So who expects a right-wing surge at the midterms?

In the interest of honesty, and some may not appreciate me doing this but there's nothing to hide here, since PiT and Libertas seem to think this was all part of our evil plan, have a looksie at some of the PMs in my box:

We should take it very seriously. Now looks like Andrew is on a straight path to win, with a Populares sock machine

Honestly, our chances for winning this election are pretty low. Andrew/Duke will win the Populares, the RPP/DA, and most independents. There's really no way for us to beat that... The opposition will claim they need to be competitive to make the game interesting, but a moderate hero unity ticket is the epitome of boring, and is going to significantly harm Atlasia. Any reasonable person can see this, though if we said it in public we would merely be dismissed as hacks, etc.

If anyone wants to take one for the team and be a sacrificial lamb, that would be cool, since I feel like we should at least run a candidate. But it doesn't sound like PS or MB are interested in running.

Our best hope is to get Barnes elected this week, and then try to get at least one (maybe even both) of the seats that will be opened in November when Andrew & Duke take office.

I more or less agree with bgwah's analysis - AndrewCT is, probably, going to coast to victory, and even a strong JCP candidate would likely lose to him.

So I agree we should, so to speak, sit this one out - although I believe we should run some candidate, just so it doesn't look like we're giving up. As for who should be our sacrificial lamb, I have no idea. Hell, I'd do it myself, but I think everyone would be able to see that it would be a joke candidacy in my case.

Still, if we do sit one this out I think we'll be in a strong position for the next election - let's concede this one, at least privately, and focus on getting Barnes et al in the Senate.

You know, there is a (small) chance that we could actually win this thing.  The POP/RPP combined does not outnumber the JCP by a huge amount.  We would need some independent/other votes to prevail.

Yes, we are expecting to lose, but I'm playing to win anyways. Any and all help is appreciated!

Is that from the monthly JCP officers meeting?
