Endorse your primary candidates here!

[Joe Republic]

Since Lopez has dropped out of the race, can I transfer my two endorsement points that I gave her?

If so, I'd like to transfer them to Al's crazy "fight-the-anti-christ" character.

Lopez endorsed Taylor, thus giving him all remaining credits she had.  However, since 2 of them were from you, they can be transferred from Taylor to Finch after the current stage.

I give 3 to Helen Hudson
And I give 2 to Gov. Cooper

Cheers! Would appreciate that!

Withdrawn, endorsing AHDuke. He gets all my remaining tokens.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Good choice. I'm glad Jim Jessop's boyish good looks swayed you as well. Now if only the rest would follow suit.

[Franzl]

Afleitch
tmthforu94
Purple State
HappyWarrior

A point each to them.

Since Afleitch has dropped out, I woud like to transer that one endorsement point from him to Xahar.

Jessop is alright, but Hudson and Cooper fit my bi-sexuality

A suggestion: To involve those whoa aren't the nominees, perhaps there could be some third party candidates (weak, the goal would be to get a certain % of the popular vote) and/or allow former candidates to campaign for others in the general election.

For this particular primary and general campaign, there's only going to be two parties because I want to keep things as simple as possible.  But in the next game or two, I'll try and introduce a third party to spice things up.

Former candidates will be able to campaign for the eventual nominees in this general campaign, or at least provide some kind of beneficial effect, but I still need to work out the dynamics first.

Will you run games continuously or break it up a bit?

[Хahar 🤔]

It would be rather interesting if in the next game, points could be allocated to any primary at any time.

We'll see how my energy is doing after this one finishes.

Sorry, could you clarify that?

[Oakvale]

Since Lopez dropped out, I'd like to transfer my 2 endorsement points to Xiao.

[Sewer]

I drop out and give all my stuff to Al.

[Smid]

I think he means like Giuliani campaigning in Florida and ignoring the earlier races... as the game stands, there'd be nothing to gain by doing that.

Well, yes, there would have to be a mechanism to mke that worthwhile. Perhaps it's too much work.

[Lahbas]

I'm dropping out and endorsing Andy Jackson. I suggest others do the same.

Will I get a border sharing bonus in Arizona?

[AndrewTX]

I am dropping out, and endorsing tmthforu94.

[tmthforu94]

Thank you, Senator Kessler.

Vepres:

Do the Four Corners border (i.e. do I get the neighboring state bonus for Utah?) and are you doing the Maine/Massachusetts border you did in Risk?

Yes to the first, and no to the second, and thank you for reminding me to clarify that. 

NiK is going to get ridiculous regional bonuses.

HappyWarrior's bonuses will be even more ridiculous.

It's true that they will have an advantage, though I don't think it'll be "ridiculous".  What's more, other candidates have different kinds of advantages, which potentially spill over to the general election campaign as well.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The honerable Governor of the great state of South Dakota, Steve Spencer, regrets to inform the press that he is suspending his candidacy for President. He has yet to indicate any preferences with regards to an endorsement, but he did speak highly of fellow Governors Clay Cooper and Helen Hudson.

Thank you-
NC Yankee
Chairmen of Spencer for President 2009.

That's too bad. You would have made a good President.

[Joe Republic]

There haven't been any new endorsements from non-candidates since the last stage, but this post is simply to signify that any further endorsements will only be included for the stage after the imminent next one.
