Super Tuesday Revisited: The Republican Race Still Too Close to Call
By Wallace Kueeler, Campaign ‘32

FROM THE DESK OF THE EDITOR-

With the next round of primaries for the Grand Old Party done, last night still did not produce a clear front-runner. As the states of Colorado, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Oklahoma, and West Virginia voted in record primary turnouts last night, all the hopefuls held their breath.

Colorado: 47 Delegates
D. Smith: 24.1%, 17 Delegates
J. Ford: 23.5%, 15 Delegates
C. Soult: 23.3%, 15 Delegates
S. Nichols: 11.7%
P. Brunsel: 9.6%
C. Wixted: 6.3%
J. Rights: 1.2%
Others (including Craddock): 0.3%

Ford’s Campaign was once again denied a victory in a primary, this time by a margin of 573 Votes. Smith was able to use his neighboring state advantage as well as his libertarian economic views to pander well to voters who may have been on the fence between Ford and himself. Soult’s narrow loss has reinvigorated his campaign, as he looks forward to the endorsements of the Populist Republican League and the Bull Moose Republicans, led by former Congressman Bill Moose of his own Pennsylvania. Brunsel’s campaign has declared that they are disappointed by his inability to win over enough agricultural and small town voters to overtake Senator Nicholas, who seems to be thinking of dropping out of the race. Jeff Rights and Josh Craddock fought for the endorsement of Focus on the Family, which went on to say that it did not endorse candidates. What an irony.

Indiana: 42 Delegates
P. Brunsel: 33.3%, 25 Delegates
S. Nichols: 28.3%, 15 Delegates
C. Soult: 16.2%, 2 Delegates
J. Ford: 7.9%
C. Wixted: 5.8%
J. Rights: 4.1%
D. Smith: 2.6%
J. Craddock: 1.6%
Others: 0.1%

“This state has produced more second rate men then any other in the history of our Republic,” Thomas Marshall, Vice-President, commented on Indiana. Brunsel did not run a second rate campaign in the Hoosier State, but he only defeated Senate Minority Leader Nichols by a few points. His hope was to win the state overwhelmingly, giving him considerable strength for the primaries in Michigan, Wisconsin, and other Great lake States. Unfortunately, this was not to be. Soult was also able to pick up a few delegates, a pair to be exact.

Maryland:  43 Delegates
J. Rights: 22.1%, 12 Delegates [/i]
C. Soult: 22.1%, 12 Delegates
D. Smith: 22.0%, 12 Delegates
J. Ford: 19.4%, 7 Delegates
C. Wixted: 6.2%
P. Brunsel: 3.3%
S. Nichols: 3.1%
J. Craddock: 1.8%

I’m as surprised as anyone: Neo-Confederate Senator Jeff Rights has won the Maryland Primary. He lived in Maryland for much of his early life, just like Senator Smith, and was able to secure enough of a turnout from rural Marylanders to offset Smith’s support from the larger cities (and let’s face it, ever since former Governor Martin O’Malley’s election in 2006, Baltimore hasn’t had a more than 6 Republicans). To the tunes of “Dixie” Rights celebrated his upset win over Governor Soult by a margin of 48 votes.

Ohio: 86 Delegates
C. Soult: 19.3%,20 
J. Ford: 19.2%, 20 Delegates
P. Brunsel: 19.1%, 20 Delegates
S. Nichols: 18.0%,, 16 Delegates
C. Wixted: 17.9%, 10 Delegates
J. Rights: 3.2%
D. Smith: 2.7%
J. Craddock (NC) and others: 0.6%

Soult has Ford red in the face with anger as he has failed to win another primary, and lose it by just such a little amount. The margin of 989 Votes separated Soult and Ford, and perhaps Brunsel played spoiler for Ford in several rural counties that he won over Ford by a few votes. Former Governor Mike Naso even made an appearance at a Brunsel Campaign Appearance where he passed gas while yelling, “Brunsel for President!” The landslided candidate of 2028 left the speakers platform with a red face.

Oklahoma: 36 Delegates
J. Ford: 42.2%, 28 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 36.3%, 8 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 6.2%
D. Smith (WY): 6.1%
J. Rights (FL): 4.3%
S. Nichols (WA): 2.6%
C. Wixted (PA): 1.5%
J. Craddock (NC) and others: 0.8%

As was expected, John Ford was able to pull of a victory in his first primary victory of the season. The big surprise of the night was Governor Brunsel’s strong second place victory. He had been polling behind Soult one week before the primary, but no one expected what would occur. A source known only as “Sore Throat” (no it was not me) leaked to the press what he considered “incriminating” evidence that than Lieutenant Governor  Soult was given a memo which gave forewarning of the 2019 dirty bomb strike in a Philadelphia Train Station. As we know, this bomb strike nearly resulted in the death of former Senator Robert Casey, Jr. (D-PA). This story has been disproved, but it hurt Soult enough to reduce his vote totals for the entire night. Primaries he narrowly lost could have been won had “Sore Throat” simply kept quiet.

West Virginia: 28 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 33.6%, 20 Delegates
J. Rights (FL): 22.2%, 4 Delegates
J. Craddock (NC): 20.7%, 4 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 12.4%
J. Ford (CA): 6.3%
C. Wixted (PA): 2.9%
S. Nichols (WA): 1.6%
D. Smith (WY): 0.3%

Libertarian minded Republicans need not apply in West Virginia, as the populist Governor Soult crushes his nearest opposition in the from of Senator Rights. Reverend Craddock, putting all his resources in West Virginia, was only able to take third. His lack of experience and his “foot-in-mouth syndrome” seem to have taken a toll on his second campaign for the presidency. Craddock is much like a Quale-figure, in my opinion, He is extremely intelligent, but seems dumb in some of the stiff he says. He declared at a rally in Charleston last week that all homosexuals were hell-bound. This may be true, I’m not a religious man myself, but is that really an issue in this race? Governor Brunsel aboard the “Spirit of West branch” was able to take over 10% of the vote, most likely costing Rights the win in this state.

