Very Long and Extensive 2008 Primary!

[Akno21]

The first round will be conducted as follows. Each person may vote in either the Democratic or Republican primary. The first round is "fundraising". Each voter has 10 moneys, that they can spread however they like among any candidates they like. The top 10 candidates from each side move on. Closes on Tuesday morning.

An example, my vote, for the Democratic side.

I give 3 moneys to Al Gore
I give 3 moneys to Evan Bayh
I give 2 moneys to Phil Bredesen
I give 2 moneys to Bill Richardson

[Akno21]

Hillary is a one-monniker

[Akno21]

Any edited votes will not count, because you may want to change it later to make sure your guy gets in.

[Akno21]

I will give 10 monies Rudy Giuliani  5 monies to Condi Rice, 3 monies to and McCain

I think you've just allocated 8 monies too many Josh

We could attempt to divine voter intent by dividing by 1.8 and rounding.
That's 6 to Giuliani, 3 to Rice, 2 to McCain.
Darn it. Still 11. Giuliani was rounded up by most, thence I'd say Giuliani gets 5.

We'll use that unless Josh submits a new ballot.
Skybridge, the Wolfy one won't be counted, and you will be recorded as giving 6 to Fiengold and 4 to Clark unless you say otherwise.

C'mon! I left a little smiley face afterwards to show I wasn't serious about Wolfowitz.

I figured that, i just wanted to be sure.

[Akno21]

5 monies to Bayh, 5 for Sanford.

Sorry Bob, you can't participate in both primaries.

Here's a question wouldn't it make sense if the 1 monie I gave to the Stop Newt Campaign took away half a monie from Newt's total score?

This is fundraising. Unless you plan on stealing money from Gingrich... How about this. You can steal 1 money from Gingrich, but then you will go to jail and not be able to vote in the rest of the primary?

[Akno21]

At this point, the leaders are

Evan Bayh 40
Mark Warner 20
John Edwards 10
Joe Biden 8
Russ Feingold 7
Wesley Clark 6
Bill Richardson 6
Al Gore 5
Phil Bredesen 2
Barack Obama 2

Jeb Bush 20
Newt Gingrich 13
Mitt Romney 13
Rick Santorum 12
Bill Frist 12
Rudy Guliani 8
Bill Owens 7
Condi Rice 6
Tom Ridge 5
George Voinovich 5

Sanford is now in for the GOP.

What was the point of the monies part? Just to create a list for the primary?

Yes.

[Akno21]

I give

5 moneys to Harry Reid
4 moneys to Evan Bayh
1 money to Howard Dean

That part is over. We are now in the first primary. Vote for one of the nine candidates that were listed a few posts back.
