Presidential Election game: June 1st, 2008

[War on Want]

Who wants to go against me? My whole idea is that all you have to do is post platforms and speeches, and org points. This costs money and you can get endorsements from Special Interest groups and you can fundraise.  You would also have a maximum of 7 speeches per week.

Org levels:
level 3: 200,000$ x state's EV's
level 2: 150,000$ x state's EV's
level 1: 100,000$ x state's EV's

There will be levels of strength and you can post where you think they can be. In this scenario you can create your own party. The scenario is where America is at war with Iran, and there is huge recession. Leftism was very popular at first but there is a huge backlash against it because of radicalism among students.(there is a draft)
Here is an example of how to start out:
Name:Alex Hernandez
Position: Congressman from California
Party: Progressive Party
Vice-Presidential Candidate: Bernie Sanders

Platform(include major issues at least):
bla bla bla

Support(list which states your party has "major" support in):

Joe tried something like this (though even more complex) and failed. Are you sure you're up to it? Then again, summer is coming soon...

I am up for this. I have already memorized the scenario and have been working on it for a while. It is based off of another government simulation anyways so it is proven to work.

[War on Want]

Oh yeah if you didn't read into this enough, you probably should all change your platforms to deal with pretty big social issues(there is a counter-cultural revolution calling for big change in America's structure to be almost hippie-socialist because of the war in Iran but issues like identifying with this movement turn off 50% of the country), we are occupying Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan and there is a large insurgency, with a draft but the catch is that terrorism is very major here and if we leave it is very possible large amounts of violence in all three countries would occur. Also there is a massive economic crisis with gas prices around the world spiking to 200$ a barrel, the morgage crisis still existing and a major economic meltdown in most of the rustbelt.

Map so far(I added a fairly weak Republican to this scenario, someone can play as them and switch some things):

I am sure you can guess the color scale and such but even though third parties are strong in this scenario, they still have a lot of ground to cover but among businesses and special interest groups they have a lot of support.

Why am I so good in the Dakotas?

I forgot to say but there are some pretty big farming issues in this scenario and a big drought is happening in that area. Combine this with traditional anti-establishment stuff in the Dakotas and you get your lead there.

I see.  How am I doing in the rest of the South?

Pretty good, in South Carolina you are tied with the Democrats for second place, North Carolina is a dead heat, Georgia is also close, in Florida you are also performing well. In the rest of the south you are doing okay but the Reform Party never really appealed to most of it.

Pity.  I take it I cannot get a state-by-state breakdown of where I stand?

No you can, I am just being lazy and I didn't expect you to want that.