This "Sore Throat" Charecter will make more visits throughout the campaign, so beware!

Super Tuesday Revisited: Nyman still holds considerable lead as rivals fall apart

Senate Majority Leader Nyman has a campaign that is to be envied by even President Leip. Last night he won a slam dunk over his nearest rivals, Vice-President Lundregen and Senator Bartlett.

Colorado: 47 Delegates
H. Bartlett (IA): 32.1% 26 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 23.6%, 18 Delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 15.8%, 3 Delegates
K. Nation (NY): 12.6%
L. Longley (WA): 12.2%
P. Kramer (AR): 3.7%

Senator Bartlett’s win in Colorado was the only bright spot he saw all night. He spent huge quantities of capital and talent in Colorado hoping for a huge win, which he got. He defeated Nyman by a comfortable margin, but he is now in financial peril. He is expected to mortgage off his home in his native Australia to pay for his now indebted campaign. It looks like Americans may not vote for their first gay president in November. On a brighter note, the long-shot candidacy of Senator Longley was able to break 10%, leaving Senator Kramer eating his proverbial dust.

Indiana: 42 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 42.2%, 42 Delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 21.3%
P. Kramer (AR): 16.3%
K. Nation (NY): 10.8%
H. Bartlett (IA): 7.6%
L. Longley (WA): 1.8%

Nyman simply blew away his opponents in Indiana. The home state of powerful Independent candidate Attorney General Peter Bell, this Great Lakes State seems signal that Nyman will win comfortable victories in Ohio, Wisconsin, and, of course, his home state of Michigan. Senator Kramer did make a splash, literally, in Indiana when a heckler decided to throw some “holy water” from a bucket on him as he spoke to a crowd of laborers in Terre Haute. The Senator caught a cold, but is recovering quickly.

Maryland:  43 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 48.3%, 35 Delegates
K. Nation (NY): 33.3%, 8 Delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 6.2%
H. Bartlett (IA): 5.7%
P. Kramer (AR): 3.3%
L. Longley (WA): 3.2%

Maryland gave a huge vote of confidence to Eric Nyman over their native son Senator Nation. This was entirely expected however, but the margin of victory of Nyman was not. The last Harvard Polls revelaed he had 36% to Nation’s 34%, but I guess this proves never to listen to what a bunch of drunken frat boys tell you. Kramer’s attempts to turn the state into a Southern one failed, so his “Southerners for a Southron” didn’t work in this border state. I guess it was Antieitem for the Christian Senator.

Ohio: 86 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 41.3%, 58 Delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 33.9%, 28 Delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 11.7%
H. Bartlett (IA): 6.2%
K. Nation (NY): 5.3%
L. Longley (WA): 1.6%

Call it the luck of the Southron, but Senator Kramer pulled of one of the biggest upsets I have ever seen. His campaign of raising the minimum wage to $7.00 and of expanding workman’s compensation played well with the blue collar workers of Ohio, and Kramer not only beat expected second place finisher Vice-President Lundregen in a route, but stopped Nyman from topping 50%. Kramer’s campaign, I must admit, is a simple one, but that’s its appeal. Simply declaring that he stands for, “The man who works at a factory, a mill, a mine, or a farm,” Kramer may have position himself for the Vice-Presidential nomination or if his steam keeps, up the Oval Office. “As long as there is a laborer who is oppressed by his manger,” Kramer made in a triumphant address from a Union Workhouse in Canton, “I will run for the Presidency.”

Oklahoma: 36 Delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 35.1%, 18 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 33.2%, 15 Delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 26.3%, 3 Delegates
H. Bartlett (IA): 4.2%
K. Nation (NY): 1%
L. Longley (WA): 0.2%

Vice-President Lundregen was all smiles as he saw this result come in, because he never expected it. His campaign has been steadily going down hill since his win in New Hampshire, so he had given up hope of upsetting Nyman. He did one last minute barnstorm through the state two days ago, and here he is winning a narrow victory over Nyman. Kramer had tried to use the Southern card again, but he seems to have overused it, and he was banished to only winning three delegates.

West Virginia: 28 Delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 46.2%, 16 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 44.1%, 12 Delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 6.3%
L. Longley (WA): 2.3%
H. Bartlett (IA): 0.8%
K. Nation (NY): 0.3%

Senator Kramer put a lot of money into West Virginia, won the endorsements of the United Coal Workers, Fraternal Brotherhood of Steel Workers, and the Farmer and Industrial Workman’s Union, and he was only able to edge out the powerful Nyman Campaign. Nyman didn’t even visit West Virginia until the night before the primary, and he still nearly won the primary.

On the third party scene California Lieutenant Governor and Forgotten Majority Candidate for President G. Leonard Hobbes won all but one primary last night, which was Oklahoma. He lost it to his running-mate Representative Dibble of Georgia.

Campaign ’32 Update

News in short from your humble correspondent, Wallace Phidipedes Kueeler, Publisher Emeritus

Iowa Governor’s Brother Now Thorn in Side of the Successful Campaign.

Governor Paul Brunsel (R-IA) is a man of high ideals and morals, but the same can not be said of his crazy brother Aaron “Hawkeye” Brunsel (John Birch Society-IA). “Hawkeye” Brunsel (a track and field star at his local college) is like Billy Carter, Roger Clinton, and the Reagan siblings wrapped into one. He would like nothing more than to see his younger brother get elected President of the United States, but his antics seem to be hurting Brunsel in the upcoming Super Tuesday Primaries (Brunsel leads in polls in Illinois and Michigan). Hawkeye (a nickname he got while serving in the air force from 2006-2010) decided yesterday to attend a campaign rally for Senator John Ford (R-CA) held in Cicero, Illinois. He held a sign stating, “Go back to Jew Land JEW Ford!” He also has called Veep hopeful Joe “Republic” Delaney, “Joe Repubic hair” several times. The funny thing, he is sober when he does these things. The next place he plans on visiting is Detroit, Michigan, where he will attempt to disrupt a gay pride parade. He has already made a sign stating, “Homofags can’t be Christians!” and “King Jesus will burn you all!” Governor Brunsel had no comment to give Campaign ’32.

