A Fighter, not a Promise - Radio Ad



Narrator: There are many Senators running for the Presidency of the United States, and they all sound the same - promising, but with no record of solving problems. John Lindsay is different - he's been New York City's mayor for 6 years and has fought for every accomplishment. And he's gotten a lot done - half-fare transit for thousands of seniors, free college education for whites and blacks, the first massive reduction in pollution ever. In your primary, vote John Lindsay, for a fighter, not a promise.

Mike Gravel Debate Answers

Intro: "Thank you for holding this debate! There are many important questions facing this nation, and I'm eager to answer them."

#1 (busing): "Well, it's not perfect, but I think it's a measure that needs to be taken. But it isn't the only thing we should be doing. I'm a firm believer in equal rights, and I believe that we can't take equal rights slowly. If elected President, I will make equal rights a priority. We need to give more opportunities to blacks, and encourage equality from the bottom-up."

#2 (draft amnesty): "Well, I don't think the draft should exist, so why should we put people in jail when the "laws" they break are unjust? One of the first things I'll do is end the draft--as I've already tried to do in the senate. After that we could discuss exactly what to do with draft dodgers."

#3 (nominee support): "I will support the nominee if they support ending the Vietnam War, and providing the true change we need. Some people in this race aren't that different to the Republicans, so what would the point be in supporting them?"

#4 (Vietnam): "Well, we need to leave Vietnam. It was a war we never should've been in. How is my record different? Well, that's easy, I fought hard on the Senate floor to end the draft, harder than anyone else here. And without compromising national security, I let the people know just how bad this war has been. I'm the most anti-war candidate in the race, and my record proves it. It's not just talk, I've taken action, and will continue to take action as President."

Closing statement: "Ladies and gentlemen, there are several good candidates in this election. But only one candidate has a proven record of standing against the war, and for the people. I hope you will all consider voting for me in the upcoming primaries and caucuses, thank you."
[/quote]

New Mike Gravel Endorsers

Congressman Ralph Metcalfe (D-IL)

"When Shirley Chisholm dropped out, I was disappointed, until I realized that Mike Gravel has the same progressive views and isn't afraid of enacting them. Not only that, but he will get us out of Vietnam, something that should've been done a long time ago."

Metcalfe will chair the Gravel Campaign's Black Outreach Committee

Actor Larry Hagman

"I'm an actor, so I know the real deal from a fake, and Senator Gravel is the real deal. When he talks about peace, he means it. Unless we, I don't know, find a genie in a bottle, electing Mike Gravel as President would be the best way to put our nation back on track."

Governor Robert Docking (D-K)

"As Governor of Kansas, I know what it takes to lead something. Mike Gravel has never been a governor, or even a mayor, but after just one meeting with him I know he has what it takes to lead, and that's what this country needs in the White House."

"Well, I think the Arizona caucus sent a message. No one expected me to come in third, beating both Muskie and McGovern, but I did. The people have decided that the establishment favorite was inadequate, and prefered me to him, despite my lower name recognition and tenure. That says a lot about my message that we need to end the war, which is backed up by my actions in the Senate to do just that. I'm the true alternative to the status quo, and the people are realizing that."

"I'm a big believer in equal rights for all. While I'm generally in favor of personal freedom, I think the government certainly plays a role in something so important as civil rights.

"Yes, I think it's a good idea for Nixon to go to China, although it's hard to say it will help much if he keeps us in Vietnam. Having an understanding of our neighbors elsewhere on the globe will benefit us, but it's important we keep the home front as the main priority, and with the war in South Asia, that's clearly not what the current administration is doing."

Turn Six: Live Free or Die:
March 1st to March 7th, 1972


In the News!

Pioneer 10 launched from Cape Kennedy
Space probe on the march to Jupiter, expected to take pictures in 73'

"English Bill" killed on the House, Schmitz to face primary
Despite Southern Dems support Schmitz efforts are shot down by GOP leadership, moderate Andrew Hinshaw to challenge him to a primary

Terrorist Plot foiled in TWA Flight 7
Plane lands on New York City under bomb threat, explosive defused within minutes of explosion

1.- New Hampshire Primary: Yes, the NH Primary, the former Kingmaker of 1968. While pundits expect Nixon and Muskie to win these contests with a healthy margin, all candidates on the ballot are face expectations to beat, save for a few exceptions like the late entrance of Senator Fred Harris. Both parties will have 22 delegates up for grabs here.

2.- Illinois Ballot Access: All Democratic Candidates will be on the Illinois Ballot, although the Republicans made a ridiculous blunder by not even filing in. As a result the Illinois primary will only have an "uncommitted" slate up for voting.

