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

[Adam Griffin]

Is Duke that really Federalist party establishment. He was not even a member of that party until it was time for a primary if he wanted a second mandate.

Other main parties don't seem to put much effort in challenging him in a future election. He is probably well connected to other parties establishment.     

Perhaps you're right, as I'm not really sure what entitles the Federalist establishment these days. By "establishment", I assumed the ones who want to win and put that ahead of ideology. I think a lot of people know that Duke made a conscious choice to join the Federalists. Choosing the Federalist route was the more difficult one. A second term for him would be fairly guaranteed so long as he was a member of a major political party. I'd guess that basically explains why the other parties haven't been in a rush to field candidates. Still though, it seems like in part the Federalist primary is so tough because a contingent feels like Duke has been the third Labor President, heh.

[Senator Cris]

Vith the 72% of the votes in, we can project that Duke has won the Federalist Presidential Primary.



72% IN

✔ President Duke (Fed-SC) / Vice President Matt (Fed-VT) 19 (52,8%)
Former IDS Governor Reaganfan (Fed-OH) / Mideast Governor Spiral (Fed-MO) 15 (41,7%)
Abstain 2 (5,5%)

[Senator Cris]

Nevertheless, I would like to personally congratulate with Reaganfan for her campaign.

     I suspect that Reaganfan is a guy.

The close primary is due to Duke being unorthodox on both fiscal and social issues. If he was at least somewhat pro-life he would've gotten Miles & my* vote. If he was a bit more free market he probably would have swung Rooney, Electionsguy & PiT. Since he wasn't either of those things, Reaganfan was able to produce a diverse AnythingButDuke coalition.

* I vastly prefer Duke, both fiscally and stylistically, but abortion is a dealbreaker for me. Duke still gets an enthusiatic vote in the general.

Apparently, some a majority of Federalists have forgotten who their nominee is in the presidential race. Amusing that Duke has received only four more [1]s from Federalists as he has from Laborites, with just a little over 1/4 of his [1]s coming from his own party.

[1]s by Party:

FED -> Duke: 8
FED -> Spiral: 10
FED -> TNF: 0

LAB -> Duke: 4
LAB -> Spiral: 1
LAB -> TNF: 16

PRO -> Duke: 8
PRO -> Spiral: 0
PRO -> TNF: 2

CMP -> Duke: 1
CMP -> Spiral: 1
CMP -> TNF: 1

D-R -> Duke: 0
D-R -> Spiral: 5
D-R -> TNF: 1

RGP -> Duke: 3
RGP -> Spiral: 0
RGP -> TNF: 0

OTH -> Duke: 1
OTH -> Spiral: 0
OTH -> TNF: 1
OTH -> EarlAW: 1

IND -> Duke: 4
IND -> Spiral: 2
IND -> TNF: 1

[Napoleon]

Sirnick, Mr. X, Nix, Marokai, Snowguy, MaxQue

That's 6 Duke Labor voters.

[Talleyrand]

Nix's vote flows to TNF/Gass over Duke/Matt.

Ah yeah. I guess he is still a Duke voter but not really.