Super Tuesday make or break for several campaigns: GOP[/u]
Wallace P. Kueeler, Publisher Emeritus Campaign ‘32

FROM THE DESK OF THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

The campaigns of several Republicans were severely wounded or ended yesterday, as few came out unscathed from the mad house that is now the Republican Primary.

Illinois: 127 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 22.8%, 51 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 21.3%, 50 Delegates
J. Ford (CA): 15.9%, 13 Delegates
C. Wixted (PA): 15.2%, 13 Delegates
S. Nichols (WA): 12.5%
J. Rights (FL): 8.6%
D. Smith (WY): 2.8%
J. Craddock (NC) and others: 0.9%

The wild actions of Governor Brunsel’s brother most likely did him in when it came to the Illinois Primary. Leading considerably in the polls a week before, Hawkeye Brunsel’s anti-Jewish attacks on Senator Ford hurt him in Jewish neighborhoods in the Chicago suburbs, which led to the high vote totals of Senator Wixted. Brunsel was visibly crushed when he made his “victory” address and many could only barely hear his baritone voice ring out when his campaign party sang the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” His brother was not at the campaign party.

Michigan: 114 Delegates
J. Ford (CA): 28.3%, 38 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 28%, 38 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 27.4%, 38 Delegates
D. Smith (WY): 6.6%
S. Nichols (WA): 4.8%
C. Wixted (PA): 4.6%
J. Craddock (NC) and J. Rights (FL)*: 0.3%

*Rights, after being snubbed from a debate in East Lansing, withdrew his name from the ballot.

With this primary the campaign of Senate Minority Leader Steven Nichols is now ended. His campaign was once seen as a favorite, but it fell through the floor when the more likable conservative in the form of Governor Brunsel arose. In an address, given from the Lansing Hilton, with great composure (as it was clear by the glazed look in his eye he was crying) Nichols dropped out of the race for President, endorsing Brunsel. “I have tried so hard to do what was right for my state and my nation” declared the former candidate.

Washington: 117 Delegates
S. Nichols (WA): 62.3%, 117 Delegates
D. Smith (WY): 17.3%
J. Ford (CA): 11.8%
C. Soult (PA): 2.6%
P. Brunsel (IA): 2.2%
C. Wixted (PA): 1.7%
J. Rights (FL): 1.1%
J. Craddock (NC) and others: 0.1%

Posthumously Senator Nichols easily won his home state. Smith took a weak second place showing. It is expected at the GOP Convention in Philadelphia in July 2032 Nichols will release all his delegates to Brunsel.

Wisconsin: 95 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 22.8%, 42 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 19.2%, 33 Delegates
J. Ford (CA): 18.1%, 17 Delegates
C. Wixted (PA): 14.9%
S. Nichols (WA): 13.5%
D. Smith (WY): 9.6%
J. Rights (FL): 1.6%
J. Craddock (NC) and others: 0.3%

Now the match we’ve all been waiting for. Even with the backing of popular conservative Senator Ryan Noble (R-WI), Brunsel could not win an easy victory in the state of Wisconsin. Governor Adam Sarnstrom (D-WI) was out on the warpath against the “three GOP stooges” as he called them: Soult, Ford, and Brunsel. The three front-runners were attacked by an add campaign the wealthy computer executive turned partisan democratic Governor released on them. The most bruising one to Brunsel showed his brother at his counter gay rights demonstration in Detroit. Ford’s most damaging ad was  one that showed his record of supporting the regime in Saudi Arabia and the mass murders that the royal family was behind before and during the Saudi Civil War. Soult continued to be ravaged by the false impression he was a manic depressant who had been given electroshock therapy. The three GOP frontrunners appeared on stage in Madison the day before the primary to decry the “Democratic smear merchants” in Wisconsin. Though the Governor had funded the ads, he had no idea that they would go so negative as to ply into the personal lives of the candidates. He made a formal apology and dissolved his advertising group.

Still there is no clear front-runner in what is now a bruising campaign.

Super Tuesday: Democrats solidify behind Nyman

Senator Eric Nyman has coolly brushed aside his opponents in the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Unlike the GOP Race, this one seems like all is over but the shouting.

Illinois: 127 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 55.9%, 127 Delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 12.8%
H. Bartlett (IA): 9.9%
P. Kramer (AR): 8.2%
K. Nation (NY): 7%
L. Longley (WA): 6.2%

Illinois fell in line under the Nyman Banner. It was expected however. The tired and bankrupted Bartlett Campaign and demoralized and confused Lundregen Wagon have been derailed. The biggest surprise of the primary was Senator Kramer’s finish over Senator Nation. Just like Senator Jeff Rights (R-FL), Kramer was able to appeal to Southern Illinois and those along the Kentucky border.

Michigan: 114 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 87.3%, 114 Delegates
H. Bartlett (IA): 4.3%
G. Lundregen (MN): 3.3%
P. Kramer (AR): 3.2%
K. Nation (NY): 1.7%
L. Longley (WA): 0.2%

Despite a last second swing through Michigan and an ad blitz that was admirable, Senator Bartlett couldn’t even break 5% in Michigan. Nyman easily won his home sate. The most popular Senator in the country easily took his home state, but received fewer votes than he did in his last election (where he received over 95% of the vote).

Washington: 117 Delegates
H. Bartlett (IA): 32.1%, 41 Delegates
L. Longley (WA): 32%, 41 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 30.2%, 35 Delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 3.6%
K, Nation (NY): 1.9%
P. Kramer (AR): 0.2%

In the only race he’ll ever come close to winning, Senator Lucas Longley lost Washington by 24 votes to the last second campaign of Hugh Bartlett. Bartlett spent the last of his limited funds to narrowly defeat Longley in his home state. Longley was not upset, seeing how his goal is to come as close to win a primary without actually winning it.

