A little background for me...

After Governor Mike Naso's comfortable Gubernatorial re-election in Ohio in 2006, he decides to run for President in 2008. He chooses John McCain as his VP candidate, and to his surprise...he accepts. Naso/McCain goes for the gold!

Background doesn't really do anything, nor will it be displayed anywhere.

(form thingy)

Excellent, now we have equal R's and D's.

I'll still keep registration open until a day goes by with no registrations, however.

edit- to Communify

[Gabu]

I was thinking about being some sort of uber commie, that could be fun.. but I think that would somewhat ruin the spirit of the championship. If it's ok though, I'd love to be commie!

There is no restriction on what you can be, as long as you keep your attribute points' total at or under 25.

[Bacon King]

Awesome! in that case, let me edit it.

[Gabu]

Okay, post here when you're done.

[Bacon King]

I've been done for a while now, but I just now saw your post.

[Sam Spade]

Awesome! in that case, let me edit it.

A strict Communist platform would be in favor of unlimited abortions (at least as it has played out in Russia, China)

Okay, everyone up to Ilikeverin has been entered.

We've currently got 11 Democrats and 11 Republicans, so this has turned out very well.

I dunno... I counted 12 Democrats, 10 Republicans. One of us is mistaken.

Oops, I accidentally stuck Bacon King in the Republican Party because that's where he was before the edit.

Never mind, you're right.

Er, want to be a Republican communist, Bacon King?  It would make things easier.

[ilikeverin]

Wait... isn't that a redundancy?

You were in the Democratic Party?  I didn't even notice; I had you in the Republican Party all along.

By the way, your attribute points still only add up to 24; you can allot one more.

Hate to say it, but the championship has already started, and I can't think of a way to slot anyone else in in a way that would be fair to the other competitors.

There'll probably be another one that comes up later, though, as this is not the first; you should keep an eye out and see if you can get into that one.
