[Spamage]

October 1824 Begins Now.

Polling
Andrew Jackson 36% (+5)
DeWitt Clinton 31% (+13)
John C. Calhoun 17% (+2)
John Randolph 16% (+6)

Endorsements:
John Adams, Charles C. Pinckney, and John Jay endorse DeWitt Clinton
William Jones and Henry Dearborn endorse Andrew Jackson
Aaron Burr endorses John C. Calhoun
Thomas Randolph Jr. and Henry Clay endorse John Randolph

Brief map summary: DeWitt Clinton leads in much of the Northeast by a large margin, he is also competitive in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana due to hi choice of William H. Harrison as VP. Andrew Jackson dominates much of the west and had potential in New York due to Martin Van Buren, although there are some New Yorkers branding him as a "traitor to western interests". John Randolph leads in Virginia and is competitive in Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, and North Carolina. John C. Calhoun is almost guaranteed the South Carolina Delegation's votes (as they ignore popular vote) and is competitive in Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

Note: If the Election goes to the House I'll give a few hours for candidates to drop out and endorse each other and then I'll take over and all changes will be simulated.
