  8. Speech: (8). Shock, dread, abhorrence. The Democratic faithful don't even know how to respond to this. Just as someone starts to think of speaking up, any possible thoughts are drowned out by The Prophet's faithful, cheering and hollering for George McGovern to retake America. These cultists are going to be a hard battle for the establishment, for they'll stop at nothing to get their way. Speech: (6). Reactions to Cuomo's opening speech are mixed, though more find it favorable than unfavorable. Cuomo's speech is able to set a somber tone over the convention, only further entrenching the feelings of the Democratic Establishment. Some may find it a bit strange, but this is the most emotion that the Governor has shown over the campaign, a look of despair, a plea for sense to return to the party that he holds dear. Speech: (10!). As the beat fades, and Senator Moynihan stares into the crowd, longing, nigh on begging for a Democratic Party that chooses sanity, he drops a simple, soft "Thank you." But nobody heard it, for by the time he had time to gather his thoughts, they were being drowned out by a chorus of cheers coming from the audience. Through cheers, it was easy to read relief. Cuomo being the main anti-McGovern contender still has all sorts of folks worried that he won't be able to follow through, but Moynihan coming up here and providing his best speech of the campaign, a rap which uplifts his party to fall behind him, hope may just be returning to New York City. Speech: (1!). Jim Traficant made a lot of headway between the end of the primaries and the convention, but he seems to have dampened his spark with this speech. A harkening back to the New Deal coalition falls on deaf ears. Most Democrats don't see this as the right time to be looking at the past, with 12 years of Republican rule and a party in disarray. They want something fresh, something new, someone who can finally show up and offer the Democratic Party a way forward, and this isn't what Traficant was trying to sell. Speech: (1!). You hate to see it. Kerrey was never on board for giving a huge amazing speech, he's proven many times on the campaign trail that his charisma is just not there. But this speech just absolutely went and blew the entire thing up. Straight up saying that the guy who 45% of primary voters supported "deserves to be looked at in a mental institution" is just a non-starter even for a majority of McGovern haters. You've essentially gone and said the quiet part out loud, this is what you were saying behind closed doors and it was working, but you can't just go throw it to the entire world! Chaos is descending upon the Kerrey campaign, can he salvage anything? Speech: (2). The problem here, for Walter Mondale, is that nobody in the party really knows what his game is. He dropped out very early just to back Bob Casey just as his campaign fell apart. A few old Minnesota hardliners still like Mondale, but he's going to have a very hard time convincing much of anyone to back him.
  9. As the 1992 Democratic Convention convenes, anticipation crackles in the air as George McGovern, the seasoned veteran, emerges as the favored contender. Yet, within the party's ranks, dissent brews fiercely, spearheaded by the formidable duo of Mario Cuomo and Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Their dissent, however, is not the only challenge facing McGovern's bid for nomination. James Traficant and Bob Kerrey ignite insurgent campaigns, threatening to disrupt the established order, while Walter Mondale, a familiar face from past political battles, steps back into the fray. Amidst this cacophony of ambition and rivalry, the stage is set for a convention that promises to be both electrifying and contentious, as the Democratic Party grapples with its identity and future direction. It is time for our candidates' opening speeches. All 6 candidates ( @The Blood @Fbarbarossa @Pringles @Cenzonico @Hestia @wendell willkie fan) will have 48 hours to curate their speeches, after which we will officially get to the first ballot. They will have the option to give the speech themselves, or offer a supporter to do it for them.
