Brokaw: Good evening. I'm Tom Brokaw, and welcome to tonight's special primary edition of Election Update 2008.

Brokaw: More results are now coming in from precincts across the nation, and we can make two more calls at this time.

Kathleen Sebelius - 44.1%

District of Columbia - 1% in
Hillary Clinton - 64.0%
Kathleen Sebelius - 35.3%

Brokaw: Both calls for Clinton, although the Sebelius campaign has been bullish about their chances in the two states closing at this hour, and seemingly with good reason.

U.S. Virgin Islands - 50% in
Kathleen Sebelius - 53.1%
Hillary Clinton - 45.7%

Maine - 1% in
Hillary Clinton - 49.7%
Kathleen Sebelius - 49.6%

Maryland - 1% in
Kathleen Sebelius - 50.6%
Hillary Clinton - 49.0%

Brokaw: These results show Governor Sebelius not only competing but ahead in Maryland, where she was viewed as liable to lose until a late endorsement by longtime Senator Barbara Mikulski appears to have turned the race around, although we cannot yet make a call there. Senator Clinton, meanwhile, ahead in Maine, but only by a razor-thin margin. We will be back with more results after the break.

PHASE III, TURN IX: A TEST OF COATTAILS

And so the dust settles on another tough primary night. Clinton has managed to extend her delegate edge, but Sebelius has once again proven that her support appears to be expanding, not contracting. As such, many believe this battle will continue long into February, leading many to wonder what will happen next in this hotly contested race.

Among the Republicans, Congressman Paul now finds what was once his greatest threat gone, as Donald Trump has bowed out of the race even as he was beginning to raise the specter of a serious third-party victory. As such, his campaign now appears to have a combined focus on general election campaigning for himself and special election campaigning for Scott Walker, who remains in a dead heat with Baldwin even despite Trump's withdrawal from the race. Only time will tell how this race will turn out...

This turn will be due on August 8 IRL, and will go through February 19th in-game.

Brokaw: Good evening. I'm Tom Brokaw, and welcome to tonight's special primary edition of Election Update 2008.

Wisconsin Sen. Election - 100% in
Rep. Tammy Baldwin - 49.71%
Cty. Comm. Scott Walker - 49.68%

Brokaw: These results show Congresswoman Baldwin winning by a hair's breadth in the Senate election, with Scott Walker putting up an astonishing performance, given his position more than 15 points back when this race began. Though Republicans were hopeful for a win tonight, the fact this race was so close may still be taken as a good sign for the Paul campaign, as, given Donald Trump has dropped out of this race, many would consider this a "Leans D" state. Congresswoman Baldwin's seat will be filled by an almost assuredly uneventful special election.

Brokaw: That decided, we have the first results in from Hawaii.

Hawaii - 1% in
Kathleen Sebelius - 57.21%
Hillary Clinton - 42.63%

Brokaw: Hawaii long considered safe Sebelius country, but a late push by Clinton preventing a poll-closing call. We will be back with more results after the break.

PHASE III, TURN X: SHOWDOWN IN THE LONE STAR STATE

And so the dust settles on another tough primary night. Sebelius has finally managed to notch another win in the overall delegate count, but Clinton managed to break into Hawaii, once considered poll-closing call Sebelius country. As well, Clinton's early lead may end up serving her well, as she still leads by 160 delegates. With 370 delegates up on the 4th, the largest prize is Texas, a state with both Plains and Southern heritage. If Clinton wins here, it could reinvigorate her campaign, whereas a Sebelius win in the Lone Star State could push her back into the overall delegate lead for the first time since Super Tuesday.

Among the Republicans, Congressman Paul is disappointed at Scott Walker's loss in Wisconsin, but still sees a silver lining in the narrow margin. As such, he proceeds on with his campaign, hoping to grow his lead in the generic ballot and prevent a fifth Democratic term. However, some in his campaign have made a suggestion: if he manages to cozy up to some old Trump endorsers, he may be able to win over a sizable portion of the 10% of voters who still prefer Trump to either major party candidate. Time will tell how he will react to these suggestions...

This turn will be due on August 15 IRL, and will go through March 4th in-game.

Yeah, I really don't think I have the time or as a matter the energy for this game. But it was an absolute joy to play and I will state for the record that Hillary Clinton will drop out and endorse Kathleen Sebelius

Got it. Thanks for playing!

PHASE IV, TURN I: AS WINTER ENDS, SO THE GENERAL BEGINS

And so both parties have their nominees: it will be Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius against Texas Congressman Ron Paul, and, with the Trumpian wild card having unexpectedly been removed from the deck, it seems certain one of them will be the next President. Many are now waiting to see where both nominees will go from here, as there are still months until the convention, and the polls promise a tight race even now...

Quick note: I'd like to hear from both nominees on whether you would rather do turns until the Republican Convention (which will take place first ITTL, since the President is a Democrat), or just skip to then.

This turn, if played out, will be due on August 20 IRL, and will go through February 29th in-game (given recent events, I imagine Governor Sebelius might want to change her schedule).
