I will today announce three major endorsements, all of candidates from other parties. These officials have proven themselves worthy of the offices they seek.

Governor ZuWo for Mideast Governor
Senator Scott for Northeast Governor
Governor Nix for Northeast Senator

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Thank you, Snowstalker.  Your endorsement is well appreciated.

[ZuWo]

I appreciate it, Snowstalker. You are welcome at any campaign event of mine.

My fellow Atlasians,

The state of our nation is improving; thanks partially to an exciting At-Large Senate Race, activity is buzzing, even if greats such as Yelnoc, Polnut, and Oakvale have left us (the latter two leaving the forum outright). But no union is perfect, and we thus must strive to improve that union constantly. The solution to more fully revive this nation is not only a President who stands first and foremost for those in need, the working and middle classes, but young blood and new ideas. I may not be a hardened veteran of Atlasia, but I have served as governor of the nation's largest region and have run in several (unsuccessful) campaigns past. Therefore, I have chosen to seek Atlasia's highest office, the presidency.

My running mate has been chosen and will be revealed tomorrow, though some of the "Chat Room Crew" already know who I have selected. Originally I though of running a scorched-earth campaign, but I think I'm better than that. Though negative campaigning is not inherently bad, I want to focus on ideas that will help the people of Atlasia. Those ideas will be revealed in debates and through the people's questions over the next few weeks until the election. Thank you, and may Dave bless Atlasia.

Wow...not much buzz.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Good luck Snowstalker

If the term "Snowstalker doctrine" comes into vogue, what will it mean a decade from now?

When I thought of this question, I thought of foreign policy (see the Bush Doctrine). Therefore, I assume it would mean a mix of Wilsonian internationalism, but with a twist of pragmatism and observing each issue individually.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Let the VP speculation begin (and end when I reveal it tomorrow)!

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Will your running mate hold any political office in Atlasia after the new Senators swear in?

Yes.

[Napoleon]

Will your running mate hold any political office in Atlasia after the new Senators swear in?

Yes.

Will he also run for reelection?

Will your running mate hold any political office in Atlasia after the new Senators swear in?

Yes.

Will he also run for reelection?

It may depend on whether I am still in the race by October.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

No, but I did drop out last time before the election (hopefully I won't this time).

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a shortlist!

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

The announcement will be made shortly after 3 PM ET in Youngstown, Ohio.

[ZuWo]

Good luck Snowstalker

[Pingvin]

Good luck Snowstalker

I have an educated guess, but I'll stay mum on it.

Snowstalker takes the stage in Youngstown, OH. A rolled-up banner is behind him, soon to be unveiled.

Thank you, Youngstown! I'm glad to be here, in a city where, for the first time in years, the manufacturing sector is growing, not shrinking. Much of that thanks goes to the labor union, a true Atlasian institution. The right to form a union is fundamental in a modern society. It gives employees a voice in their company to help balance the interests of the employer with those of the employee. I'm proud to seek the nomination of the party founded to support the interests of labor--the aptly-named Labor Party.

My running mate has fought tirelessly in the Senate to help middle-class families gain better footing in these tough economic times. We may disagree on many issues, including the ideal form and function of labor unions, but we agree that strong unions mean a strong middle class, and a strong middle class means a strong Atlasia. I'm proud to say today that the next Vice President of Atlasia will be the great Midwest Senator, Redalgo!

On cue, the banner rolls down behind Snowstalker.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

*cheers* *waves flags*

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Great choice...I disagree with Redalgo on virtually every issue but he is a fine person and a pleasure to serve with

[Lambsbread]

Great choice! Good luck!

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Get in here, Redalgo!

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Governor Snowstalker on Napoleon's re-election announcement:

"Bring it on."

[Redalgo]

Will he also run for reelection?

It may depend on whether I am still in the race by October.

Sounds like this may be a stalking horse pony candidacy.

Fixed!

Get in here, Redalgo!

Allo there! Is this the part where I smile and wave, or is eloquent rambling in order?

*gaily waves a little red flag and moseys about aimlessly in the crowd, hugging people*
