1820 United States Presidential Election

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Here we go. Over the last four years, President Clinton has moved the party from its original liberal roots. Instead, he has favored internal improvements and greater subsidies towards industry, though he has still kept in line with a low tariff and "dovish" foreign policy. Resoundingly nominated by his own party without opposition with Congressman Thomas Metcalf of Kentucky as his running mate, the Federalists have now largely folded under the wider umbrella of the Fusion party by nominating Clinton as well. For Vice President, former President and George Clinton's one-time running mate John Quincy Adams--currently Secretary of State--has been nomination, much to the chagrin of traditional Federalists who had wanted to remain independent of Clinton. The Republicans for their part after much infighting have nominated William Clark, the Governor of Illinois. Following his trips West with Meriwether Lewis as part of the Corps of Discovery, Clark has proceeded on a successful military and then political career, heading militias, territories, and now states out West, finally being elected Illinois' first Governor in 1819. Clark has seemingly taken Jackson's place after the failure of "Old Hickory" to win in 1816. Clark has several of the same qualifications and has little association with Jackson's own personal idiosyncrasies. Clark was nominated on a platform of aggressive pursuit of universal white male suffrage, greater expansion West, opposition to the National Bank, and a more powerful military. "America under the guide of the Clintons has steadily been losing the seas to the British and the French", surrogates are claiming across the country as the Navy has been cut back severely from its peak under Jefferson in the name of maintaining peace with Europe.

Three days.

It looks like an easy Clinton win, but will we have to have a VP Senate vote?

Seems hardly worth it.
