Flip the 8th
(a ripoff of Flip the 6th, by OBD)


As part of the 2020 redistricting and reapportionment, the rapidly growing state of Colorado earned a brand-new 8th district. The district, like the other 7, was drawn by an independent commission, and the commission left the 8th district a partisan battleground ripe for the picking by either party, and a crucial win for either party. The seat would be important to the Democrats if they were to retain their trifecta, while the GOP, yearning for an end to two years of complete Democratic control, badly needed the seat as well.

From this background, it was somewhat surprising that not that many candidates chose to run in the primaries; in particular, the Democratic Primary had a mere 2 candidates. Perhaps the others had been scared off by Glenn Youngkin's upset victory in the Virginia gubernatorial election a month prior. On the Republican side, there were 3 candidates. Notably, two candidates - John Elway and Jo Duffield - would seek to represent the district not as Democrats  or Republicans, but as independents (in Elway's case) and Green Independents (in Duffield's).

The primary for this seat will almost certainly be contentious no matter what, and the general election even more so.

The current polling stands at:

General Election Polling:
 - Generic Republican candidate: 43%
 - Generic Democratic candidate: 41%
 - Independent John Elway: 3%
 - Independent Green Jo Duffield: 2%
 - Undecided: 11%

The GOP holds a narrow edge in the general election polling over the Democrats, though a significant 11% of voters are still undecided. Independent John Elway starts off with a somewhat impressve 3% of the vote, likely due to his popularity as a figure in the popular Denver Broncos. Lastly, moderate Independent Green Jo Duffield, largely benefitting from popularity among the voters of her hometown, lags at 2% of the vote.

Republican Primary Polling:
 - Safe Adams: 12%
 - Lean Adams: 10%
 - Safe Walzinger: 10%
 - Lean Walzinger: 10%
 - Safe Fujimori: 13%
 - Lean Fujimori: 3%
 - Undecided: 42%
In the GOP primary, a significant sect of voters - more than 2/5 - are still undecided, but those who are decided seem to lean towards YouTuber Jordan Adams. 12% say that they will with certainty support him, and another 10% lean toward him, to give him an impressive 22% at the moment. The somewhat eccentric Brandon Walzinger is slightly behind, at 20%, and notably, half his support comes from people who are not definitely in favour of him but simply lean toward him at the moment. Lastly, the most fiery and controversial candidate is also the only one with political experience - and the one with the strongest base of support. Yes, Keiko Fujimori, the very controversial state representative who held onto her seat by less than a point in both 2018 and 2020, has 13% of voters squarely in her camp - edging out even Jordan Adams in that regard. However, this seems like a case of comparatively high floor, low ceiling, as just 3% of voters lean toward but are not 100% in favour of her, to give her 16%. In order for Mr Adams to win he needs to retain his edge and perhaps add to the proportion of his supporters who squarely support him. Brandon Walzinger will need to contstruct both a broader base of core voters, and appeal to more voters who are still undecided. Keiko Fujimori will need to turbocharge the turnout among her small but enthusiastic base, whilst simultaneously attempt to appeal to a larger audience. It will certainly be an interesting primary on the Republican side in the coming months.

Democratic Primary Polling:
 - Safe Castillo-Tozer: 6%
 - Lean Castillo-Tozer: 19%
 - Safe Castillo: 7%
 - Lean Castillo: 19%
 - Undecided: 49%
There are, as it turns out, even more undecides on the Democratic side. Perhaps oweing to the fact that they have just two candidates and not three, almost half the Democratic electorate has yet to choose a candidate, or even lean toward them. Carmen Castilo-Tozer, a transgender activist, and Pedro Castillo, a self-made activist with an inspiring life story, share similar last names and are both inspiring candidates. As such, just 13% of the Democratic electorate is committed to supporting one candidate (for the GOP, this figure was 35%), with 7% safe Castillo and 6% safe Castillo-Tozer. Another 38% of voters lean toward one candidate but are not 100% supportive of either, and they are split between the two candidates equally. So, what we see is that there is a massive segment of undecided voters up for grabs, and that very few voters have completely decided on a candidate thus far. Overall, Castillo is leading Castillo-Tozer by one point: he has 26% to her 25%. The race is very competitive.

A lot of the requirements for this game are posted in the interest thread; nothing special, just make sure you don't cheat / be rude / be unfair in any way.

