Democratic Primary Campaign - Xahar wins!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

"...State Delegate Finch added that "the beat goes on and the train won't stop" before repeating "zee train! zee train!" over and over to a collection of confused journalists..."

[Joe Republic]

Odd way to win.

As I recall, Barack Obama clinched a majority of pledged delegates on the same day he lost the Kentucky primary, and then an overall majority of all delegates on the same day he lost South Dakota.

[Joe Republic]

STAGE 16

The credit balances of the candidates are as follows:

Franklin Finch	105
Xander Xiao	168

INDIANA

There are 72 delegates available.  These will be divided proportionally among candidates who achieve at least 15% of the vote here.


Home State Advantages

(Bonuses will be added to candidates' campaign token scores.)

No candidate receives a bonus.
`




NORTH CAROLINA

There are 115 delegates available.  These will be divided proportionally among candidates who achieve at least 15% of the vote here.


Home State Advantages

(Bonuses will be added to candidates' campaign token scores.)

• Franklin Finch (WV) has a 50% bonus.

`




N.B.  To avoid the risk of no candidates competing in certain states, I'm automatically entering your candidate into every contest with one campaign token each, which will not be deducted from your credit balance.  You will not be able to withdraw that token from the primary, and you will not be able to win it back for your credit balance after the primary.  This means that you still have the chance to win a primary even if you choose not to contest it, and therefore win a number of credits based on your margin of victory.

Please post your instructions for what tokens you would like to buy to compete in this stage.  You may edit your post as many times as you like if necessary.

The thread will be temporarily locked three days from now - or after all candidates have posted instructions - so that the results can be calculated.

In the mean time, please don't be afraid to ask any questions. 



Momentum Bonuses

(Bonuses will be added to candidates' campaign token scores.)

• Franklin Finch has a 44% bonus.
• Xander Xiao has a 56% bonus.

Ahem.  Ladies and Gentlemen, our primary system needs reform, and the Democratic Party should look to its illustrious traditions for answers.  Until the 1930s, 3/5ths of delegates had to be in agreement to select a candidate.  I feel that bringing back that 60% threshold would help guarantee that a consensus of Democratic voices are heard when the process to select candidates finishes.

84 in each.

seconded, even if I'm a Republican. Still I'd seconded it in the Republican primary as well

FINCH ATTACKS INTERVIEWER AS CAMERAS ROLL

Franklin Finch, the gadfly Presidential candidate from West Virginia, has been arrested after he apparently attempted to kill veteran CNN journalist Henry Davenport during a live broadcast of Davenport late last night.  State Delegate Finch appeared calm, lucid and rational for the bulk of the interview, but when asked by Davenport to "explain this nonsense about the Anti-Christ", Finch flew into a rage, accusing Davenport of "being an agent of the Anti-Christ", a "Demon" before shouting "now you die, Stavrogin" and repeatedly hitting Davenport with his chair, attempting to strangle him and grabbing Davenport's hairpiece and setting fire to it. Finch was then restrained by security and has since been arrested - and bailed.  Finch has released a statement making it clear that he will remain on the ballot "even if I go to jail" because "the issues are too great, the days are too dark and the Anti-Christ must be defeated. All who disagree will burn in Hell". Voters in Oregon and Kentucky go to the polls tomorrow.
