February Presidential (and Senate) Election Discussion Thread - ELECTION TRACKER

[Lumine]

Great idea Cris! I must say, I thought we had more candidates for President and Senate... Still, I think it's safe to assume that in the Presidential level Senator Tyrion, Governor SirNick and SoIA Superique are already potential candidates, as there has been a lot of talk about them (I'm not so sure about potential DR or CMPA candidates).

Also, I'm quite surprised that the Midwest Senate race is the only one with the field virtually complete at this point, even if the last one was highly competitive and entertaining.

Bump! I was thinking about the past election and the inevitable similarities with 1968, and I was wondering if the Duke/Reaganfan duel might resemble past challenges against incumbents, like Reagan v. Ford or Bush v. Buchanan.

Also, any ideas on who else might run in the Pacific, Northeast and Mideast?

[Lumine]

Is there no candidate for the Senate in the Pacific?

Not yet, nobody knows if Tyrion is going for the Presidency, for the Senate, or both. I would suggest Flo, DemPGH and Superique as potential candidates for that seat, though.

[Lumine]

I must say, I'm glad that the Senate candidates are finally announcing!

The interesting thing of the current scenario is that at this race Labor might lose a lot of seats, and it doesn't look good for them so far. They can't beat NCYankee in the South, Bore could still have a challenger in the Northeast (although his seat seems safe now) and they are facing an uphill battle in the Mideast. My race against TNF seems like a toss-up for now, and DemPGH might end up unopposed in the Pacific. Labor is very strong right now, but losing a second landslide against Duke and several Senate races would be quite a blow...

[Lumine]

At this stage Duke might have an even bigger landslide than October if he wins the primary. If Reaganfan wins, though, then things will get unpredictable...

[Lumine]

This has been probably the most boring Presidential election during my life in Atlasia, but if Reaganfan wins that primary we are going to see two weeks of political chaos. Not worse than the October Labor Primary, but it's going to be complicated...

Dukementum!