As for how to play, let me begin by saying that I will be putting up new polling every week or so (specifically, a 5-10 day window). The dates in the game will begin by being as in real life (so, for instance, today in the game it's December 7), but since the real primary is several months away, time in the game will pass faster than in real life and the date in the game will be after the real-life date soon. I will post how many days each round represents. For this round, we will be going from December 7 until December 19-20. The next round will begin on December 20-21 and probably last till the end of 2021. Nothing too complicated. As for real life events, you may incorporate any and all events that occur in real life in real time. I know that if something happens on, say, December 20, it might already be December 23 in the game (just an example), and thus it might be 'old news.' Don't worry about that. I will not make that affect the polling of anyone in the game.

More pertinently, how to play. Below I've given key information you'll need to know during the primary. The information for the general election will be given then.
You will begin with a sum of $300,000 each for the primary. You will be expected to keep track of how much money you have, and everything will cost. I'd ask that in each post you write, you include somewhere how much money you still have left. For instance, for your opening post, you could write "$300,000" somewhere in the post.
Fundraisers will cost anywhere from $4,000 to $15,000 - you choose. The more expensive the fundraiser, the better it is and the more money you should be able to yield. After each fundraiser I'll let you know how much money you were able to raise - the figure will range depending on how good the fundraiser was and how much it cost to set the fundraiser up (note, however, that simply spending more on a fundraiser doesn't guarantee you more donations in the aftermath).
You will be able to run newspaper ads in the following cities: Brighton, Commerce City, Greeley, Johnstown, Northglenn and Thornton. (Of course, you could run the same ad in any combination of cities you wish.) It will cost $700 to run an ad in Johnstown, $5500 to run an ad in Brighton, $10000 to run an in Commerce City, $15000 to run an ad in Greeley, $5200 to run an ad in Northglenn, and $20000 in Thornton.
TV ads are less complicated; they cost $35000 each and are run across the district.
You can host rallies and town halls, but those cost too. To keep it simple, all rallies cost $6000 and all town halls cost $1500 to set up. You are limited to at most one town hall per round.
At the beginning of each new round, I'll announce how much each candidate raised in donations - it can be as little as $500 (that much is guaranteed per round no matter how badly you're doing) and as much as $40,000 (very hard to get that much or even close to it in a single round).
I'll also host a debate at some point in the primary. The debate will be 100% free for all candidates, and all candidates will be allowed to attend. For the GOP debate, Adams, Wazinger and Fujimori will all be invited; for the Democratic debate, Castillo-Tozer and Castillo. You could choose not to attend, but it will hurt your polling. More information on the debate later.
You will all also be allowed an unlimited number of press releases and statements; all are naturally free.
Also, as for endorsements, I'm not coming up with an endorsement bank, and you cannot simply claim endorsements, either. What will happen is whoever wants to could 'court' the endorsement of whoever they want. As I see approrpiate, I will award endorsements. It's unlikely anyone will get big fish endorsements like Trump's in the primaries, but smaller endorsments (e.g. from the governor or state legislators or congresspeople) will be quite frequent. Note that if someone courts an endorsement, that doesn't necessarily mean they get it. If multiple people court the same endorsement, one of them may be endorsed - but again, it's also possible no one is endorsed. I'd advise no one court Trump's endorsement or Biden's endorsement or the endorsement of any very well-known figure, as it will likely be futile and be a waste of time and resources. Some senators might give endorsements if coaxed, but no member of cabinet, president, vice-president or ex-president will.
The $300,000 primary stipend does not apply to Duffield and Elway. Duffield (Ishan) and Elway (NYE) will not be required to campaign right now. If they wish, they can campaign once the general election begins. The other rules - how much it costs to run ads and fundraisers and how much money you earn per round - do not matter. They will be given $450,000 - but note something very important: this is all the money they have for the whole campaign. They don't get any more once the general election begins. In contrast, the Democratic and Republican nominees will be provided by more money in the general election (and they will also receive consistent support from the DCCC and NRCC, respectively). More information on the general election aspect of the campaign will be provided after the primaries.
Also, you can have an internal poll - it costs $800. If you are a Democrat you can only ask for a poll of the Democratic Primary, if you are a Republican you can ask for a poll of the GOP primary, and if you are Elway or Duffield you can ask for a generic general election poll, or a poll of either the Democratic or Republican primaries (they will cost all $800 apiece).

Please post any questions or concerns you have in the interest thread (or, if you'd rather, you could just PM me).

That's all for now. I know it was a long read, but you can now refer to these rules whenever you want, and these rules will be important to refer to throughout the primaries. Anyone who wants to can begin playing/campaiging now!

