Keys to the White House: 1948 a different America (1960 election)

[Orwell]

Sure

I'd be interested in playing this.

I am interested

As it has been nearly a year since this game had an unfortunate end, I’ve contacted many of the former players and we’ve discussed if they would like to rejuvenate the game. I’ve decided to revive the game, and I’ll allow for new signups from the current time until the end of the game.

Any idea on how long before we start up again?

We can expect the game to restart at noon tomorrow the Democratic ticket will need to be decided but I’ll give a short rundown of what we’ve done so far in the update before we do the next ballot.

I notice you didn't comment on my profile on an eighteen year old Joe Biden. Does that mean you approve?

Yes Sir, I just didn’t get around to it.

I'll proably just have Kenway go back to being a civil rights lawyer

Iirc Kenway was elected in 1954 so this lines up, didn’t Jackson and Kenway have an agreement Kenway would seek the Governorship come 62?

Things do change with time.

Plus, Kenway is heavily disillusioned as far as politics goes. Might just bide my time on the outer.

[Buffalo Mayor Young Kim]

I’d definitely be interested.

[Orwell]

We have the update, and the Democratic and Republican tickets are here. Y’all have until noon on Sunday to post your turns and for those in charge of the individual campaigns. (NTP, Elcapsar, and Kaiser Dave) I look to see what you decide to do in regards to the campaigns for your tickets.

Hey, may I have a week long extension? My computer is on the fritz (any window I open stops responding in five seconds and stop working for ten, maybe twenty minutes. It's extremely frustrating). Sorry to be a bother to everyone with this.

Nvm to this, my computer works just fine in the morning. It's strange, but not going to look a gift horse, eh?

Sophie Sharpe

Age: 32
Occupation: Community Organizer, Labor Activist
Party: Democratic Party

Bio: Sophie Sharpe was born in Vernonia, Oregon to a logger and schoolteacher. One of six children, the family’s politics were shaped around the progressive causes of labor and community organizing. Sophie was a good student, and her family urged her to go to college. At 18, she attended the University of Oregon and achieved a graduate degree.

Hoping to be closer to her family she moved to Salem where she originally got a job as a teacher. As a teacher, she quickly became involved in the local union, organizing her fellow teachers and leading strikes on behalf of the workers in the school. In Salem, she also met her husband, Harold Sharpe, a state representative. The two had a whirlwind romance before Harold’s untimely death in a plane crash. Sophie’s political career would begin fully here, when she was appointed to his seat, won the special election, and a full term in 1958.

While she originally supported the more progressive Senator Hubert Humphrey at the convention, she was a willing supporter of Douglas in the general. Her progressive views on civil rights made her bristle at the embrace of Storm Thurmond by the Vice Presidential candidate, but the liberal platform the party agreed to assuaged some of these concerns. Her primary focus is now electing Democrats up and down the ballot.

Glad you're feeling better, dude. Can't wait to see the result, Even though every Dem has p much agreed at this point that we'll lose.

Yeah it's definitely more like than not that we will lose. Excluding some RNG potentially changing things.

Some very late scandal happens for the GOP and Douglas winds up barely winning.

I’ll give y’all the post election reaction in the morning, we’re going to be taking a 1 week break though, since I’ll be getting a new laptop it’ll allow all of you to regroup and think about your plans for the next 4 years and me to actually write an update worth reading

[GoTfan]

So is that it?

[KaiserDave]

So is that it?

A bigger update is coming Wednesday

[Orwell]

So is that it?

My computer died a few hours before the Presidential election update, so I had to write it on my iPad, that’s not the full update it’s just what I was able to get out, I’m going to edit it and make it readable this week.

How did Louis and Arnold's campaigns go? Did they both win or did only Louis win compared to Arnold?

Louis was victorious but his opponent had a strong showing for a Republican, Arnold too was able to win both the primary and General but his position is tenous at best.
