I'm a bit confused by Henry Clay (The High Priest of Protectionism and Internal Improvements) endorsing conservative John Randolph... Clay would IRL sooner endorse DeWitt Clinton or John C. Calhoun (This being before Calhoun turned against internal improvements)... So, if I could have some sort of explanation on that one, consider me a satisfied election watcher lol.
Didn't realize I did that until after I posted Although endorsements don't really do much (besides generally show how a campaign an it's momentum is doing) I regret making that mistake.
Well, just saying, in that era, endorsements meant a great deal more than today. Clay's influence could swing certain states, especially his western power base, in real life. I'm not complaining about it and it is your game after all, but still was curious as it wouldn't have happened at all given Randolph's hostility to Clay's faction historically.
Actually, now that I look at it, William H. Crawford would also never have endorsed Calhoun as the two despised each other. I mean, taken directly from Eugene Roseboom's book on Presidential elections "
Crawford hated Calhoun". But I suppose a personal relationship could probably take a back seat.
Anyway, hope pointing that out actually helps things in the future, considering I want to play in 1828