YouTuber Jordan Adams announces bid for Colorado's 8th congressional district, and holds rally in Thornton

"First and foremost, I have to elaborate on why I am running for Congress in the first place. The Radical Left is destroying this great nation. They are forcing their outrageous beliefs on our children, from mandatory mask-wearing to Critical Race Theory. They are corrupting our institutions and turning our colleges into Marxist Propaganda Camps. Our children are being trained to hate America. Vaccines are being forced on our workers. Our jobs are being detached from our country and being shipped out to China. Meanwhile, the radical Left is stealing your money to give to their corporate donors. They also take your money as their own. The elites are trying to take our right to free speech, and they ban or fire anyone who doesn't comply with their woke agenda. Some even want to make it illegal to speak your mind. Meanwhile, Sleepy Joe betrayed thousands of American civilians in Afghanistan. A vote for Jordan Adams is a vote against the woke mob, meanwhile Keiko Fujimori would get creamed in an election, and believes that violent criminals are heroes. Walzinger would also get creamed in a general election, and holds various insane beliefs, such as the existence of aliens and ghosts"

Jordan Adams spends $5,000 on a fundraiser

Adams hosted a banquet for prospective donors in Greeley. He talked about how he would put America First. He discussed his harrowing experiences in the summer of 2020, and why he did it - to document what was going on, so the World sees it.

Adams netted $400, so his campaign account balance is now $294,400

John Elway announces Campaign for Congress

The politics of America are broken. Every day, we slide closer to civil war, as one party seeks to put a dictator in the White House, and the other party seeks to establish what is essentially American Socialism, a policy too extreme for voters here in Colorado. Compromise has been deemed impossible by both parties.

This atmosphere reminds me of the lead up to shortly before the Civil War. I'm running for Congress, to prevent a situation where the United States falls apart and we devolve into civil war and anarchy.

John Elway-Fundraisers

John Elway is holding two fundraisers this turn.

The first, is an online auction of Denver Broncos merchandise from Elway's playing days, with proceeds to benefit Elway's campaign. The cost of acquiring the merchandise was around $10,000, and Elway expects to at least triple the money invested in the auction for the campaign.

The second, to be held at the Windsor Community Recreation Center on December 13, in Windsor, Colorado, is a Quarterback skills drill done in the style of a prospective NFL scout for donors. The fundraiser will cost $3,000 to set up, donors will pay $5,000 to attend, and there are 50 slots available.

Before calculating receipts from donors, Elway now has $417,000 remaining.

John Elway is seeking to run a bipartisan, campaign, with support from national and in-district moderates.

As such, he is courting the endorsements of former Ohio Governor John Kasich, Former Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee, former Colorado Governor Bill Owens, former Representative Patricia Schroeder (CO-1) and retired Admiral William McRaven.

John Elway's auction is a success! He raises $34,700, a net of $24,700.
(The money raised in the fundraiser will be announced after the fact, sometime around the 12th or 13th of December in real life.)

John Elway interview with Scott Van Pelt

So, John, what inspired you to run for Congress?

Honestly, seeing Tommy Tuberville win in Alabama was my inspiration. If Tuberville, who in my opinion is a significantly worse coach than say...Gus Malzahn and someone I never would hire to coach the Broncos could win a Senate seat in Alabama, than I'm quite confident that I could win a House seat in Colorado.

But Alabama is a very Republican state, and Tuberville had President Trump's endorsement. You don't have either of things going for you. You aren't even running with one of the two major parties in American Politics!

I think a lot of voters are going to see that our system of politics is broken and needs fixing. If that doesn't happen, we could be in a civil war within the next decade, if not worse.


Well let's hope that doesn't happen. Now let's say you, against all odds, get elected to Congress. What's the first piece of legislation that you will introduce to the House of Representatives?

I'm going to introduce legislation to require the NCAA and it's member institutions to pay it's student-athletes a living wage. It's appalling that Division I schools make hundreds of millions of dollars from basketball and football, and yet not a dime goes to the student-athletes who make the success happen. I know that if I was a paid a wage for my services as an athlete equal to the cost of living at Stanford, and so were my fellow players, we might actually have been able to make a dent in tuition. Not all of us were on scholarship out there, and the cost of living on the West Coast isn't cheap.