Wisconsin: 95 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 38.2%, 48 delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 36.3%, 47 delegates
H. Bartlett (IA): 13.6%
P. Kramer (AR): 6.3%
L. Longley (WA): 2.9%
K. Nation (NY): 2.7%

With this the long-shot candidacy of Senator Kevin Nation ended. He declared in his withdrawal speech from the Milwaukee Grand Hotel that he was bankrupted, bruises, and beaten. “This was not my year,” the Senator declared, “But I am not upset by it. The best candidate for our party is Senator Nyman, and he has my support.” His few delegates will most likely be given to Nyman at the Democratic Convention in Miami in August 2032. Governor Sarnstrom endorsed and campaigned actively for Nyman, and he was able to win a close victory over our beleaguered Veep.


The Libertarian Caucus in Michigan went comfortably for G. Leonard Hobbes. Why did I even cover this?


In conclusion:

The Democratic race is basically drawing to a close while the GOP beats itself to a bloody pulp. I believe that the next President will be a Michigan Democrat, but this is just my opinion.

Oh there’s chaos in the Land of Cotton: Surprising GOP Primary Results from the Dixie.
By Wallace P. Kueeler, publisher emeritus Campaign ‘32]

FROM THE DESK OF THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

A second Civil War brewed in the South as the Republican Party continues to tear itself apart in this bitter primary. Senator Rights (R-FL) was assuming he would do extremely well in the South, but he has been stopped in his tracks by the Governor of Pennsylvania and a Senator from California.

Alabama: 42 Delegates
J. Rights (FL): 24.8%, 18 Delegates
J. Ford (CA): 22.1%, 12 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 22%, 12 Delegates
J. Craddock (NC): 16.4%
C. Soult (PA): 10.8%
D. Smith (WY): 2.3%
C. Wixted (PA): 1.6%

This is a surprise to me, a complete surprise. Rights screwed this one up a big amount, and I have no idea why. He said everything they wanted to hear. He waved the Stars and Bars and spoke about right-winged populism, so this result throws me a curve. The reason I feel that Ford took second was due to his momentum from the last Super Tuesday. Ford was able to use his strength from two weeks ago in a state that does not really fit his political views that well. I can say that this is promising for Ford to say the least. Brunsel was able to use the issues of abortion and school prayer to his advantage, but he has begun to appear as a Religious Rightist much like the Reverend Joshua Craddock. Craddock had his thunder stolen by Brunsel; I would expect him to drop out by next week.

Arkansas: 41 Delegates
J. Rights (FL): 23.8%, 14 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 23.4%, 13 Delegates
J. Craddock (NC): 20.1%, 8 Delegates
J. Ford (CA): 18.3%, 6 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 12.8%
C. Wixted (PA): 1%
C. Wixted (PA): 0.6%

Soult has proven that superior funding can overtake a powerful blue-collar campaign. It surprises me that Rights won this one by .4% (or about 1,000 votes). Right’s campaign machine was at full force trying to get every factory worker, farm hand, and would be-rebel out to the polling place to cast their votes for “Senator Confed.” Soult was able to use his own populist rhetoric to make the race close. His support amongst minority and
women voters was the highest he has ever received in a primary.

Georgia: 91 Delegates
J. Rights (FL): 23.9%, 42 Delegates
J. Ford (CA): 23.3%, 41 delegates
C. Soult (PA): 19%, 5 Delegates
J. Craddock (NC): 18.2%, 3 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 13.6%
C. Wixted (PA): 1.4%
D. Smith (WY): 0.6%

The Senator went down to Georgia, he was looking for some voted to take. He was in a bind, cuz’ he was way behind, and in the delegates he did rake. I hate rhyming; I will never try at it again. Ford was able to capitalize on his support from Atlanta suburbs and nearly topple Rights in this state just north of his home territory. Brunsel made the mistake of playing “Marching through Georgia” while visiting the Carter Museum in Atlanta. You’d think a man who is a self-described “historian” would know better.



Kentucky: 51 Delegates
C. Soult (PA):28.9%, 21 Delegates
J. Rights (FL): 24.4%, 18 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 22.8%, 12 Delegates
J. Craddock (NC): 14.3%
J. Ford (CA): 8.7%
D. Smith (WY): 0.6%
C. Wixted (PA): 0.3%

Governor Soult took Kentucky by a surprisingly larger margin than even I expected. I will say that Soult was able to use his regional strength well. Kentucky has never really been called a “rust belt” or “Bible belt” state. The “Bible belt” group was out in force for Rights, who saw Craddock play spoiler for him as the Reverend took nearly 15% of the vote. Soult met one odd moment during the campaign where eccentric (and odd) author, editor, and conspiracy theorist Tim Brown attempted to throw a pie at him during the Brunsel vs. Ford vs. Soult Debates in Louisville, but he missed and hit Ford right in the face! Brunsel broke into laughter, thus making him more hated by elitists.

Louisiana: 97 Delegates
J. Rights (FL): 23.1%, 37 Delegates
J. Ford (CA): 21.1%, 32 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 20.3%, 15 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 18.7%, 13 Delegates
J. Craddock (NC): 16.3%
D. Smith (WY): 0.3%
C. Wixted (PA): 0.2%

The population boom of Louisiana since 2006 seems to have helped Ford. A growth of suburbs around the former site of New Orleans voted strongly for the Californian Senator, thus nearly giving him victory in this Deep Southern state. The influx of retirees helped Soult sell his ideas on how to save Social Security, but they are too boring for me to go into. Whatever they were, Soult won the elderly vote, who voted in record numbers. Brunsel traveled the state nearly constantly the last three days leading up to the primary, but was unable to take better than fourth place. At least he’s not like poor Reverend Craddock, who didn’t secure a delegate despite taking over 16% of the vote.

