2008 Election TL ( Sign Up/Discussion Thread)

Since I oddly haven't taken him yet, I'll be Mitt Romney.

[tmthforu94]

Kathleen Sebelius

Sebelius wasn't a candidate in 2008.

Anyway, I'll obviously play as Mike Huckabee. I know that my friend tmthforu94 (who is playing as Romney) hates him (very irrationally), so I have no choice but to be his arch-nemesis in this race So, I'll play as Mike.

I'm going to go ahead and get this out of the way now, Officepark....

Anything directed by me towards you and your character during this gameplay are not personal. You're still a great friend of mine regardless. I just wanted to clear the air because I know this will get ugly.

The game's pretty much over, no?

I mean, only 2 people left, and only 1 of them is actually "playing". By this rate, he'll win with 90% of the vote in November.

Pretty much, another somebody wants to sign up third party before August.

Why not just give True Conservative the Democratic slot, since tb75 isn't active? That way this can be the first timeline to actually make it to the election.

a third party would be better because Warner is already the nominee.

I'd gladly rejoin as Mike Huckabee and run third-party BUT seeing as tmthforu94 wanted to beat me above all (I was playing as Mike, after all ), and it was pretty nasty, I'm not sure I wish to redo all of that.

Believe me, I've experienced his ruthlessness myself. Besides, right now Huckabee is the only third party that could start out around 20%.

You should have been able to understand that Mitt Romney is so great he'd automatically defeat Huckabee in any contest. I was only putting you in line.
(In case there is an overreaction by True Conservative where he accuses me of a horrible hack, this was sarcastic)

Go for it. Looking at how this is going, that'll probably still put Warner in third place. As long as he doesn't win (he shouldn't) I'm fine, as I'll still have an advantage since I'll have more party support. Don't expect me to be nice, though, and I'll still attack you in character for running. You could run as Bloomberg, who'd probably do well.