  10. William Knowland will run for House Majority Leader James L Buckley will run for House Majority Whip
  11. Ann Richards: 7. Governor Richards' calls find receptive audiences throughout the South, but many figures are tentative on making a move before the convention. Still, Moynihan is in the back of the minds of many Southern figures. Anti-McGovern Pledge: 4. The pledge itself doesn't really make too many waves nationally, for multiple reasons. First off, McGovern fans as well as folks who think that McGovern earned the nomination fair and square think that it's wrong to single out the choice of the people. Second off, the majority of anti-McGovern voters were already assuming your support. AIPAC: 2. Moynihan comes across as a bit aggressive during this call and AIPAC leaders are a bit miffed by his town. They feel as if they're the largest reason for his insurgent campaign's success with their delivery of New York, and were planning on helping anyways. So Moynihan's entitlement towards their support was off-putting. Overall: -2, not the reception that Moynihan had been hoping for, maybe he's been making his intentions too clear for too long? Gaslight: 8. To the surprise of Democratic strategists everywhere, this works? All across the nation, there are confused calls coming through from delegates about whether or not McGovern is the nominee, and in the chaos some folks are just defaulting to him as the voters' choice. Gatekeep: 1! "So, like, that was a threat right?" All across the county Cuomo delegates are furious at such dirty tactics by the McGovern, they thought he was above violence! So now, Cuomo delegates are furiously writing in their local newspapers to try and dissuade any and all McGovern support with evidence of his violent tactics, and they're going to go to the convention twice as hard. Girlboss: 10! Eleanor rules the streets of New York with an iron fist, overthrowing David Dinkins and declaring herself the Mayor of New New York. All across the cities, Italians find themselves fallen into hiding or suffering retribution from Eleanor. All non-Italians are released from New York City jails to make room for the Spaghettios and Eleanor finds about a secret league of Italians who live underneath the city, ordering the All-American Brigades to take out the troglodytic trash. Rest in Power: 2. Upon arriving at the family dwelling of non-Prophet delegate Marcy Kaptur's home, her husband is found dead, stabbed in the attic of their family home while she was away in DC. Because McGovern's influence is near its lowest levels in Ohio, he has no power over their police force and Kaptur calls for Simpson's arrest. The headlines shake the nation, but he's able to get out on bail and there doesn't seem to be much evidence that he did it. Still, Simpson now has a slight issue with his reputation. Racist: 7. Many are still skeptical, but McGovern is able to win over a handful of dumb southern delegates who believe his pivot. Overall: +3. Cuomo delegates are enraged and OJ Simpson is having some issues, but overall McGovern is in a good spot heading into New York City, which is now ruled by his wife. Great Plains: 10! Bob Kerrey's meetings with Plains leadership go over surprisingly well. Most of them find themselves with very similar views to Bob Kerrey and they're happy to start whipping their fellow statesmen in his favor as the Plains' answer to McGovern and Cuomo. Mental Eval: 9. Kerrey's floating of the mental eval plan has done well enough to have it be put out into the world. Backroom Dems find themselves wondering if they could even get McGovern to agree, or if they could force him to take his mental eval and maybe blow up his campaign. McGovern: 3. The anti-McGovern pledge continues to be really ineffective, since everybody already knows how everyone feels about McGovern and you're just upsetting the fence-sitters. Overall: +7. Much better momentum for Kerrey heading into the convention than at any time on the campaign trail. Pledge: 9. Traficant is the first candidate to sign the Anti-McGovern pledge who it actually works out for. Traficant has recently come out against McGovern but he'd been a bit on the fence during most of the campaign, so this actually does make some sort of news. Ohio: 6. The Ohio DNC is a bit split on this matter. They do recognize that Traficant has won the majority of their state's votes and delegates but the circumstances in which is happened are hard to get past. Nevertheless they're glad that Traficant took them rather than McGovern, so most are still content with helping him. Minnesota: 7. A large portion of the Minnesota delegation, lead by Paul Wellstone, are huge fans of the Traficant brand and are happy to parade around making their support of him clear. No endorsement comes through, but a significant portion of the state's delegation is willing to fight for Traficant on the convention floor. Tell-all: 7. The pathos appeal comes across as pretty obvious to most viewers, but it still gets a couple folks on Traficant's side. AFL-CIO: 7. Traficant is a good candidate for garnering union support, and the country's largest union is receptive to him. They're not fully on board but willing to give him a shot if the opportunity arises. Overall: +11. Traficant was able to do some incredible pre-convention meddling to get folks on board with his campaign. He won't be doing to well on the first ballot, but after that? He might have something cooking. News: 9. This comes across well, Mondale is an oldhead figure in the Democratic Party, and having him feel that he needs to return just to stop McGovern is telling for lots of folks. Carter: 3. Carter would prefer to stay out of the race at this time and let it play its natural course. Casey: 4. Mondale doesn't get much of a response from Casey, who seems to be just holding back after his mess of a campaign. Overall: +1. An acceptable pre-convention period for Mondale. Air of Strength: 5. Sure, this is a good thing to do, but everyone's just confused about why now? You've been on the ropes for months and some would argue the only reason you're here is because Moynihan did well enough to save your ass. Bosses: 9. The party bosses are here to support Cuomo through and through. He may not have paid off with dividends so far but damn it if they aren't going to push him through if it's the last thing they do. Blocs: 1! Cuomo's strongest voting blocs were minorities and urbanites, but holding these events for support just pisses them both off. They're out here saying "why are you talking to us, you need to be getting new bases of support, we aren't enough!" This strategy causes questions about Cuomo's competency to rise amongst his core base. Schmooze: 10! Who are these different officials? Idk but they fucking adored Cuomo's schmoozing. Sons: 2. Andrew Cuomo's shenanigans go too far and he ends up being arrested for public indecency when he goes streaking outside of Eleanor McGovern's mayoral house. You're gonna have to hope that McGovern notices the "prisoners can be ransomed" notification at some point. Overall: +1. Somehow despite multiple disasters for Cuomo this doesn't go horribly.