Mississippi: 44 Delegates
J. Rights (FL): 55.1%, 44 Delegates
J. Craddock (NC): 22.3%
P. Brunsel (IA): 12%
J. Ford (CA): 5.3%
C. Soult (PA): 4.7%
C. Wixted (PA): 0.3%
D. Smith (WY): 0.3%

This one can be summed up in no other candidate cared. Rights was expected to win big in Mississippi, and he did. This further cements his control on the Deep South. Sadly, when these primaries are over he will have lost his base. All his base will belong to others!

North Carolina: 76 Delegates
J. Craddock (NC): 27.1%, 26 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 26.8%, 25 Delegates
J. Rights (FL): 25.7%, 25 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 11.7%
J. Ford (CA): 7.3%
C. Wixted (PA): 0.8%
D. Smith (WY): 0.6%

North Carolina voted for its favorite son, this was expected. It was not expected that Soult would take second, and nearly win the entire thing. With the switch of 2,311 votes to Soult he wins Craddock’s home state, but he will just have to settle for a satisfying second place finish. Soult put a lot of effort into North Carolina to see if he could break past the Religious Right coalition of Rights and Craddock, and he did. Craddock was not too happy about this; he seems to be weighing an Independent run for president.

Tennessee: 93 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 24.3%,48 Delegates
J. Rights (FL): 22.7%, 45 Delegates
J. Ford (CA): 16.9%
P. Brunsel (IA): 16.7%
J. Craddock (NC): 12.3%
C. Wixted (PA): 5.3%
D. Smith (WY): 1.8%

Riding high with an endorsement from popular Governor Don Johnson (R-TN), Christ Soult was able to take another narrow victory over Rights. Johnson lambasted Senator Rights as, “The candidate of the old racist ways of the past. He is the candidate of segregation and ignorance. The South must move beyond the racism of the past and continue to embrace the social progress it has made since the 1960’s.” Rights was unable to shake the tag of “Wallace-ite” and “Johnnie Reb”, because he was darn proud of it! This actually helped him in the Southern part of the state and even more amongst his base, but the big cites came in for Soult and gave him a victory that has left Rights red (and purple) in the face.

Texas: 317 Delegates
J. Ford: (CA): 27%, 177 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 24.5%, 122 Delegates
J. Rights (FL): 15.2%, 12 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 13.3%, 6 Delegates
D. Smith (WY): 11.5%
C. Wixted (PA): 5.7%
J. Craddock (NC): 2.8%

Finally, a really big one has fallen, giving Ford a lot of delegates to work with. His strength amongst military families and businessmen gave him a powerful win in solidly-Republican Texas. Ford was able to use his knowledge of military affairs he so solidly was trained in while serving as Secretary of Defense and his pro-business platform to appeal to a wide range of Texans. Brunsel was able to use his solid platform of “pro-life, pro-family, and pro-American” very well at his rallies where he held barbecues, tossed horseshoes, and played “Oh beautiful, beautiful Texas.” Rights and Soult were both flabbergasted at their poor showings, but when you put together the facts that they were simply outshone by the two front-runners, they should be able to add it up.

The GOP Primary is hotter than the flames that burned the South down in 1865; I expect no less than 25 ballots at the Convention.

Wow... I just got tied into a sack and thrown into the Mississippi... there is no other way to describe it.

Apparently, I lack appeal in all but three Southern States.  My campaign is quite stuned by this.  I mean, I love grits.  I eat them four times a week in the summer.  And, I eat them with Vermont Maple Syrup... so, as you can see, I am the only candidate who can bridge the divide.

You'll do fine with the next bunch of primaries. You se, the center is split, and Ford had more revenue than you did. The Northeast and Pacific West will be much kinder to you (and a lot meaner to me!).

Kramer and Nyman battle it out in Dixie.
By Wallace P. Kueeler, Publisher Emeritus Campaign ‘32

Senator Cosmo Kramer (D-AR) was given a treatment of Southern hospitality mixed with Sherman hospitality as well. Nyman used his front-runner status well as he battled it out in Kramer’s home terrain.

Alabama: 42 Delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 47.7%, 30 delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 33.2%, 12 Delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 11.4%
L. Longley (WA): 7.3%

H. Bartlett (IA): 0.4%

Kramer was able to easily win a state he was highly favored to win. No news there. That Nyman was able to crack his base of blue-collar workers should send chills up the spine of Kramer. Poor Bartlett was confined to polling less than 1%, due mainly to what I would call “the not campaigning” factor. He has intelligently decided to forgo the South and is now aiming at the West.

Arkansas: 41 Delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 89.3%, 41 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 7.9%
G. Lundregen (MN): 2.7%
L. Longley (WA): 0.1%
H. Bartlett (IA): 0%

No one bothered to come to Arkansas because they all knew Kramer would easily win it. Here he nearly takes 90%, moving on…

Georgia: 91 Delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 46.9%,46 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 46.5%, 45 Delegates
L. Longley (WA): 3.6%
G. Lundregen (MN): 2.7%
H. Bartlett (IA): 0.3%

Nyman was able to nearly break into the Deep South losing Georgia by just 534 votes. Nyman skillfully was able to put together a large caucus of “white-collar” laborers in Atlanta and Savannah. This was enough to offset Kramer huge support from minimum wage workers and just those who prefer a Southerner on the top of the ticket. Kramer played his southerner card to the fullest, even adopting “Dixie” as his new campaign song. He even was endorsed by popular two-term Senator Dave Hawk (D-GA), thus helping him even more in the state. The Southern Card was enough to give him a narrow win over Nyman who outspent Kramer 4 to 1.

