5-way ramble 2008

[jokerman]

Assuming these posters were prominant American political figures.

Conservative Democratic Senator Virginian87 of Virginia manages to defeat a divided liberal field to win the Democratic nomination.  He chooses Governor Harry of Mississippi as his running mate but this isn't enough to please liberals.

His main rival for the nomination, Senator Akno of Maryland, defects with social liberals and forms a ticket with inner-NYC Congressman Boss Tweed of New York.

Dark horse candidate Governor Supersoulty of Pennsylvannia gains the Republican nomination and chooses Tennessee congressman htmldon as his running mate.  This ticket is popular with moderates and foreign policy neocons but libertarians and some social-conservatives are disgruntled.  Libertarian-conservatives are especially eager to have one of their own after 8 years of Bush.

Some of them rally behind Louisiana Senator BrandonH and former libertarian chair and current Georgia Congressman John Dibble for President and Vice-President respectively in a libertarian-conservative ticket.

Governor Joe Republic of Ohio and maverick Republican Congressman Walter Mitty of Massachusetts jump into the race as independents.

Please post maps.

Any predictions on who the House and Senate pick?

I'd try to convince Akno to pledge our electors after the election to the candidate who would publicly promise to fight for a few key things on out agenda, such as an Iraq pullout or universal health care.

While all are excellent candidates, I would definitely vote for Joe Republic/WalterMitty.

[Nym90]

Virginian/Harry.

None of them are horrible, however.

So...Virginian and me?
