I got a question for Kal. Why do you want to be VP again? I thought you disliked the position. If elected, will you make it more interesting? Like have hookers on the Senate floor?

"Escorts". Show a little respect for the trade, will you?

Hookers was showing support. Apparently, you've never seen the kind of gals he brought in the past when I was in the Governors mansion.

Oh, position is still a bucket of warm piss, my friend, but how can I stand aside when Atlasia needs rock'n'rolling? And you know Napoleon and me will rock y'all.

I promise to provide your office with an escorts.

Thank you all for coming out tonight, I really appreciate it. As you may have concluded, I am announcing my candidacy for the Presidency of Atlasia. You may or may not know me. I have served in office continuously since I was first elected in February 2011, as a surprise write in to the Northeast Assembly. I have served as Speaker of the Northeast Assembly, two productive terms as the Northeast's Senator, and now proudly as her Governor.

I am seeking the Presidency because for too long we have heard that Atlasia is dying, that she has lost her luster, that this nation is not what it used to be. I say- there's too much talk, and it is time for some action. I cannot, with good conscience, sit idly on the sidelines at this critical juncture in our history, with our future hanging in the balance. And no doubt, there will be some radical, but thoroughly ineffective, proposals pitched from various corners. What I think this game needs, though, is a little drama, a lot of passion, and all-around good fun.

This election must be weighed not on PM scores and personal squabbles, but on the record of dedication to effective public policy and positive reform.
Over the course of my political career I have worked closely with members of many parties and adherents to various ideologies, and will use this experience effectively to work with the Senate as president. I authored and fought hard to pass a law to safely bring our troops home from the Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya Wars. I've passed bills to increase the global competitiveness of our education system, and to invest in a modernized infrastructure network. I've fought for drug law reform, and to keep the government out of our personal lives. I voted to shorten the work-week to create jobs, and I voted to lower taxes in accordance with the Polnut plan. In the Northeast, I've worked tirelessly for constitutional and institutional reform, and did the same in the Senate, and will do the same as President. Even after being out of the Senate for two months, my bill to make our national health care system more sustainable and cost-effective appears likely to pass!

To make this all possible, I have selected former Vice President Kalwejt to serve in that capacity once more. He is experienced and energetic, two qualities that I feel are needed to put some passion back into the game. Together, we will look at Vice Presidential reforms and continue making the bold proposals you have seen from us in the past. I look forward to inspiring debates, not just over the course of the campaign, but in the Senate and across Atlasia after being elected. Thank you for coming out tonight and for your dedicated support, I won't let you down in this election.

I'm excited about this, guys, and I especially hope that this campaign revitalizes our party.

You have the chance to appeal to both Labor Party members and a sizable number of independents, particularly if the Labor establishment goes Tweedist.

Thank you Nix. I hope you are right. Smiley

Some have questioned my decision to announce my VP pick right off the bat, but I have done so for good reasons. Kalwejt will be an essential part of my administration and I think that deserves to be reflected over the course I'd the campaign. I also prefer that the focus is on the policies we propose rather than who I may or may not be running with.

"I believe that it is important the mainstream left unite around one ticket in this election. There is too much at stake, and the far-right is stronger now than ever. We can not underestimate the need to appeal to swing voters, as the last election demonstrated."

Could you please elaborate on what type of foreign policy you'd pursue (and also, how quickly after winning will you fire me)?

Sure. Foreign policy is an area I have involved myself in since first elected to the Senate. As President, I will pursue a foreign policy that expands trade with other nations and opens markets. I would also like to prioritize environmental issues within the larger sphere of foreign policy, and work with other world leaders to that goal. My administration would go to war as a last resort measure only in extreme circumstances when we feel we have exhausted our other options. I would emphasize intelligence operations and collaborative international diplomacy. I can not say with certainty who I would ask to remain from President Polnut's Cabinet, but the things I will be looking for are activity,  experience, confidence, and flexibility.

guess I'll have to cut off part of your bourgeois-left (second time I'm using that term in the span two posts: good times) if I'm going to win.  cut it off with something sharp.

You avoided the second part of my question brilliantly Wink

Also, can you comment specifically on the recently posted FPR?

Napoleon, Tweed, stop bickering and commit to working together with each other and with the Snowstalker campaign and my Labor Party to make sure the right doesn't steamroll the left, bourgeois or otherwise, when we are divided.

I, for one, will not be preferencing the Tweed ticket despite my personal respect for bgwah. Atlasia needs a President, not a cult of personality. The Tweed campaign is not serious and certainly not serious about working with or helping to build any sort of progressive movement within Atlasia, as evidenced by his neglect in voting for anyone other than himself. It almost seems, to me, that Tweed could be considered the Whigs' best friend, should he succeed in dividing the left. I have already offered Snowstalker my second preference.

Then we need to get Tweed to offer Snowstalker his second preference and you his third. Do you really think that's immensely likely? I'm not asking you to preference Tweed second. I'm asking you only to preference him above the Whig candidate, and once polling starts we may discover that even that won't be necessary. We need to stop going around in a circle blaming one another for divisions on the left. I plan to tell Tweed this as well.

"I can't express how disappointed I am with the turn out in this election. It is unlikely we will even reach 80 votes. In my first election as a voter, there were over 100 votes. In plain speak, this means we have lost nearly (or even more than) 20% of our players. That, to me, is unacceptable. A special thank you to those who did make it out to vote."

Atlasia already has free trade with many, many nations. It isn't as if I would act as an enabler to exploitative labor practices.

Endorsed. You'll have my 1st preference, personally.

Though I do see shadows of a President Clarence on the horizon. Ugh.
