Post-Obama - A Different 2012 (Rules, Sign-up, and OOC thread)

[wxtransit]

I'm not withdrawing my complaint.

These were the rules you saw when you signed up. Had it been another candidate that received a 95-100 in the randomizer, I would have done the same. So no, it is not unfair. You either play by the rules that were already agreed on or you do not. I'm not withdrawing the story.

Also, I should note, without going into too much detail that will be unfair to release, your event, since you only rolled a 98, will not have much affect on the turn.

This is purely by chance that you got that. The mod does not choose of you roll a bad number. But you got unlucky this round, and you can get really lucky some other rounds as well.

If you want WX to cheat just to favor you, then no. This is a fair game and you are not going to be served to on a plate and platter.

On top of that, the worst thing you can be doing right now to your in-game polls, is complaining.

I think more realistic news for Feingold would've meant lack of funding (which meant he dropped in polls), not a comment at a rally.

He can't easily recover from lack of funding, which means less long-term enthusiasm in his campaign. Again, without giving too much away (which is harder to do the more questions I get about this ) it is easier for him to recover from this.

Why did Bloomberg get Baker and Cuomo endorsements, I did not see them endorsing anyone but their party nominees

Baker's a moderate, and would've endorsed Giuliani had he asked...and Cuomo's hated by almost everyone in the Democratic Party at this point (if the IDC thing is still happening), so I'm not sure any of the Democrats would want his endorsement. I can't speak for Obama or Feingold, but Biden didn't want him, and a Northeastern Governor wouldn't help Bredesen's campaign.

Also, wouldn't it make more sense for Powell to endorse Bush?

No, Powell is on the record for disliking George Bush (that's why he endorsed Obama in 08) and especially Cheney.

Jeb is a totally different person, last time I checked.

Note that Carolla as well needs a schedule

[Huey Long is a Republican]

I'm posting my schedule but they will really be just speeches on some days with some barnstorming and what not sprinkled in.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

the Bredesen wave will come after Iowa, I guarantee it.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Anyways, here are my primary predictions for the first 4 states:

IA: Obama (1st); Biden (2nd); Bredesen (3rd); Feingold (4th)
NH: Obama (1st); Biden (2nd); Feingold (3rd); Bredesen (4th
SC: Obama (1st); Bredesen (2nd); Biden (3rd); Feingold (4th)
FL: Obama (1st); Biden (2nd); Bredesen (3rd); Feingold (4th)

The reason I think Bredesen will hit 2nd is SC is because he's a southerner and he has grown a support base in the state.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

For the Republicans, I think it's obvious based on current polling:

If this is based off of the Turn Three polling, just a note, Huckabee currently leads in Iowa.

I don't think there should be any extension this turn. We've had enough already and I think it would be a good idea to have those who haven't posted to be punished because of it.

Also, how is Bredesen looking with his speeches?

It's already too late to ask for extensions. That ended yesterday at midnight.