Kentucky: 51 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 51%, 30 delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 41.9%, 21 delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 4.8%
L. Longley (WA): 1.7%
H. Bartlett (IA): 0.6%

Just like Soult, Nyman was able to use his regional sway to make Kentucky a “rust belt” state. Bible-thumping preachers were outvoted by the industrial workers of the Ohio River Valley. Kramer lost “the second Battle of Perryville” to Nyman. This debate at Perryville put Kramer on the spot. He was forced to fess up to a letter that was leaked by “Sore Throat” which was supposedly written by the Senator. In it the Senator used derogatory terms for blacks, gays, and other minority groups. “The Hate Letter” was the central issue of the debate, and Kramer seemed to relay the message that he didn’t care about the letter. Nyman cleverly spun this to mean that Kramer didn’t really care about minorities. Nyman was able to bolster his already huge support amongst minority voters by pointing out how he had had authored several Hate Crimes and Speech acts while serving in the Senate. On primary day a record number of black voters handed Nyman a convincing victory. Wait…I have just received word that “The Hate Letter” is a fake, and that “Sore Throat” has once again cost a candidate victory in a primary.

Louisiana: 97 Delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 46.2%, 53 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 43.7%, 44 Delegates
L. Longley (WA): 9.1%
G. Lundregen (MN): 0.7%
H. Bartlett (IA): 0.3%

Kramer took another victory in the Deep South, but this was a surprise. Nyman was polling even with him until about two-hours before the polls began. Vorlon Polling Company showed a swing of undecided voters in favor of Kramer. When the polls closed, Kramer had been able to offset the faked “Hate Letter” and a powerful Nyman Campaign in the suburbs. In surprising news, Longley actually polled well. His strength in the suburbs was not that great, but enough to place him in third place.

Mississippi: 44 Delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 52.2%, 31 delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 43.9%, 13 delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 3.7%
L. Longley (WA): 0.2%
H. Bartlett (IA): 0%

Kramer’s strong poll numbers in the Deep South gave him victory in Mississippi.  End of story

North Carolina: 76 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 44.3%, 41 delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 39.8%, 34 delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 12.7%, 1 delegate
H. Bartlett (IA): 2%
L. Longley (WA): 1.2%

The politics of the steel mill gave Nyman a strong victory. He was endorsed by the Steel Workers’ Union in Charlotte, giving him an edge in a state where Union activity was surprisingly high this year. Kramer was able to use his Southern drawl to his advantage, but he lacked endorsements from papers, mayors, and county officials. In the end Kramer couldn’t fight City Hall, and was sent packing back to Little Rock. Lundregen did well, but I have no idea why.

Tennessee: 93 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 45.1%, 47 delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 45.1%, 46 delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 8.6%
L. Longley (WA): 1%
H. Bartlett (IA): 0.2%

Nyman won this one by 49 votes, putting a thorn in the side of Kramer’s campaign. Nyman was able to just use tons of more revenue and media attention to offset the Kramer campaign. His support in the northern area of the state was enough to stop Kramer’s strength in the West. The crucial endorsement of Representative and titular head of the Tennessee Democratic Party Tim Cash to Nyman gave him ponderous amounts of votes in the big cites. Minority voters came out in force on primary day, thus giving the man from Michigan a narrow victory over “The Arkansas Traveler.”

Texas: 317 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 32.3%, 201 delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 23.7%, 58 delegates
L. Longley (WA): 21.1%, 54 delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 15.6%, 4 delegates
H. Bartlett (IA): 7.3%

Nyman and Longley were the two surprises here. Kramer’s huge support amongst the working man was offset once again by a combination of skilled craftsmen (for Nyman) and computer technicians (for Longley). Longley performed extremely well in Dallas, placing second behind Nyman. Kramer did well in the small rural counties. Nyman took the rest. This win seems to make him the Democratic nominee over night, He now just needs to win for his expected huge wins in the assorted primaries in two weeks, and he will only have to focus on picking a running-mate.

The Libertarian Primaries in Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee were all for G. Leonard Hobbes except Georgia, which went for Dibble, his running-mate. Hobbes has already rose over $100 million dollars for his campaign.

Campaign Update: Southern Candidates call it quits.[/u]
by Wallace Kueeler, publisher emeritus

FROM THE DESK OF THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Charlotte, NC and Plant City, FL - Today both the Reverend Joshua Craddock (R-NC) and Senator Jeff Rights (R-FL) dropped out the of the race for President of the United States.

Over his widely viewed Saturday evening television show “The Old Southern Gospel Hour” Craddock told his loyal followers he would no longer be a candidate for president. “The nation has decided against our crusade,” he confessed to the audience, “But the fight shall continue. I endorse Governor Brunsel of Iowa because he is the only candidate who stands up for the Main street values that we have fought for on ‘The Old Southern Gospel Hour” since our founding over ten years ago.” I expect the endorsement of Craddock to do little for Brunsel out west, with the exception of Utah, where Brunsel was expected to win anyway.

The peaceful drop out of Craddock was greatly dwarfed by the angry and belligerent address by an embittered Senator Jeff Rights. Claming that the “giant corporate owning interests” had caused him defeat in the primary as well as, “anti-God and anti-American sissies in this Grand Old Party”, Rights hammered away at the front-runners. He called Soulty and Ford, “Two heads on the same Red Coin.” He declared that he knew the GOP would lose under Brunsel’s, “Herbert Hoover efficiency.”  “My party is on a downward spiral into oblivion,” Rights declared in front of Plant City Town Hall, “That is why I herby declare that I am the candidate of the American Independent Party for the office of President of these United States.”

Reaction to his announcement has been divided. John Ford condemned Rights’s, “Opportunistic and wholly unnecessary run for office.” Chris Soulty also added that his comments about himself and the other two front-runners were, “Entirely uncalled for.” Paul Brunsel did not comment on the announcement, but Governor Chris Verin (D-MN) claimed that Rights’s decision was, “So not the w00t.”

No polling has been taken so the effect Right’s decision has not yet been determined. I feel that the GOP will nominate John Ford for President in an attempt to use foreign policy (something that Soulty and Brunsel have had little experience in) as the main issue of the 2032 Campaign to offset Right’s hold on social conservatives.

