Democratic Primary 2008

[Хahar 🤔]

Me endorsing Porce? It's the "logical" thing, but I hope that someday somebody will write a TL taking into account the utter implausibility of that statement.

I'm announcing my candidacy.

[War on Want]

Michigan-
After the most major primary and Caucaus are over, it looks as if a major battle across the state between Governor HappyWarrior and Senator Sensei is about to begin. Even though the state doesn't count it, everyone's name is on the ballot.

Michigan Results:
Senator Sensei- 27%, 0 Delegates
Governor HappyWarrior- 26%
Senator Porce- 18%
Governor Frodo- 15%
Senator BenCostine- 14%

Senator Sensei barely wins Michigan because of his support in Detroit and in many rural, and suburban areas outside of Detroit, while Porce does well in college areas, and HappyWarrior racks up impressive vote totals in the UP. BenCostine makes a surprise showing in the Calvinist rural areas of the western part of Michigan, while Frodo performs about the same everywhere across the state.

Nevada:
In Nevada, it looks like a major three way race is starting between Porce, HappyWarrior, and Sensei. Sensei has the support of minority workers in Las Vegas, while HappyWarrior is winning in the rural areas, and among White workers, while Porce is doing well in college areas and some of the suburban areas.

Nevada Results:
Senator Sensei- 32%, 9 Delegates
Senator Porce- 30%, 9 Delegates
Governor Happy Warrior- 25%, 7 Delegates
Governor Frodo- 7%
Senator BenCostine- 6%

Sensei barely won because of his support among ethnic Workers, regardless of the Culinary Union endorsing HappyWarrior. Porce made a suprise showing in Reno and gains much momentum, while Frodo and BenCostine would have performed better if it was not a caucaus.

Total Delegates:
Senator Sensei- 30 Delegates
Governor HappyWarrior- 24 Delegates
Governor Frodo- 17 Delegates
Senator Porce- 16 Delegates
Senator BenCostine- 7 Delegates

South Carolina-
In South Carolina major momentum is given to Porce, who used to be polling the single digits, and Sensei, who is solidifying is support among African-Americans, and the coastal areas, however the more Southern, Conservative, White Democrats are very much split up between Governor HappyWarrior and Frodo and Ben Costine.

South Carolina Results:
Senator Sensei- 30%, 14 Delegates
Governor HappyWarrior- 23%, 11 Delegates
Senator BenCostine- 20%, 10 Delegates
Governor Frodo- 20%, 10 Delegates
Senator Proce- 7%,

Sensei wins the state purely based on his large support among African-Americans and his support among many coastal residents. He fails among most of the Southern Whites, which the great majority of are picked up by BenCostine and Frodo. HappyWarrior does do well in the Appalachians, though, and is very popular among many rural African-Americans. BenCostine and Frodo both perform well in most rural areas. Porce only does well in Charleston, Columbia and some college areas.

Total Delegate Count:
Senator Sensei- 44 Delegates
Governor Happy Warrior- 34 Delegates
Governor Frodo- 27 Delegates
Senator BenCostine- 17 Delegates
Senator Porce- 16 Delegates

I'm not in this again. Damn it

I'm going to have to try my hand at the convention.

[HappyWarrior]

How did I lose Nevada?  I think thats the early state where I'd perform best to it's major unionism.

I'm going to have to try my hand at the convention.

And when, after 14 ballots, the convention is still deadlocked, the Democrats trun to some Scottish guy whom nobody has ever heard of!

Florida:
After a major win in South Carolina, Senator Sensei looks to mop up in Florida but recieves a decent threat from Senator BenCostine in northern Florida, where he looks to pick up much of the Dixiecrat vote.

Florida Results:
Senator Sensei 50%
Senator Porce 15%
Senator BenCostine 15%
Governor HappyWarrior 12%
Governor Frodo 8%

Senator Sensei sweeps every county in Florida except for 6 northern Floridian counties that vote for Senator BenCostine. After BenCostine's good performance in northern Florida, it seems that he has succesfully won the status as the Southern candidate.

I actually have a really Jewish name that might negate that.

