Atlas Dem Primary

[© tweed]

I am undecided, but if you are undecided, pelase don't cast a vote yet, wait until you do decide.

[CHRISTOPHER MICHAE]

I have decided to endorse Myself/My Candidacy for President. I know I can galvanize my party and bring more to the center- individuals of every inclination, the more each party can join together in the Spirit and Desire for achievement, well, it's that much more we can all offer to the American people from whatever walk of life or income level. I Thank My Supporters, each and every one of you. On behalf of My Running Mate  [GWBFan] and Myself. We Will, We Will, ROCK YOU! God Bless US Everyone.

Is there anything to stop Republicans from voting in our primary, btw?

[7,052,770]

I picked nym90, the center of the 3, not an ultraliberal, not two almost-republicans.

[Gustaf]

Wow. So far Nym90 and CM are head to head. Can a candidate drop out and pledge his delegates (votes) to someone else?

[Gustaf]

I am undecided, but if you are undecided, pelase don't cast a vote yet, wait until you do decide.

I thought you went out in favour of CM? Or have you just not posted that here yet?

I thought Nym90 would be the "official" candidate, he seems to be the most mainstream Democrat (not mainstream in America, mind you, but within the party).

"Not mainstream in America, mind you."

Exactly.  And a Nym90 supporter says it right.  How could we nominate someone who isn't even mainstream in America?  Someone who isn't in the mainstream America can't win in the general election.

[Nym90]

Nym90: I most definitely can win. We need to excite the liberal base of the party as well as appeal to swing voters. If Christopher Michael and GWBfan are the Democratic nominees, we risk a revolt from the left wing of the party to a 3rd party candidate.

Interviewer: Nym90, if Christopher Michael and GWBfan are nominated, would you consider running as a 3rd party candidate or endorsing a 3rd party candidacy?

Nym90: Well, it would be a difficult decision for me, but I pledge that I will not run as a 3rd party candidate.

Interviewer: But would you endorse a 3rd party?

Nym90: I have no further comment on this subject at this time.

[Michael Z]

I must say I was highly impressed with Nym90's recent speeches on the disadvantages of trickledown economics. Truly, here is a man whose basic principles reflect that of the Democratic Party.

Given CM's controversial choice to adopt a staunch conservative as his running mate, and Migrendel's Kucinich-ness, the conclusion is simple: CM would lead us to victory but split the party. Migrendel would keep the party together, but risk a landslide defeat.

I therefore believe that only one man can unite the party and lead us to victory. That man is Nym90.

CNN Breaking News

CNN:  Just moments ago, we heard from Democratic Vice Presidential candidate, GWBFan, in a campaign speech.  I'm getting word that we're going to take you back to Atlanta where it seems another announcement is to be made from the candidate.

GWBFan:  Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement to make.  It troubles me to do this, but I feel I must.  You see, I thought this party was ready to take back the White House, to rescue the country from tyranny.  It pains me now to see that I was wrong.

Of the three candidates running, I believe there is only one able to win the White House and save us from an evil Republican regime.  That candidate is now getting stomped on by his opponents for choosing me as his runningmate, simply because of my past.

Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, I will drop out.

I will not seek the office of the vice presidency of the United States.

I will remain a Democrat and I do hope we win in the general election, just months away.

My plans of touring the South have been temporarily delayed due to my decision to drop out.

I thank you all for coming.

Well, this leaves the VP slot open.

I thought I was a good AFDNC chairman.  It turns out I'm just as good as Terry McAullife.

Charleston, WV

CNN: WV-UMW leader and Democratic State Senator, Al Realpolitik is still refusing to endorse a candidate in the Democratic Primary.
We're cutting live to the Press Conference:

Al Realpolitik: I refuse to endorse a candidate until I find out which one of them is ready to repeal that Taft-Hartley nonsence.
Failing that, I will choose the candidate who offers the best deal for both Appalachia and for my members.

[Nym90]

I strongly endorse pro-labor policies. I am in favor of a higher minimum wage, repeal of all laws making strikes illegal, fairer trade, and I opposed Taft-Hartley.

Are you against the President's repeal of the steel tariffs?

[Nym90]

While we have obvious ideological differences, I have nothing but the highest respect for GWBfan. Our party, the Democratic party, is a big tent. We welcome everyone from all parts of the political spectrum. GWBfan clearly respects and supports the same values as I and the rest of our fellow Democrats, and we shouldn't allow our differences on a few issues to tear us apart as a party. If I am the Democratic nominee for President, I will reach out to moderates, independents, and conservatives for their support, and I sincerely hope that I can earn GWBfan's endorsement.

What about steel tariffs?

[Nym90]

I oppose an outright repeal of the steel tariffs, as I believe that our steel industry needs some protection against competition from foreign countries in which steel can be produced more cheaply due to lower labor standards. However, I would favor an individual review of each country upon which the tariffs have been imposed to determine whether they have comparable labor standards to ours, and I would favor dropping the tariffs for countries that have comparable labor standards (i.e., minimum wage, union protection for workers, etc.) I support fair trade; I do not support unrestricted free trade, but I also do not support protectionism.

Hell yeah!  You're sounding like a presidential candidate now.  All the answers perfectly scripted.

As a child of a man who worked for 38 years as an Iron Ore Worker in the Iron Range in the Upper Penninsula, I not only understand the plight of our workers,  but my father had to go on strike for 4 months, although we never went hungry, it was very distressing on my family. This is not a 'fantasy'story line, I really lived it, in fact, through 2 strikes. I am for much higher Steel Tariffs and an Executive Order repealing many parts of NAFTA. So, those of you who are wavering back and forth: Stay with a winning ticket. Mine. I will be announcing my choice for Vice President of the United States shortly, with much anguish and regret, I accept GWBFan's resignation. He is an individual of strong courage and personal Faith in His GOD. GOD BLESS YOU GWBFan.

[RhodeRage]

If I may throw my hat in as well...

Personally, I would like to know where the candidates stand on foreign relations and American intervention abroad.

[Nym90]

I believe that the United States should get involved in a war if one of the following conditions is true:

The United States or any other country has been attacked by another country (or, by a terrorist organization that is being given support by a national government in the form of money, weaponry, or any other kind of official support, in which case the attacks shall be considered for all intents and purposes to have been launched by that country).
Clear and convincing evidence exists that another country is preparing or otherwise clearly possesses the means to launch, and the will to execute, an attack against the United States or another country (or that a terrorist organization receiving support from that government as outlined above is preparing to do so).