Gallup: President Nixon's Approval Rating:

Approve: 56% (+6)
Disapprove: 32% (-9)
Undecided: 12% (+3)

Gallup: 1972 Presidential Election:


Richard M. Nixon: 43% (+3)
Generic Democrat: 38% (-3)
George C. Wallace: 10% (-1)
John G. Schmitz: 2% (+1)
Undecided: 6%

Primary Polling

Gallup: Republican Primary:

Richard Nixon: 71% (+4)
Barry Goldwater Jr: 24% (+5)
Undecided: 5% (-3)

Nixon's trip to China does enrage conservatives, but it brings a lot of added benefits to moderates and liberals, boosting him on the polls. Goldwater won the Morgens endorsement and had good fundraising, but he did himself no favors on the Republican debate by allowing Nixon to look more statesmanlike and specially for making the crucial mistake of calling for amnesty, a move that has brought condemnation from the conservative wing. All in all and despite virtually losing the 102 Illinois delegates by not filing in, Nixon is in a good spot as long as he can defeat Goldwater on decent margins.

Gallup: Democratic Primary:

Ed Muskie: 23% (-4)
John Lindsay: 23% (+2)
Sam Yorty: 13% (-2)
George McGovern: 13% (+2)
Mike Gravel: 9% (-1)
Eugene McCarthy: 7% (-1)
Fred Harris: 5%
Jimmy Carter: 3% (-1)
Undecided: 4% (-2)

Fred Harris's entrance to the race shakens things up, as his appeal garners losses from Muskie, Gravel, and specially from Carter, with populist message resounding through the Midwest. Muskie continues to put on brave efforts, but the continuous attacks from his fellow democrats, many rumours launched from the newspapers (more on this later) and a lackuster message take their toll, allowing a focused Mayor Lindsay to tie him for second (and ony failing to surpass him due to attacks on the Mayor as well.

The case of Sam Yorty is a paradox, as he picks up support on several states yet he has been systematically set on fire by most of his opponents, greatly hurting his national polling. Finally, Senator McGovern scores a triumph in the debate by giving the right tone and this justifies as surge for him as a leading anti-war voice, but his efforts on early states see him with less of an increase as his attention is divided over too many states.

Random and Player Consecuence Events:

McGovern wins debate, surges nationally:

The first Democratic Presidential debate was aired by PBS and thus it wasn't seen much outside of New Hampshire, yet the national coverage of it brought rather positive results. All the candidates sought to find their own voice at the debate stage, Muskie and Yorty being the most attacked during the entire ordeal. With Carter, Gravel and McCarthy not making much of an impression Lindsay and Harris gave strong performances, yet it was Senator McGovern who scored victory. Striking a unity tone improved his national image, allowing him to rise on polling.

McCarthy's fundraising crippled:

The past weeks have not been kind to Senator McCarthy, as a lack of donors following his opening of expensive offices in early primary states has crippled his fundraising and strained his organization. Staffers and volunteers still believe McCarthy's campaign will take off as more grassroots support is mobilized, but these news spell trouble for the Minnesota Senator.

Carter blasted on experience, embarassed by "Billy" Carter:

Governor Carter has hit trouble following a strong campaign in Florida, as many who have taken notice to his insurgent campaign have attacked the Governor for his lack of experience and for apparent belief that he will not come close to winning the nomination. Matters were more complicated as the Governor's brother, Billy Carter, was caught by Rolling Stone reporter Hunter S. Thompson trying to urinate on other members of the press. The news have damaged the public image of the Carter campaign.

Goldwater loses debate, conservatives react badly to amnesty:

To the shock of many Richard Nixon accepted to hold his first true debate since his epic match with John F. Kennedy in 1960, and to the surprise of many his gamble payed off handsomely. New Hampshire voters saw Nixon as a very statesmanlike candidate, striking a tone of moderation and competence which contrasted with a more fiery Barry Goldwater Jr. The matter that eventually resolved the debate for Nixon was when Representative Goldwater came out in support of amnesty, a move that brought him support from the anti war left, yet strong criticism from the conservative Republicans. As a result, the Manchester Union Leader declined to endorse Goldwater.

I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure I filed for Illinois a few turns back. I might have meant to do it and not have written it in my post, but I seem to remember doing so.

I'm not sure if I recall that, but as I've explained before deadlines are open on certain turns, which I why I would not acknowledge if one were to, say, announce that he was filing in for all primaries on turn one.

Special Event: Muskie Under Siege in NH:


The Democratic New Hampshire Primary has been shaken over the past few days over a series of attacks launched from the Manchester Union Leader and other local newspapers towards current frontrunner Senator Ed Muskie (D-ME), which have been growing in tone and length as voting day nears. The Union Leader and other newspapers have already launched several articles questioning Muskie's character, with several lines of criticism:

-Some articles have questioned his stance on the issues, with a particularly vitriolic one calling Muskie a "flip flopper" on Vietnam and questioning whether his supporters can really follow his stances.

