I'm glad you started it ;)

I would like to play as Mitch Daniels

Uh, I'll play! :)

Republican, of course. And I choose...Marsha Blackburn. Just to give myself a bit of a challenge. :)

The following primary schedule was randomly selected-

January - New Jersey, Illinois, Virginia, Colorado
February - New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Minnesota, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, Texas, Nebraska, Arizona, Wyoming, Hawaii, California
March - DC, Massachuessetts, Alabama, South Carolina, Michigan, Iowa, North Dakota, Utah, Idaho, Alaska, Oregon
April - Vermont, Connecticut, Missouri, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Georgia, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Montana, Nevada
May - Maine, New York, Delaware, North Carolina, Mississippii, Ohio, Kansas, New Mexico, Washington
June - Rhode Island, Maryland, West Virginia, Louisiana

Awesome. It's nice to have a bit of a challenge when it comes to the primary schedule :D

Do we have to be the member of a major party?

I would prefer so. As of right now no third parties until after the primaries.

How about an independent?

Who?

I'm still flipping through Forbes 400, I'll edit this in a bit.

EDIT:
I choose Jeffrey Bezos.

I'd like to sign on as Republican Haley Barbour...

Ok, if you really want to.

Alright, I suppose I will try Ron Paul for the challenge :P

Ok.

I really want to.  Just remember, if Ross Perot can do it, I can too.

What do I have to do?  I'll choose Hillary Clinton.

I'll sign on as Mitt Romney.

i will be Mike Huckabee

Does nobody want to Obama?

I'll try and get someone to join. If not, I may switch over myself, for the sake of the game. Unless someone else wants to...Yelnoc...:P

I'll take Obama.

My hero! :D

I'm going to start up the game tomorrow morning. If anyone wants to join please do.

I'd want to play as Newt Gingrich but just don't have the time :(

if u have time to start playing within the next month, I'd be glad to join you. :) 

I'm going to suggest that we go slow on the endorsements until October. It's really unrealistic that there are this many endorsements (myself to blame as well) in January.

You're probably right. I think we're all a party to this craziness.

my idea is that with my next one I'll decide all the endorsers myself because that woulf nd up much easier and realistic. 90% of the posts in this is just getting endorsed by nybody you can possibly find. As far as endorsements go, this tl is gone in terms of organization and realism.

You have no idea what it's like from my position getting  >100 new endorsements requests a day, and have to searh for each one individually.

You can save a file on your computer with the endorsements. It makes things a bit easier, IMO.

So that we may have a competitive race with both parties running an active candidate, I will be dropping out as Marsha Blackburn and will run as Jeff Bingaman.

When does the damned election start? I am tired of waiting :P

Have you gone inactive?

I believe that we are still in March or April of 2011. The election doesn't start until quite awhile. Part of these Interactive TL's is the waiting.

Can I still signup? :D

In such a case, I'd like to be Jesse Ventura :D

Ben has informed me he has no interest continuing on as Obama. Pending ElectoralJews approval, would you be interested in that?

Could I be Evan Bayh instead? I wouldn't be a good enough Obama impersonator :(

It's up to ElectoralJew. Personally, I'm Jeff Bingaman, so we'll be competing against each other.

Bring it on :)

yeah
