"ACCOUNTING ERROR" COSTS HUDSON $10M

by Tina Bupkis The Federal Elections Commission has reported "irregularities" in Helen Hudson's presidential campaign fund, and has accordingly issued a fine of $10 million by way of correction.

The fine is seen as a significant blow to the Hudson camp, which has recently made strides to close the gap with the rival Xiao campaign.

N.B. $10 million equates to 10 credits.

[Joe Republic]

I'm going to retire the use of the newspaper format for presenting the wild card event each week.  It was a nice idea, but it's become fairly obvious that I'm running out of energy and creativity for it.

From now on, I'll just state a brief description of what the wild card was, and its effect.

The 'bump' reduced both Hudson and the undecideds by 1% each, and increased Xiao by less than 1%... the rounding of the numbers didn't show it.

EDIT:I endorse Hudson.

I hereby donate my available magic beans to Mr Xiao.

WILD CARD

A controversial attack ad campaign launched by a conservative 527 group against Xander Xiao has caused a dip in his poll numbers, to the benefit of the Hudson campaign, as well as that of the third party candidates.  It has also seen a small rise in the number of undecided voters.

RUNNING MATE ANNOUNCEMENTS

In this stage, our two presidential candidates will announce their chosen candidates for the vice presidency.

As a general reminder, both tickets will be granted a free barnstorming activity and free state visits in the running mate's home state, both of which I'll conduct at the end of this stage directly after the announcements.

[Jensen]

I'll make an endorsement after the running-mates are announced.