Update tonight.

GOP Race Still in the Air as Battle Rages in the Rocky Mountains
By Wallace Kueeler, Publisher Emeritus Campaign ‘32

FROM THE DESK OF THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Ford, Soult, and Brunsel are still at each other’s throats in this decisive (but surprisingly inspiring and un-bitter) Republican Primary.

Alaska: 14 Delegates
J. Ford (CA): 33.6%, 6 Delegates
C. Wixted (PA): 21.7%, 4 Delegates
D. Smith (WY): 20%, 4 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 18.7%
P. Brunsel (IA): 5.8%
Others: 0.2%

Alaska proved to be the wildcard of this set of primaries. Ford ran ahead in all its polling, and was widely expected to win, but the second and third place spots were the great surprises. The oil man’s interests were most represented in this Arctic libertarian-leaning state. The two former businessmen in this race (Wixted and Smith) had huge appeal amongst the oil industry. Smith released a scathing attack ad on Soulty declaring him, “The Taxing Man’s Candidate” citing the steep rise in the business tax of Pennsylvania while he was governor. The attacks worked enough to reduce Soulty to less than 20%. Brunsel only had appeal amongst the Northern Quaker regions of Alaska, where most were too busy hunting fish with spears and building igloos to vote.

California: 614 Delegates
J. Ford (CA): 40%, 328 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 26.9%, 177 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 15.2%, 87 Delegates
C. Wixted (PA): 9.1%, 22 Delegates
D. Smith (WY): 8.7%
Others: .1%

The big one has fallen, and the popular Senator Ford has claimed a big win in his delegate rich home state. He now has 783 Delegates, a large sum. This was not a gift to him on a silver platter, however. Ford spent a considerable amount of his funds on this primary to ensure a big victory. He spent $2 million on running TV advertisements alone the final week of the primary campaign. Soult appealed to blue-collar workers in the big cities, pleading with them to, “Vote for their national interests.” Brunsel enjoyed support from central California, and was endorsed by Operation Reach Out, a Young Conservative Christian action group. Ford will pay for his large spending spree in the future, be assured.

  Hawaii: 36 Delegates

C. Soult (PA): 39.2%, 20 Delegates
J. Ford (CA): 26.9%, 16 Delegates
C. Wixted (PA): 12%
P. Brunsel (IA): 6.8%
D. Smith (WY): 4.8%
Others: 0.3%

The “Land of the Soft Pacific Breezes” was ravaged by a political tsunami for the last few weeks, as Ford and Soulty cut each other down like Palm Trees in a hurricane. Ford told Hawaiians that their protection from the rogue state of North Korea and the increasingly hostile Corporatist Nation of Japan would best be served by Ford’s knowledge of foreign affairs. Brunsel (a man who went to nationals in debate in Foreign Extemporaneous Speaking while in High School) declared that Ford “Is playing his darn fear card again.” Soult once again was the favorite amongst the Middle Class, a large voting block in Hawaii. 

Kansas: 41 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 41.1%, 29 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 31.3%, 12 Delegates
D. Smith (WY): 18.3%
J. Ford (CA): 6.7%
C. Wixted (PA): 2.3%
Others: 0.3%

Brunsel was able to use the Conservative bias of this state to offset Soult’s endorsement from popular independent populist Governor Jesse Mann. Brunsel crisscrossed the state talking about “Midwestern Values” and church and apple pie, that kind of thing. It worked out in the end, but he didn’t claim much of a win.

Minnesota: 137 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 25.1%, 45 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 24.6%, 44 Delegates
J. Ford (CA): 24.1%, 42 Delegates
C. Wixted (PA): 19.3%, 6 Delegates
D. Smith (WY): 6.8%
Others: 0.l%

Senator Colin Wixted ended his campaign for President after the results from Minnesota. He spent a good deal of money on this primary (cleaned out his war chest) and was hoping for a narrow victory like in North Dakota. This was not to be, however. Soult played the populist root well enough to win a narrow victory over Brusnel and Ford.

Nebraska: 37 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 55.0%, 37 Delegates
J. Ford (CA): 18.6%
C. Soult (PA): 17.3%
D. Wixted (WY): 10.1%
C. Wixted (PA): 9.0%

Brunsel won an easy victory because he’s a conservative Midwesterner, end of story. Ford did well amongst military families in Omaha however.

Nevada: 210 Delegates
J. Ford (CA):26%, 61 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 21.3%, 54 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 22.1%, 53 Delegates
D. Smith (WY): 15.5%, 21 Delegates
C. Wixted (PA): 15.1%, 21 Delegates

Everyone won delegates this time! The Nevada Primary was a four way race the entire time. Brunsel had the support of the Mormon Counties along the Utah Border, but very few other places in “The Sin State” as his brother “Hawkeye” Brunsel called it. Ford was able to do well amongst Las Vegas voters, as was Smith.

Oregon: 107 Delegates
J. Ford (CA):33%, 43 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 28%, 38 Delegates
D. Smith (WY): 21.3%, 26 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 12.1%
C. Wixted (PA): 5.6%

Ford is establishing himself as the front-runner with a narrow win in Oregon. He spent relatively little in Oregon (at least compared to Soult and Smith). Soult is nearly ruined however with a visit from the infamous “Sore Throat”. He produced that Soult was given electroshock therapy for depression as a young man, and though this is no longer considered odd, Soult handled it poorly. He first went on the attack, declaring that his depression “Is as much am issue in this campaign as what type of coffee Senator Ford drinks.” However the media does not much like Soult, so the major networks began to focus heavily on it. Professor of Sociology Walt Mankind of the University of Oregon in Portland (a Socialist for Bell) ran an article in the Portland Times entitled ”Is Governor Soult Mentally able to be President?” This article claimed that,” Of the thirty psychologists II interviewed, 26 declared that he is not fit in the mind to be President.” “Lincoln also suffered from depression,” Governor Paul Brunsel declared while campaigning in Eugene, “And he didn’t do too badly.” However, Soult did himself in by breaking into tears while making a press report in front of the Oregon State Capitol building.

