6 D, 3R, 5 Tossups

I don't think TX would be a tossup. And I would be certain of the Dem primary in MN, since I'm the only Dem there.

It isn't, I said the winner of the R nomination would win.

It looks like I rigged this thing.

i originally had CA as my avatar, I changed to Massachusetts as it was the home state of my idol, JFK....

You said 8. was Agcat v Harry, and you said 8 would be a tossup.

Okay, I'll renumber tem to avoid confusion.

You mean you'll number them correctly now, so as to aviod confusion? :)

Yeah, I did it now.

Whhops!  Made that post lengthy.

if we have no candidate for CA, i may just have to switch back then, and let migrendel stand alone for MA

switch back.

done, CA really should be my home state anyway, it is the only one i have ever been to and my family lives there, some from there.

Looks good!

you gonna change the main post to reflect this?

by that i mean, are you going to change it so migrendel is the only one on MA and i am listed as CA

I changed it.

k, good good, you reckon we will actually have these elections then?

I still don't really get this... :(

You don't have to, just beat Jravnsbo.

lol @ miami

OK! :)

Should we just appoint a senate?

I'm amazed at the bossy, currupt and all around unhealthy attitude the AFDNC chairman takes toward his job.

darn you soulty!!!! did you have to post, i was just about to comment on the lack of posting by the GOC!!!

btw, if you are referring to my changing BACK to CA, i only changed to MA yesterday on a whim....

I have already stated I have no interest in the Senate.

Thank you.  Please stay to your own party affairs.

oh go on youngrepub!!!

Right. Its not like I'd win New York anyway.

yes, but it's still fun :)

Okay, in that case, you have no Republican nominee and you concede the seat.  Oh well.

Okay so are we doing this if so I'll edit my post in the news thread(thought we were not and the title senator was just something you could pick up.)

anyway....

I will represent my party, the republican party with honor and if I am elected Senator I will listen to my heart as well as the voices of the people of this great state.

I believe at the end of the day we have a good chance in California!

Wait wait wait, why am I going up against Opebo? Shouldn't it be me and Beet?

Because beet is a Dem.

WildCard is running for Senate in CA. I'm Governor, remember?

Yes PD even endoresed me so I'm a shoe in for the nom.!

You'll win, too. There are more CA Repubs on this site than CA dems. Republicans dominate CA in all areas on this site.

Thanks for your encouragement PD.

I will say I have a good chance at winning this seat... But, We must never take anything for granted. I do believe I am the best person to represent the people of California, because at the end of the day thats  all its about isn't it? The people and I've said it once and I shall say it again my two goals as senator will be to listen to my heart and to the people.

I'll stay with the affairs of America, thank you very much Mr. Chairman.  And if the affairs of your party interfere with the affairs of this nation, then you can expect me to comment on them.

You're welcome. You'll make a fine Senator. :)

I think we might need a new AFDNC chairman *cough*. Ahem..

woah woah WildCard, getting a little ahead of ourselves aren't we? there are a few of us dem californians around....

That's a load of crap and you know it.  Stay away from my party.

I am just saying I have a good chance. Its important to keep positive on the campigne trail.

we haven't even decided if we are going to hold these elections though ;)

Well even if we don't I'll pick up the title of senator so this all kind of fits in with what I decided. If we do this I'm sure it will be a good, close, race between two fine candidates..

agreed, if it is held, may the best man win, if not, well each state has two members of the senate any way ;)

Indeed. :)

Actually, this is my reason for questioning the purpose of this thread...there is no point unless there is actaully 3 people from a state all wanting to be governors.

governors? surely you mean senators?

Yeah...I do...I was thinking of governors, since if there's 3 people from a state, 1 can be governor and the other 2 senators.

ah, ok :)

Did Zachman actually express an interest in this?

Ntot hat I know of :(

<my handlers let me out for the day :-p>

Looks like I'm running uncontested.

Who votes in each election?

We haven't decided yet.

This should be obvious. Only people that live in that state can vote for their Senator. If there's only one, then it looks like they've won already.

I think we should assign party delegates based of the registration in the state.  For example, if a state is 6/10 R and 4/10 D, we have 6 Republicans and 4 Dems vote for that senate seat.

I disagree. I think that only the people that live in that state should vote for their Senator. This goes for all other state elections that you people may hold.

How would that work for Idaho?  Mr. Fresh and I are the only two members from Idaho (that I know of) and we would be running against each other.

we need an Iowan Republican, dammit :(

Actually, scrap that. I'm automatically elected, woohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually isn't John an Iowa Republican? :)

How many Californians we got? me and dreamer for the dems and pd and wildcard for the reps, sounds like a tie to me

we could just choose a slate of 20 senators and have everyone agree to it.

Everyone who wants to be a senator will automatically become one, and we'll hold elections if there are more than 3 people wanting to be senators...both senatorial seats from CA are vacant, if PD wants to be a senator he'll have to give up his gubernatorial seat, leaving that to someone else. And so on.

And then would have to campaign against me or wild card would....

I agree. But don't think for a minute that I'm giving up my gubernatorial seat. You guys took the presidency from me, I won't let you get close. Just leave me be and everything will be fine. :)

Actually, you took yourself out of the race for the presidency because of academic reasons.

Yeah, yeah I know. But you won't take the Governorship from me. Not even over my dead body. To WildCard: If one of them kills me or I for some reason die, you must abandon your quest for the Senate and take my place as Governor. :)

Lol...don't worry, I think the 2 CA Dems will be content with running for senatorial positions. :)

im running for senator in NJ

Good.

Wow! I am going to win New York senate seat! Have to call mamma!
