Both tickets are full of great posters, but Goldwater-Bessell wins my vote, easily.

[White Trash]

Once again, voting for myself like a hack.

Also, the two tickets remind me a lot of '64 for some reason

[Higgs]

Goldwater/Bessell enthusiastically!

Party platforms?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

SouthernGothic.

[White Trash]

Party platforms?

I'm campaigning with a focus on economic and foreign policy issues. Expansion of programs, revitalization of our crumbling infrastructure starting with a fund for revamping the highway system. Subsidization of higher education for working class families. Fair trade policies and fighting for the middle class regarding global economics. Education will be our number one priority as it will allow us to remain competitive on a global scale.

A cautious foreign policy that is hesitant to intervene but seeks greater cooperation with existing multinational groups to find diplomatic solutions. I plan on decreasing American involvement in Afghanistan and the Levant, and will cut foreign aid to pariah states like Saudi Arabia.

Me likey.  I'm pretty sure the affable libertarian can't touch this, though he did support single-payer at one point IIRC.

Forgot to mention that I will, and I repeat WILL have enacted single-payer healthcare by the end of my first term.

✓ Governor SouthernGothic (D-LA)/Senator IceSpear (D-PA)- 376 E.V.

Senator Goldwater (R/L-WA)/Governor Ted Bessell (R/L-CA)- 162 E.V.

In what seemed like a close race between Senator Goldwater and Governor Gothic; the man from Louisiana prevailed. Governor Goldwater tapped into a dissatisfaction with both parties with his links to the Libertarian Party and with his choice of fellow Libertarian Ted Bessell of California who reinforced the Senator's new face for the party. Both brought a Western appeal, especially in the face of two Easterners being nominated on the other side.

The "Beasts From The East" as they were called by leftist leaning media outlets were planning their 'Eastern Strategy'. After a tough and heated campaign, Governor Gothic emerged his party's victor, and decided to pick non-other than his primary challenger from the North, Senator IceSpear. They made unlikely pair made a strong combo. While Sen. IceSpear was able to tap into liberal anger and anti-establishmentism and help bolster support for Governor Gothic with progressive economic policies like a single-payer health care program. Simultaneously, Governor Gothic was making his rounds among more socially conservative voters appealing to their better senses against a "Crazed Extremist".

In the end the battle between East Vs. West ended with a dramatic landslide for the East. But, some feel that Goldwater's candidacy will revive a "lost GOP" and they will come back stronger with a base of new young conservatism.

Rule Well, Mr. President.

I want to thank the good people of Atlas for this honor. I'll post my cabinet later today.

Southern Gothic loses to Goldwater in WV?!  Not seein' it.