Finally for Super Tuesday.......

Super Tuesday:
During the next week of campaigning, Governor Frodo offically endorsed Senator BenCostine and solidified Costine's status as the Southern candidate. Over the next few days the polls shifted heavily all across the country, as almost every Super Tuesday in the country became a battle ground state between at least two candidates.

Alabama Results:
Senator BenCostine 35%
Senator Sensei 31%
Governor HappyWarrior 28%
Senator Porce 6%

In Alabama, Costine sucessfully won the state because of his large support among Southern, working class whites, although Governor HappyWarrior did win a large chunk of the more industrial workers. Sensei only performed well because of his support among African Americans, which much of was taken by HappyWarrior among rural African-Americans.

Alaska:
Senator Porce 45%
Senator Sensei 33%
Governor HappyWarrior 17%
Senator BenCostine 7%

Porce wins Alaska only based on his support from college students and Latte Liberals and because Alaska was a caucaus alowing his heavily organised supporters to carry the state for him.

Arizona:
Senator Sensei 37%
Senator Porce 30%
Governor HappyWarrior 24%
Senator BenCostine 9%

Senator Sensei only wins Arizona because of his support among Hispanics and some Tuscon and Phoenix suburbs, while Porce carries most of innercity Phoenix, colleges and latte liberal areas, and HappyWarrior carries the few working class areas in Arizona and some more settled in Hispanics who like his Populist message.

Arkansas:
Senator BenCostine 38%
Governor HappyWarrior 30%
Senator Sensei 26%
Senator Porce 6%

Senator BenCostine wins Arkansas because of his status as the only Southern candidate remaining and his views are very popular in rural areas of the state, while HappyWarrior does well with more working class, traditonally Democratic whites, and Sensei takes most of the African-American population.

California:
Senator Sensei 39%
Senator Porce 35%
Governor HappyWarrior 21%
Senator BenCostine 5%

Porce comes very close to winning the state based on his support in Northern California, Latte Liberal areas, Hollywood and parts of Orange county but fails because of Sensei's strong support among hispanics. HappyWarrior only does well among Unionised families, and among some Hispanics.

Colorado:
Senator Porce 46%
Senator Sensei 36%
Governor HappyWarrior 16%
Governor BenCostine 2%

Senator Porce wins Colorado yet again because it has a caucaus and his organization in the western state is very high. He would have done better but Sensei trounces him among Hispanics and HappyWarrior takes away some Working Class votes from him.

More to come later.....

Delaware:
Governor HappyWarrior 39%
Senator Sensei 35%
Senator Porce 18%
Senator BenCostine 8%

Happy Warrior carries Delaware, mainly because many of his reforms have actually had affect on Delaware, because of the commerce conducted between the states.

Georgia:
Senator Sensei 31%
Senator BenCostine 30%
Governor HappyWarrior 29%
Senator Porce 10%

Sensei just barely carries Georgia based on his high amounts of support among African-Americans, and suburbia around Atlanta. He performs well only in a few other cities such as Savanah and Augusta, while HappyWarrior carries the Appalachian region and BenCostine carries most southern, rural areas.

Idaho:
Senator Porce 37%
Senator Sensei 29%
Governor HappyWarrior 25%
Senator BenCostine 9%

Porce wins Idaho because it is a caucaus and his supporters around Boise, Coeur D' Alene and Moscow turn out heavily to give him the victory.

Illinois:
Governor HappyWarrior 35%
Senator Sensei 34%
Governor BenCostine 16%
Senator Porce 15%

HappyWarrior barely carries the state based on his status among Mid-Western rural Democrats and sweeps almost the whole state around Chicago except for the deep "south" of Illinois which Costine carries. Sensei only carries Cook County, and Porce only performs well in College areas and Chicago.

[HappyWarrior]

Shazaam!  I'm on the rebound!

[War on Want]

Shazaam!  I'm on the rebound!

On the bright side for you, you and Sensei are the only ones competing in almost every state, while BenCostine and Porce are kinda "niche" candidates in a way because Porce really only does well out West, and in some more liberal states, and BenCostine really only does well in the South.
