him but if wx says he made a mistake I will change it

[terp40hitch]

Wx, adding on to Eighties, you also got mine wrong. Last week I received endorsements from Rick Snyder and Tom Tancredo. Just to let you know.

Also, It does appear as if Michelle Bachmann got Rick Snyder's endorsement, while WX literally confirmed him for me last week.

I'm confused. Which endorsement are you talking about?

A week ago I requested Rick Snyder (R-MI) for my second endorsement, alongside Tom Tancredo, and you replied confirming my request. But Michelle Bachmann (Terp) claims that she has Rick Snyder's endorsement on her campaign schedule. Who has Rick Snyder?

If you requested it early, you have Rick. When I was looking through my PMs earlier, I didn't see any PM from you, so I must have missed it/accidentally deleted it.

Thank you for clearing this up, I will pm you my new request

[terp40hitch]

Just edited my schedule to include a speech at CPAC, completely forgot about it.

Second ad, my CPAC speech, and a statement coming tonight.

I will edit my schedule too so it has CPAC in it too

[terp40hitch]

Schedules Needed

Michelle Obama
Joe Biden
Phil Brendsen
Evan Bayh
Howard Dean

Mike Huckabee
Rudy Giuliani
Jim DeMint
Michele Bachmann

Michael Bloomberg
Adam Carolla

[terp40hitch]

I definitely think dean should since his user only had posted once so far

[terp40hitch]

May I ask why the economy randomly crashes, in 2009?  The market crashed before Obama's election, and the markets don't just randomly crash.

It was the same reason for the crash during the Bush presidency but as I take it I think it just took longer to crash.

[terp40hitch]

Schedules Needed

Michelle Obama
Joe Biden
Phil Brendsen
Evan Bayh
Howard Dean

Mike Huckabee
Rudy Giuliani
Jim DeMint
Michele Bachmann

Michael Bloomberg
Adam Carolla

I think we can officially detract both Bayh and Dean by now, considering they haven't played in a while.

Agreed.

Also, I need an extension to Sunday Morning, because dividing one month into three parts is rough work.

Could the next turn not be a month long please?

Maybe we could find a new player for Bayh

That doesn't really make sense, but okay.

I am not the moderator but I think that is what happens but I am unsure

I understand.  I am just saying, it just wasn't really possible for the markets to crash in March of 2009, unless Obama really did something stupid, like attempt to go communist or something.  The markets had fallen about as much as they could have.

I just moved all of world history up a year.

Then Obama would not have been elected.  We would have had John McCain as our president.  It was the financial crash that led to Obama's victory.

Party fatigue and Bush's low approval rating still would have defeated McCain.

And the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan

I'm pretty sure McCain was leading in the polls.  He was actually a pretty strong candidate, all things considered-fairly moderate, war hero, etc.

without Palin, he wouldn't be able to close the gender gap either

[terp40hitch]

Got it up.

Started before 12, so I assume it counts.

Turn ends Sunday at 6 for NewYorkExpress so it does count

[terp40hitch]

For Bloomberg’s schedule: it is Bob not John McDonnell

[terp40hitch]

So I have prediction maps for both parties if Biden and Bredesen win the states they have a really good chance at winning for the Dems and a map for the GOP if Bachmann, DeMint, and Giulani win their respective states this turn

DEMS:

Red is Obama

Blue is Biden

Green is Bredesen (I may be a bit biased)

GOP:

Red is Huckabee

Blue is Giulani

Green is DeMint

Yellow is Bachmann

thoughts?

Bachmann and DeMint definitely undervalued

especially for Bachmann in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinios

especially for DeMint in Georgia, Florida, and Tennesee

[terp40hitch]

I'm considering moving tomorrow's deadline up or even close it at midnight tonight (as it seems most are done with schedules), so I'll have more time to write results before my busy tomorrow (which if we stay on course it may mean I can not write results until Monday). Thoughts?

I was just thinking we should do this
