If/when NCYankee conducts a poll on any of these races, will you count them as credible for the competitiveness rating, or whatever you call it?

That could contribute to the rating. You are probably the favorite for the Midwest Governorship, but given the unpredictability of the region, I am not willing to make a definite rating on that.

Yeah, that is true.

Though GMantis has only 20% approval. But then again, ilikevering, Jas, and Tronheim will probably vote for a crazed weasel or something.

[DownWithTheLeft]

I think it's a little early to say that the JCP will have two holds. While I certainly hope that's the case (as both a member of the party and a strong supporter of Marokai and Fritz), and do think that we can do it, you really never know with these elections. I'd put it at 1 DA, 1 RPP, 1 JCP, 2 toss-ups, myself.

For that matter can you really count a party that had 9 voters in the special elections and is running 3 candidates to have a lock at all?  Certainly I will do my best to push either PurpleState, Franzl, or both across the finish line, but nothing is a guarantee.  I may actually be willling to switch RPP first prefs to voting for one of the two because it would be a travesty to see Afleitch as the DA member that is elected

Hmmm...is Afleitch a DAINO?

We certainly like afleitch in our ranks.

[Vepres]

DAINO (dah-ee-noh) fun to say, a little awkward too.

     Trying to spin down expectations so you can celebrate it as a huge victory when your party holds both seats?

Nonsense.  Though I would put my own estimate at 1 DA, 1 RPP, 3 toss-up.

Gubernatorial Approval Ratings Released
by South Park Conservative

   The results of the National Weekly Atlasian's latest poll have been released. Governor Inks of the Mideast is the most popular with a 100% approval rating. Next is freshman Dirty South Governor Daniel Adams, who despite having a likely primary challenge for his re-election, has an 80% approval rating. Retiring Pacific Governor CultureKing will leave office with a 75% approval rating. Governor AndrewCT of the Northeast possesses a 67% approval rating. At the bottom of the list is Governor GMantis of the Midwest, with a mediocre 20% approval rating, which is great news for Lt. Governor Vepres, who will be running for Midwest Governor in the next election.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Can all this non-sense about Daniel Adams having a primary challenger be quashed?  I am not running unless Daniel Adams does not.  I just want it known that I want to be the DS's next governor because last time I didn't make it clear and I missed out

[afleitch]

because it would be a travesty to see Afleitch as the DA member that is elected

How so

I believe Fmr. Governor Duke has expressed interest in running regardless of whether Daniel Adams runs.

A primary would be interesting considering that the general election probably won't be.

What your quote is messed up.  It would be a travesty in my mind because you harbor this incredible disdain for myself and for my party that I simply do not understand.  For someone who claims to be so in tune with conservatism, you want to bash me at any chance you get and honestly this is a game and not playing the right way has its consequences.

[Хahar 🤔]

Maybe because you're kind of a horrible person?

I hate your party so much I voted for it in the last Presidential election...

[DownWithTheLeft]

All that means is you hate the JCP more, which would, for once, actually make sense.  However, you did endorse the more moderate JCPer Fritz over myself.  A bad decision on your part

Yes, Fritz is indeed more moderate than you which is why I endorsed him. Besides what good would it do the Senate to have a then recently inactive poster who was removed from his seat try to get back in again at the earliest possible opportunity? The fact you lost has allowed you to actually get back into the game.

Yea, yea, we know you are such an economic conservative, but yet you refused to endorse me.  That's alright we'll see what happens in August

Considering you voted for an income tax rise I will take no lectures from you on economic conservatism You also said nothing about the economy or taxation on your campaign thread.

And you've failed to back me in any race I've recently run and infact have gone out the way to oppose me. Remember all those times you endorsed JCP liberals over me? Did economic conservatism matter to you then? You did nothing to earn my vote.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Well, I wonder why I never endorsed you.  You have had qualms about my personal attitudes in the game which is different than qualms over policy.  I endorsed you for president, which is more than you can say about endorsing me.

Like I said, I will do my best to pull the other 2 DA candidates over the finish line instead of you even if it includes hurting one of the RPP members.

[AndrewTX]

srsly.. its stupid actions like these that are making me sick of Atlasia.

[afleitch]

Like I said, I will do my best to pull the other 2 DA candidates over the finish line instead of you even if it includes hurting one of the RPP members.

Which confirms that is it completely personal if your prepared to sacrifice your own side for the sake of feeling good about yourself.

No, I'm prepared to sacrifice something to prove that principles still matter in this game.  You cannot continually bad mouth myself and my party and inhibit progress and think that you will be rewarded for it.

What does that even mean? Badmouthing the RPP - I had issues with it's leadership and it's secrecy early on. I've been in the Senate for three months and endorsed your guy for President and worked with your guys in the Senate to pass legislation. Inhibit progress? Who's progress or what progress am I inhibiting?

[SPC]

Please keep the personal attacks out of my newspaper! DWTL, I would hope that you are not seriously considering harming RowanBrandon's or my campaigns in order to fulfill your personal grievances.

4 Out of 5 Regions Support Assemblies
by South Park Conservative

   In the National Weekly Atlasian's latest poll, it was determined that four out of Atlasia's five regions overwhemingly support having an elected assembly for the regional legislature. As the only region to currently have one, the Mideast has unanimous support for their elected assembly. Next is the Dirty South with 83%, whose amendment to have an assembly narrowly failed last week, but has good chances of passing next month. The Midwest and Northeast both have two-thirds support for elected assemblies. The only region to unanimously reject an elected assembly is the Pacific region, which has a long tradition of a citizen legislature.
