2014: Midterms, Presidential Contests and beyond

[Jerseyrules]

Neat, Senator Herman Cain!

[Jerseyrules]

This was an abnormally busy week for me...more over the weekend.

Looking forward to it

I'm very saddened because suspension of thread. Miles, you made a hard and good work, mapping counties and districts. Only thing that I have to consider is that you forgot was California gubernatorial election. I hope to you get back on the track to talk about new Congress, off-year elections and 2016 primaries.

EDIT: just saw the last post!  Good to hear!

[Jerseyrules]

I love the thought of your AZ race; "Do you really want to have a Flake as governor?"

[Jerseyrules]

Great update! Glad that Juneau won!

I'm not sure though if Brown would run again in 2014...he would be 76 years old by then.

Brown hinted in the 2010 debate that if he won he would seek reelection

Rand Paul / Marco Rubio 2016!

[Jerseyrules]

In this thread, Paul could throw hat in if things go enough bad to assure him re-election in Kentucky. I'd like to see George Clooney in this thread too, challenging Paul or trying to get Boxer's seat.

Where is Clooney politically by the way?

[Jerseyrules]

I would have updated this on time, but its exam time and I have quite a bit on my plate. I'm still working on a update!

Take as long as you want, but I expect regular updates come summer

Thanks, Miles

Please, please, please let Gohmert be the nominee!

Do you two hate the GOP that much?  

Is it too late to have Haley Barbour jump in?

Yeah...he's already endorsed Jindal.

Yes.

It's not like there's much difference anymore

[Jerseyrules]

Rand Paul!

[Jerseyrules]

Yeah, I think the absence of Rand Paul is big. I also think Gary Johnson would run if Rand did not.

But Rand would be much better at energizing the libertarian movement, I contend better than his father.

So, just to be clear (I'm unaware of how the runoff system works), is the runoff when the GE would be scheduled in other states, or is the blanket primary the night of elections in other states, with the runoff scheduled for an amount of time afterwards if needed?

In LA federal elections, the jungle primary is usually in November (like all the other states), but the runoff is usually at some point in December.

Thanks.  I assume this is what CA has done now.  I honestly don't even remember reading about the switch in the news or anything, or when/how/why we switched to it.  Anyways, great work as always man

Go Warner and Rubio!

[Jerseyrules]

What happened to Linda Lingle ITTL?

[Jerseyrules]

What happened to Linda Lingle ITTL?

Nothing much...

I made Djou Governor though.

I know (and I appreciate this), but did she even run for senate?

I don't think so.

Akaka was reelected in 2012 against Ed Case, who changed parties. If she ran now I still don't think she'd win; even at age 98, I think Inouye would still be unbeatable.

Someone's gotta do it.

[Jerseyrules]

Who's Gohmert again?

[Jerseyrules]

Who's Gohmert again?

A very, very conservative congressman from Texas.

He was elected as a result of the Delaymander.

He's best known for making comments like this and this.

So in the chocolate box of republican candidates, Gohmert is the chocolate with too many nuts, and a shot of bourbon inside.  Way too strong.

[Jerseyrules]

Keep it coming, please! 

[Jerseyrules]

That sucks.  Looking forward to it

[Jerseyrules]

Cool