-Others have directed their shots are the campaign itself, stating that Muskie's underperformance in early states is a sign of what's to come.

-There have also been claims that Muskie has no message except claims of being the most electable, presenting the thesis that his campaign efforts so far have been quite laclustre.

As rumors already start to appear regarding Muskie's wife and potential comments made beforehand all the media attention has focused on the Maine Senator, and it is believed his response might seriously affect the outcome of this rumours. Other candidates running in New Hampshire have also been asked regarding these allegations, and are expected to comment as well.

Turn 6 Fred Harris Endorsements

Milwaukee, WI Mayor Henry Maier

"Senator Harris represents all that's right for the people of Milwaukee. Through his tireless work on behalf of labor and his expertise promoting interracial dialogue and peace on the Kerner commission, his fights have meant a lot to the great people of my city. Certain candidates claim that a man from the prairie cannot know the struggles of city life. They're dead wrong. Senator Harris knows the problems of cities as well as any hotshot big city mayor. As the foremost representative of this city, I'd like to see his wisdom, experience, and passion in the White House."
Activities: Mayor Maier will be barnstorming, organizing, and fundraising in Milwaukee

Fmr. Oklahoma Senator Mike Monroney

"I've had the pleasure of serving in the US senate with Fred Harris for a number of years, and I'm glad to call him one of my best friends. He and I worked on a number of initiatives together, from public works projects for impoverished areas to initiatives to help Native Americans. I have confidence that Fred is the only candidate in the field with the will to do what it takes to put this country back on track. Since I'm retired, i'll be donating what time I have to the cause!"
Activities:Mike Monroney will be barnstorming in Idaho and Montana this turn

Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright

"I've been considered by a number of candidates for my endorsement this primary season, but only one of them truly merits my full backing. I've not only seen Senator Fred Harris in action in the senate, but also through my recent meetings with him, it's become apparent to me that he would make a phenomenal president. Not only is his plan on Vietnam one of the best I've seen, but I know with certainty that Fred will not turn a blind eye to suffering Americans. He understands the issue of rural poverty, something that disproportionally impacts my state. I pledge to do what it takes to ensure that my good colleague Fred Harris wins the Democratic Nomination and eventually the general election."
Activities: Senator Fulbright will be barnstorming in Arkansas and Southwest Missouri this week

Past Endorsers
Rep. William Roy: Representative Roy will be organizing supporters in Kansas this week
Phillip Berrigan: Fr. Berrigan will visit University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of Michigan, and Ohio State University to talk to student activists about Fred Harris and set up "Students for Harris" clubs this week
Senator Jennings Randolph: Senator Randolph will be barnstorming in South Carolina for the 1st half of the week and will attend his senatorial duties for the second half of the week


Comments on Ed Muskie Allegations
"I am not surprised that some members of the media are spreading vicious personal rumors regarding his wife and family. I know Ed and he's a good man of character. These slanderous rumors are inhumane and as we move forward in this primary, I'd like to shy away from attacks on the character of other candidates. That being said, many of the attacks on Ed Muskie's record are justified. On Vietnam, he's shifted opinions and appears to be waffling on the issue. We all know this to be a fact, and I ask that voters pick a candidate with a true, sensible, and realistic withdrawal plan.

The time to vote for a consistent fighter for the poor is now. The time to vote for racial justice and peace in our streets is now.

REPORTER: "Why did you decide to run? Why not support McGovern, Gravel, Lindsay or McCarthy?"
HARRIS: "That's a fair question for sure. I'll break this one down man by man. In terms of Senator McGovern, he's an absolutely wonderful guy and I can call him a good friend and ally in the senate. The same generally applies to Senator McCarthy. I'll have you remember that Mr. McGovern and Mr. McCarthy voted to authorize the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, a disheartening and unconstitutional step towards total war. Moreover, Senator McCarthy, while formerly a reliable progressive senate vote, seems to have shifted to the right some in recent years, which disappoints me. Senator Gravel I believe falls towards some generally anti-government positions at times, not acknowledging that the government needs to be a force for justice. While he also is a good man, I think those looking for a proper populist should be supporting me. On Mayor Lindsay, I know him as a great guy from all of our meetings and I really appreciate his input into this race. As the chair of the Kerner commission, I believe both he and I have a key understanding of race relations and urban issues and no matter who wins, I'd like our positions on said issues to enter the dialogue. However, I think he might be lacking in experience for the oval office, especially in reaching out to rural and suburban voters. My rural background I believe places me in a distinct position in this field, with urban and rural know-how. When Shirley Chisholm was in the race, I felt that we had a true populist. She had experience living and working in New York but also growing up on a rural Caribbean island. It was once she dropped out that I saw the void of a peoples' candidate and decided to fill that gap!"