South Dakota: 37 Delegates
P. Brunsel (IA): 53.6%, 37 Delegates
C. Soult (PA): 21.2%
J. Ford (CA): 16.2%
D. Smith (WY): 6.8%
C. Wixted (PA): 2.2%

Brunsel campaigned hard in South Dakota, stopping by Mount Rushmore no more than 30 times. Needless to say this popular Governor easily beat Soult, who made a few stops. The Governor’s brother Aaron “Hawkeye” Brunsel got into a little argument with some “ingine braves” at the Badlands National Monument, which led to an Indian chief losing three teeth.

While Soult fights off charges of depression and Brunsel deals with his brother, Ford seems to have a clear road to the GOP Nomination. If he can do well in the East in two weeks he can have a first ballot victory.

Nyman to Win the Democratic Nomination in Near Sweep
By Wallace Kueeler, Publisher Emeritus Campaign ‘32

FROM THE DESK OF THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Senate Majority Leader Eric Nyman (D-MI) has the Democratic Nomination wrapped up after easily disposing of Kramer, Bartlett, Lundregen, and that little joke Longley.

Alaska: 14 Delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 41.1%, 14 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 23.9%
H. Bartlett (IA): 16.3%
L. Longley (WA): 10.1%
P. Kramer (AR): 8.6%

Lundregen, being a North Man himself, was very popular in Alaska. No candidate visited and Nyman decided to allow him to win another Primary besides his home state.

California: 614 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI):45.2%, 572 Delegates
H. Bartlett (IA): 17.2%, 21 Delegates
L. Longley (WA): 16.7%, 21 Delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 12.1%
G. Lundregen (MN): 8.8%

Nyman won a huge victory in California due to several factors, these being more money, more media coverage, and simply having greater appeal to the Democratic base in California. Kramer had a strong campaign, trying to sway votes from the heavily religious working poor (especially amongst Hispanics). For a while it looked as if he could take second place, but then a disaster in the from of “The Choice PAC” rallied the liberal majority of California against him. The ads declared:

”Senator Kramer said this while running for reelection to the Senate, “If ever I had the chance to use the power of an office to outlaw the scourge of abortion from this fair land, it would be as President” Can the pro-choice majority in America afford a Kramer Presidency?”

The abortion issue, tied with race baiting by pro-illegal immigration advocates, sunk the Kramer Campaign.

Hawaii: 36 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 51.2%, 36 Delegates
L. Longley (WA): 21.1%
L. Trondheim (HI): 16.8%
H. Bartlett (IA): 8.6%
P. Kramer (AR): 2.3%

Lieutenant Governor Lewis Trondheim of Hawaii took third, in the only exciting thing in this primary where Nyman was expected to win easily, and did.

Kansas: 41 Delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 34.3%,21 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 31.4%, 20 Delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 18.9%
L. Longley (WA): 12.1%
H. Bartlett (IA): 3.3%

Yeah Mr. Bartlett, being gay doesn’t really help you in Kansas, now does it? Kramer running against evolution, abortion, and “the immorality of the Hollywood elite,” won a narrow victory over Nyman, who got huge support from Lawrence and Topeka. Longley celebrated his achievement of 12% of the vote by wearing a Bob Dole mask and running through his hotel yelling, “Bob Dole says ‘Bob Dole’.” Members of the Bob Dole Imaginary Presidential Library Society were very much not pleased.

Minnesota: 137 Delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 30.1%, 65 Delegates
E. Nyman (MN): 30%, 65 Delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 16.5%, 7 Delegates
H. Bartlett (IA): 11.7%
L. Longley (WA): 11.7%

After almost two years of hard fought campaigning, Vice-President Gustaf Lundregen dropped out of the campaign for President. “After driving myself nearly $2 million in debt I can run no longer,” a bitter Lundregen declared last night from the Minneapolis Hilton, “The Democratic establishment wants nothing to do with me, and I say so be it. This party believes it must tie itself to the left wing, go ahead, of course the last two Democratic Presidents were moderates like myself, but go ahead and choose Nyman, and I’ll choose Peter.” Vice-President Lundregen is scheduled to appear tomorrow at a Bell-Delaney Campaign rally in Cincinnati to officially endorse the ticket.

Nebraska: 37 Delegates
P. Kramer (AR): 37.7%, 21 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 31.8%, 16 Delegates
G. Lundregen (MN): 22.6%
L. Longley (WA): 6.3%
H. Bartlett (IA): 1.6%

The home state of William Jennings Bryan went comfortably for the democrat’s new Bryan. However, like Bryan, it doesn’t look like Kramer will be in the White House any time soon.

Nevada: 210 Delegates
E. Nyman (MI): 55.5%, 154 Delegates
H. Bartlett (IA): 39.7%, 56 Delegates
L. Longley (NV): 3.6%
G. Lundregen (MN): 0.9%
P. Kramer (AR): 0.3%

Though this one would have been an easy victory for Bartlett after his victory in Iowa and his close loss in New Hampshire, his negative momentum destroyed any chance of him winning Nevada. Kramer and Lundregen (both seen checking phone booths for loose change) didn’t even visit Nevada. Longley was able to do well amongst drunken old women in Los Angeles, but this is not a constituency I would want to win.

I'll finish the rest of this dumb primary tonight. It's taking too damn long.

Nym's goign to win the nomination, why the heck must I finish the primary?

[PBrunsel]

Can we have delegate totals for the Republicans and Democrats PBrunsel? I want to see how both races look and how many I got.

Can someone else, I still need to finish the Democratic Super Tuesday III?

[PBrunsel]

I intend to continue this until Election Day 2032.

Thanks to Akno for continuing this, but I promised to take over so I shall finish it.
