The Porcupine

This thread shall be used to map our region by region polling as well as reporting on the state of the race.  

Our reporters
Xahar
Kalwejt
Wormyguy kinda sorta I think


Marokai - orange; Tmth - Blue

The Northeast
Leans towards tmth

The Mideast
No Polling has been done for this region yet.

The Imperial Dominion of the South
Solidly in tmth's column

The Midwest
No polling has been done for this region yet.

The Pacific
The 1st poll, conducted before all candidates had announced shows this region solidly backing Mr. Blue. However this may change as another native son, and current governor of the Pacific will be included in the next poll.

Marokai Blue (UDL)
Twice Attorney General, a Senator, PPT, Vice President, and Supreme Court Justice, Marokai Blue has attempted to bring activity and accomplishment to each office he has held. Not only setting substantial precedent as a Justice, Marokai was also instrumental in the left-wing resurgence in 2009, and went on to duo with Purple State to successfully push for ratification of a brand new Constitution in 2010. Running with Purple State again on a swapped ticket, he seeks to do equally substantial things again.

Oakvale (JCP)
A relative newcomer to Atlasia, Oakvale was recently elected to his second term as Governor of the Pacific. As Governor, he steered major structural reforms through the legislature, revitalising a region that had long been stagnant, and, in the first significant change to the Pacific's legislature ever, succesfully introduced Atlasia's only bicamarel regional assembly.

With a fresh perspective on Atlasia's fundamental problems, Oakvale, along with his running mate Snowguy716, seek to give the game's institutions the radical shakeup they need.

Tmthforu94 (RPP)
Atlasia has moved to the left in recent years, with 4 of the last 5 Presidents being liberal. Tmthforu94, the only non-liberal candidate currently in the race, hopes to break that trend in this election cycle. During his time in the Mideast Assembly, Atlasian Senate, and Mideast Governor's Mansion, Tmthforu94 has a strong record of bi-partisanship and moderation, and he hopes to bring those same qualities to the White House.

Campaign Update
     
This race has gotten much more interesting over the past 24 hours as now there will be 5 competing tickets, one of which is now confirmed to be the incumbent president seeking re-election. Can he survive his challenge's that appear to be from all sides of the spectrum?

Are there primaries, or do you just declare?

Also, is there no POP candidate in the race yet? Just wondering.

Primaries are exclusively voluntary. We haven't had one since the end of the Progressive Primaries of 2008 and 2009.

     I'm pretty sure there have been no primaries in any Presidential election after June 2008.

Why are you using the past tense?

Because Ben said he wouldn't run in a UDL primary.  Though I suppose it's possible that Marokai/Purple State will get the UDL endorsement and Ben will have to run as an independent.

Breaking News

One of the more controversial candidates, Yates, has gone missing. He is presumed dead. Whether or not his name will remain on the ballot is unknown. sources tell us that the police are currently looking at Sam Spade, Hashemite, Gustaf, and even Yates himself are possible suspects. Right now the police are telling us this is likely a case of vigilante justice.

In other news..
Senator Dallasfan65 is rumored to be planning a run of some sort, whether for President or someone's running mate is unknown, more at 11.

Campaign Update
Its has been announced that Senator Dallasfan65 will in fact be running for Vice President of Atlasia and Governor Tmthforu94's running mate.

Now lets have a look at the February Senate elections.

Northeast
Nothing official yet but there are reports of RowanBrandon and Phil considering bids to pick off the incumbent Senator Eraserhead. Eraserhead picked up the seat in an upset victory last October that led to Dallasfan65 losing his senate seat.

Mideast
No word form there yet.

Imperial Dominion of the South
With 0% of precincts reporting we project incumbent NC Yankee has won re-election.

Midwest
After the incumbent announced he would not seek re-election, Kalwejt aka 'Kaljew" appears to be the only one in the race thus far. Can he win against the onslaught of write-ins he is sure to face?

Pacific
Normally we would project Bgwah the winner before the election even started but with the left split in the region, the possibility of a viable challenge is open.

Well, I may be in an extremely tough race against write-ins, but since Verin likes me, I cannot lose.

Editorial: On the UDL Nomination

The Union of the Democratic Left was founded upon several ideas. One of them was the idea that a strong, vibrant party could be created that would not be personalist like all the rest were to a greater or lesser extent. Certainly, the Union is not today personalist. There is no leader sending down a presidential ticket from on high, as has been done in the past. However, it is still a party. It is not the Atlasian Unity Bloc or the Democratic Alliance, where any member can run for any office he pleases. Several members made it quite clear to me that they had only joined with that assurance. Therefore, the will of the party must be respected. All may run, but when a nominee is decided, we must all come together behind him, if we are to be a party that can compete with the rest. The Union is the promise of a new way of politics in Atlasia; it must not be ripped apart from within.

More Poling Fun

Working with A-Bob's polling, we can add the Mideast to Tmth's column. Not as strong as his support in the IDS, he is still pulling in 50% of the vote which is a comfortable lead considering the size of the race.

I don't really see the point of doing those regional polls for presidency since this is a national election. Maybe doing these polls about the upcoming Senate races would be more interesting.
