Mhm. Here we are. 1988. You should know the premise of this. I gotta leave the house soon, so detailed descriptions aren't available. For the present, check the Nominations thread.


The 1988 Democratic Primaries
The Democratic primaries were in many ways a near-complete re-hashing of the previous election's. There was the heir apparent and incumbent Evan Bayh facing down the charismatic and energetic Jesse Jackson. The states fell, in many places, the same way as they had four years before as well. However, unlike 1984, Bayh was able to emerge with a majority of delegates thanks to Simon and Biden before the convention began.

Red - President Birch E. Bayh, Jr. of Indiana
Blue - Reverend Jesse L. Jackson of Illinois
Green - Senator Joseph R. Biden of Delaware
Yellow - Senator Paul Simon of Illinois

The 1988 Republican Primaries
A royal romping for Jack Kemp, greeted as a "conquering hero" by much of the party and seen as the only possible candidate to unite the party for a reasonable chance at victory in 1988.

Blue - Congressman Jack F. Kemp of New York
Green - Senator Robert S. Dole of Kansas

Birch/Cuomo.

The votes are visible; this should be fun.

Kind of disappointed that Kemp/Paul didn't unite for a Repulitarian ticket, but nevertheless Kemp. The Libertarian Party are too extreme for me (especially if there's a tolerable Pub), even though I do like Paul.

Oh come on, that old blithering nutjob McCarthy and that random nobody Fulani are going to cost Bayh the election? What a sick joke.

Liberals, remember that McCarthy referred to Ronald Reagan as "the best president ever". And also remember that, if you don't like the two-party system, you also have Ross Perot and Ralph Nader, the latter of whom I am really considering voting for.

And Tony, remember that Paul is also costing Kemp votes. And, to round out the candidates, who voted for Duke?

Knowing this forum, I'm surprised Paul isn't actually leading Kemp. Tongue

Paul probably would be if it Pubs had nominated Bush or someone else inferior, but Kemp is one of the best.

Birch/Cuomo.  Evan Bayh was one of my favorite Senators, and I assume Birch was good too.  I'm not too crazy about Cuomo because of his support of partial-birth abortion though.

Evan Bayh was nothing like his father, sadly.
