Atlas Election 2012: ELECTION DAY

[Jayhawker]

I hope future elections won't necessarily be 50/50, just so that it is more real.

I don't really call this match 50/50

Well, in my defense, I won my primary before Xahar did, and Al still hasn't endorsed anyone. If he choses to endorse Xahar, his numbers will go up slightly, and if endorses me, my numbers will go up slightly. So it's pretty normal that I'd be ahead in this situation.

[Fritz]

I endorse Xiao

[Lief]

I'll endorse whoever the candidate I supported, Mr. Finch, endorses in the unending battle against the forces of the Anti-Christ.

[Lahbas]

I endorse Helen Hudson

[Alexander Hamilton]

I endorse Xiao, obviously

[Vepres]

I endorse Hudson.

[Andy Jackson]

I endorse Helen Hudson.

[A-Bob]

When are we going to have the whole forum over VP picks? Is that coming later?

[Joe Republic]

When are we going to have the whole forum over VP picks? Is that coming later?

Sorry, but I don't understand your first sentence.

[Scam of God]

I endorse Xiao.

[Senator Ben]

I endorse Xiao.

[Jayhawker]

When are we going to have the whole forum over VP picks? Is that coming later?

Sorry, but I don't understand your first sentence.

I think he wants to know when Xiao and I will be choosing our Vice Presidential picks, and when a thread will be opened for candidates for VP.

[Joe Republic]

I think he wants to know when Xiao and I will be choosing our Vice Presidential picks, and when a thread will be opened for candidates for VP.

I see.  The first question is covered in the first three paragraphs of this post.  I'll open a thread for people to sign up as potential running mates in the next few days; probably in Week 2 of March.

[Joe Republic]

Okay, I've received instructions that neither candidate wishes to receive federal funding.  This means that both will be able to hold fundraisers that can produce up to 5 credits each time, and each endorsement from fellow forum members will be worth 5 credits as well.

The Republican National Convention will be held in Detroit, Michigan, and the Democratic National Convention will be held in Cleveland, Ohio.

I endorse Tmthforu94.

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

I endorse Hudson.

[Joe Republic]

I was supposed to have given Xiao a wildcard to deal with in the last stage, but I forgot.

Hudson was due one next stage as well, but I'll skip that one too out of fairness.  This works out quite well for me, because I haven't actually prepared them yet.

[Jbrase]

I endorse Hudson.

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Fmr Candidate Spencer approaches the Stage


Ladies and gentleman, our nation faces an inflection point and we must choose which path we are too take. Let me be clear, both candidates will bring fundamental change. The debate is not one of change versus that status quo but which direction we can go. We can go down the path to the left and we have been down that road before, down the road that fails instead of the road that works. Or we can go down the road to the right, down the path of proven solutions and common sense ideas to solve real problems not attempt to create some meaningless utopia dreamed up by some Hollywood liberal, that never works in reality. With this in mind, it is with great pleasure that I endorse Helen Hudson for President of the United States,

Thanks and God Bless!!

[Sibboleth]

...Mr Davenport has agreed not to press charges. We now go live to War, West Virgina where Mr Finch is due to make a statement...

Finch: first, I would like to say that I am pleased that I won't be prosecuted for what was really just a minor dispute brought on by, er... um...

looks down at his notes

Finch: ...sleep dep... er... riv...ashion. Yes. Sleep depperivashion. I also hope that Mr Davenport likes his new car...

Finch's lawyer suddenly coughs violently

Finch: ...which I certainly did not buy as a gift for Mr Davenport as a way to avoid prosecution.

Pause

Finch: ...second... I have an announcement to make. Govenor Hudson wears lipstick. Whores wear lipstick, therefore Govenor Hudson is a whore. Govenor Hudson wears red lipstick. Therefore, she is a scarlet whore. As in the Scarlet Whore of Babylon. This means that Governor Hudson is a tool of the Antichrist! Death to the Antichrist! Death! Death! Death! Death! Death! Death!

Finch continues in this vein for about five minutes

Finch: ...this being true... I think that I have no choice, no choice whatsoever, but to endorse Senator Zow. People! The War against the Antichrist will be a long one, but there shall be victory in the End!

[RIP Robert H Bork]

I am endorsing tmthforu94.

[Purple State]

I will endorse Xiao.