Finances Update:

Elway - $471,700 (there was an accounting error from NYE which led to him thinking he had less than he actually did; also, this figure does not include the funds raised from his fundraiser, which will be added on November 12-13 our time)
Duffield - $450,000
Castillo-Tozer, Castillo, Fujimori and Walzinger - $300,000
Adams - $294,400

John Elway gives his opinions on the Major League Baseball Lockout

The fact of the matter is that the situation in baseball, like in most sports, is that owners and players are fighting each other without any regard to what the fans think or want, and that's bad for the sport, and for the sport's bottom line. This lockout is the kind of situation the Taft-Hartley act was designed for, when the situation between a union, and the ownership gets so bad, that work stops for whatever reason. I, as a former baseball player at Stanford, and draft pick of the New York Yankees, encourage President Biden to use the Taft-Hartley Act, to force the Union and the owners of Major League Baseball back to the negotiating table.

Graphic design is my passion
Campaign Schedule
December 7 to December 19
$300,000 on Hand

December 7: Ahead of announcing her campaign for congress, the candidate takes a leave of absence at the Fey and Co. Law Offices, effective Thursday and scheduled to end June 29, 2022, the day after the Democratic primary.
December 10: An announcement rally (-$6,000) is held in her home town (well, town of residence) of Thornton; the candidate pledges to hold five rallies in the top five municipalities in the district by the end of the year. Her staffers scramble to put together a list of municipalities in Colorado's 8th by population. The candidate's campaign manager tells her, when delivering the list,
December 11: Holds a small fundraiser in Greeley (-$4,500), courting donations from small donors ($50 per ticket, 250 tickets for sale) and angling for a $1,500 profit.
December 12: Rally in Evans (-$6,000)
December 13: Town hall in Sherrelwood (-$1,500)
December 14: Another fundraiser ($50x200), this time in Brighton (-$4,000) and hoping to turn a $1,000 profit.
December 15: Rally in Northglenn (-$6,000)
December 16: Meeting with State Rep. Brianna Titone (D-Jefferson) to discuss a potential endorsement, highlighting their shared support of Bernie Sanders and interest in bringing the local community together.
Note: I'm going to be honest: I have no goddamn clue how to court endorsements, so the honorable State Rep. is going to have to accept that I'm clueless and that I don't want to play the trans card. I also don't really know how to campaign, period, so just pretend that my campaigning is halfway decent, okay?
December 17: A third fundraiser ($50x400), returning to Thornton (-$6,100) in hopes of making a $2,000 profit.
December 18: Rally in Brighton (-$6,000)
December 19: Run newspaper ads in Johnstown (-$700) and Northglenn (-$5200)

Ending my turn with $254,000 on hand. I should probably tone it down a notch so I don't wind up completely broke in February and pray that I can coast through the rest of the primary, but whatever. Press releases will be posted as needed.

NOTE: The round has been extended until December 25 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. Those who'd like to divide their campaign schedule for this round more evenly might want to readjust their schedules accordingly.

Jordan Adams hosts dinner for potential donors, spending $15,000

The candidate discussed the pandemic. He compared COVID to the flu, and said all mandates should be ended. He said 'career politicians' such as Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsom were 'raging hypocrites' for their COVID hypocrisy. He said vaccination is a personal choice, and that he did get vaccinated.

While donors liked a lot of Adams' comments, they did seem to be slightly off-put by his rhetoric comparing COVID19 to the flu, with one donor openly questioning the comparison. When it came time to collect donations, Adams yielded less than he spent on the fundraiser, raising a mere $14,300, a loss of $700.

While donors liked a lot of Adams' comments, they did seem to be slightly off-put by his rhetoric comparing COVID19 to the flu, with one donor openly questioning the comparison. When it came time to collect donations, Adams yielded less than he spent on the fundraiser, raising a mere $14,300, a loss of $700.

Jordan Adams hosts breakfast for prospective donors, spending $15,000


Adams discussed the Biden administration. He said that Biden is betraying the American public as president. He blamed Biden for supply-chain issues and inflation. He also claimed that Biden disrespected 13 dead soldiers by repeatedly looking at his watch during the memorial ceremony. He also said that Biden left thousands of American civilians to die in Afghanistan at the hands of the Taliban.

While donors appreicate Adams' comments (an Iraq War veteran present at the event nods approvingly to many of Adams' statements), it seems a lot of them are no longer excited by the fundraisers; one loyal donor pulls Adams aside and suggests waiting a bit for the next fundraiser to maximize profits, as donors are currently reluctant to fork over many more donations after 3 consecutive fundraisers and will be more excited if Adams takes a break from fundraisers for a short time before holding the next (though he himself remains loyal and shells out $4,000, to support the conservative cause). Many attend but give smaler-than-usual donations. Unfortunately, this leads to Adams making just $12,000, on this fundraiser, a disappointing loss of $3,000 over the course of the event.