  12. Would something like this suffice? (Purple b/c independent. Each pol would have their background color as their party's color.)
  13. Politician Conversions: Target Scott Jensen @Arkansas Progressive Kingmakers William L Armstrong will take on Donald Brotzman (CO)
  14. Relocations: Robert List: NV -> ID (Alt) George Pataki: NY -> ND (Over -> Under) Ideologies: None
  15. Socialism Is When The Government Does Stuff.mp4 Love Bernie, but man has he fucked up an entire generation of "socialists" understanding of what that word actually means.
  16. A call for events! Before the Democratic Convention officially begins on July 13th, but there still remains a month and a half until then! For this turn, the remaining candidates will have 5 events each (and a 72-hour turn) before the convention. We are switching to a momentum system, where the outcomes of events will add to or subtract from your overall convention momentum, which begins at 0 for all candidates. This turn's 5 events for remaining candidates stays freeform, but should generally be focused on shoring up support for the convention, whether that be popular support, support amongst state delegations, or support amongst Dem Leadership (or any other support you can think of). @The Blood @Fbarbarossa @Cenzonico Candidates who've suspended their campaigns (@wendell willkie fan @Sean F Kennedy @10centjimmy @WVProgressive @Hestia @Pringles) will have their first chance to re-enter the race, if they wish, this turn. If you wish to wait until the convention to pop back in, that is fine, there will be opportunities as well then. If you unsuspend your campaign this turn, you will have 3 events, rather than 5, as much of their time will be taken up just starting to get their campaigns back off the ground. With all this said, the intermission turn begins now!
  17. Primary Season is over, so where does George Bush stand? With a roll of (27/100), things haven't been going very well. After the acquittal of LAPD officers in the Rodney King trial, Los Angeles saw riots a plenty, and President Bush was seen as weak and indecisive by the American people after he failed to send in national troops or law enforcement, which saw the scale of the riots begin to balloon. All in all, the riots ended with 116 deaths, 4,413 injuries, and ~22,000 arrests. Buchanan's seemingly faltering campaign was fully revived in the month of May by the events that transposed in Los Angeles, with many on the GOP's right-flank calling for Bush to call a full crackdown or resign. The President isn't helped, either, by the economy suffering from the earlier recession. Unemployment estimates put it at 9.1%, and many workers are starting to get fed up with the President's lack of action to fix the economy. Bush continued to win primaries, generally, by a solid but harsh margin, with Buchanan often reaching the 35% mark. This was true, until a strong grassroots movement lead Buchanan to his third win of the primaries in Idaho. This bolstered him into the final weeks of the campaign, with Bush's perceived weakness and the effects of the LA Riots leading Buchanan to a shocking near-win in California, reaching 47% of the vote there. In all, President Bush was able to obtain the necessary delegates to win the primary, but Bush Republicans all across the nation fear the impacts of Buchanan's insurgent campaign, as well as the idea that Buchanan or someone similar could seek a third party campaign option. And Perot? With a roll of (34/100), Ross Perot has generally been able to maintain his popularity, especially with how both the Democratic and Republican campaigns are looking, but his political inexperience and the perceived impossibility of an Independent President have begin to diminish his campaign's impact. While Perot still leads in several state polls and takes largely from both Republicans and Democrats, his national polling has fallen from a height of 40% to around 35%. Many in the media question if he'll be able to maintain himself, or if his lead will continue to fall.

  20. I suppose I worded that poorly. I do think he's a sincere moderate, but also that he's an elitist piece of shit on top of it. You can be moderate without being elitist, Mary Peltola or Lisa Murkowski as examples. Joe Manchin is not that.
