HUDSON BREAKS FUND RAISING RECORD

by Wings Dingaling Helen Hudson's presidential campaign is celebrating a massively successful funds drive this week, which has broken all previous fundraising records. Following a co-ordinated strategy among grassroots activists, a reported $20 million* in new donations was channeled through Hudson's website.

"We raised so much money this week that we don't know what to do with it," said a Hudson campaign spokesman.  "We've already bought new cars for every staffer, and we're still swimming in cash." The new boost to Hudson's coffers has beaten the previous record set by David Dillinger in 2008, who pledged to use his personal wealth to refund anyone double the amount they donated.  His campaign was bankrupted within six days.

* $20 million equates to 20 credits.

VIDEO CLIP OF XIAO'S FALL GOES VIRAL

by Chappie Schlitz A video of presidential candidate Xander Xiao's dramatic pratfall has now achieved over two million views on popular video sharing site YouTube. The video depicts Xiao accidentally stumbling over a step as he climbed onto a stage at a fundraising event in Indianapolis on Monday, before losing his footing and landing face first on the stage floor. The footage was uploaded to YouTube less than two hours later, and was quickly spread further by media outlets via the Internet.

Xiao was physically unhurt by the fall, but the humorous quality of the incident may have repercussions for his campaign.  The clip has already been used to full effect on all the major topical comedy shows this week, and is expected to be a main feature of the opening sketch in the upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live. The incident is being credited with a decline in Xiao's poll numbers this week, with a MyPalFish Institute poll showing a small decrease in the number of likely voters who "take [Xiao] seriously."

HUDSON ILL WITH FLU

by Bob Flange Republican presidential candidate Helen Hudson has been ordered by doctors to rest at home and stay clear of the campaign trail for the next week, after being diagnosed with flu. Hudson reportedly began feeling unwell after a fundraising event in Jacksonville earlier this week.  Doctors quickly indicated that the symptoms signified an onset of flu, and soon recommended a week's rest.

As a result, all events scheduled for the Arkansas Republican to attend next week have been canceled. The Hudson campaign has not declared if they will run any advertising or commission any polls as yet, but has ruled out the possibility of any fundraisers, state rallies or national 'barnstorming' events occurring next week.

For some reason I overcharged Hudson for her positive ads in the last stage, which has now been fixed (including the credit balances).

XIAO BOOSTS EFFORTS ON THE TRAIL

by Seymour Flaps Faced with flagging poll numbers, Xander Xiao pledged on Wednesday to double his efforts on the campaign trail for next week. Citing a "need to recapture the advantage", the California Democrat has vowed to spend twice as long participating in campaign activities next week, compared to his previous schedule.

Until now, Xiao has attended five general election campaign events each week since the end of the primary season.  Next week, he will be attending ten, his campaign has confirmed. He is expected to return to the usual schedule of five weekly events after next week.
