  3. No matter what we do with healthcare, we do need to deregulate pharma and create more competition in that industry.
  4. 1992 Pennsylvania Democratic Primary Results George McGovern - 775,699 votes - 61.27% - 104 delegates Mario Cuomo - 490,290 votes - 38.73% - 65 delegates
  5. Vice President: 8. The announcement of upstanding family man, actor known for his performances in The Naked Gun, and 2,000 rushing yard season achiever OJ Simpson as McGovern's Vice Presidential nominee is a massive win to many Americans. They know that this man's accolades, above all, mean he truly is a chosen son of God, one who can faithfully aid The Prophet McGovern in his mission. HIVAIDS: 8. The event is a great success for McGovern! Hundreds of citizens of Philadelphia line up around street corners just to get a small amount of The Prophet's blood, and they're eternally grateful. Hopefully they don't get any blood tests anytime soon. Faggot: 6. Most people in Ohio outside of Traficant's district don't really care about his candidacy yet, but a small amount of voters are pissed to hear that this man is of the queer variety. Overall: +7, -4 (Traficant), -1 (Cuomo) = +2. McGovern has a really good week in working his supporters and announcing the man who would be his vice president, but attacks from his opponents have dragged him down. Fort Wayne: 9. Traficant comes across well, getting macho manufacturing workers to solidify behind him as a populist leader for the new age Foley: 5. The Speaker has little interest in an endorsement of Traficant. He's glad to see a House Democrat in the race, but Traficant's not exactly his speed. Still, he'll refrain from speaking out against Traficant since he isn't huge on the opposition either. Toledo: 4. It's a boring rally in Toledo. Overall: +3, -1 (McGovern) = +2. A positive week for Traficant after announcing again, he's able to muster up a bit more support, but the quest for delegates is still not an assured one. Casey: 1! The disgraced catholic faggot king? How could this ever be such a good idea? McGovern's followers storm the event and kidnap Bob Casey! He's taken off to one of The Prophet's hidden Appalachian saferooms and ransom him for a million dollars from the Cuomo campaign. This results in horrible press for Cuomo being a weak leader, he's the real villain here. California: 3. Cuomo isn't able to tread any new ground that's different from the successes last week and the attacks just kinda end up feeling played out. Nixon: 6. Cuomo is far from truly learning the Way of the Dick, but using some techniques are able to knock down McGovern just a bit. Overall: -6. As soon as it seemed that Cuomo may actually be capturing some momentum, it immediately drifts away. Cuomo's actual campaigning was mediocre, but it's dragged to hell by horrible press from the Casey incident.

  7. Katie Britt requests the endorsement of Alabama Governor Kay Ivey Katie Britt and Richard Shelby know that there's one man who could truly, once and for all, help them create this time machine: Elon Musk. Britt sets up a meeting with the entrepreneur, and tells him "boy isn't it a shame what all those trannies did to your family?" to try and hypnotize him into helping fund her time machine. Katie Britt holds a rally at Clemson University, where she creates her new rallying cry: "Tigers country, let's ride."
  8. National Polling - April 21st, 1992 George McGovern: 48% (-4) Mario Cuomo: 34% (+3) Jim Traficant: 3% (+3) Undecided: 15% (-2) Upcoming Races Outlook - April 21st, 1992 Pennsylvania - Likely McGovern (+10) Indiana: Likely McGovern (+11), Traficant at 7% North Carolina: Lean McGovern (+4) Washington DC: Safe Cuomo (+57) Nebraska: Safe McGovern (+23) West Virginia: Likely McGovern (+8), Traficant at 8% Oregon: Safe McGovern (+24) Kentucky: Tilt Cuomo (+1) Arkansas: Likely Cuomo (+9) Pennsylvania will take place at the end of this turn Indiana, North Carolina, and Washington DC will take place at the end of next turn And a such, a new turn begins. @Fbarbarossa @The Blood @Cenzonico =
  9. Above all this chaos, one has to wonder: how is the primary going for George Bush? With a roll of (32/100), he's faced a large conservative movement against him, but has been just able to hold onto his spot, which is now a very shaky incumbency. The Bush campaign, seeing the state of the Democratic Primary felt that it wouldn't have to put much early work into their campaign. This allowed the insurgent paleoconservative Pat Buchanan to pull a victory in New Hampshire, much to the surprise of many Republicans. This catapulted Buchanan's movement into one that could provide a proper challenge to President Bush, garnering over 30% of the vote in most states and crossing the 35% line in many of them. Now seeing the challenge as the threat it is, the Bush campaign responded by pouring money into the rest of the primary, but it wasn't enough to completely put down Buchanan, who was also able to eek out a win in Louisiana. President Bush remains on track to secure a majority of the delegates, but it's taking his campaign uncomfortably long to get there and many Republicans are feeling anxious. What about Ross Perot? With a roll of (84/100), the faltering of President Bush and the utter chaos of the Democratic Primary has allowed the Texan businessman to rise quickly to the top of the political world. At the start of the campaign, Perot had been polling around 20%, but this had ballooned to 40%, with Perot often leading horse-race polls against Bush and McGovern, though not doing quite as well against Bush and Cuomo. Many questions remain about Perot's ability to keep his campaign going, and interim VP James Stockdale may have to be replaced to give him a proper shot at winning, but for now Perot looks to be a real threat to the political establishment.
  10. Return: 6. A very large portion of the Democratic electorate is yearning for a third choice, one who isn't the messiah or a New Yorker. Folks are glad to see this come to fruition with a new third candidate, but they aren't exactly jumping in excitement at it being Traficant. He's able to win back some support in the four states. Enough to get delegates? Probably not yet, but it's possible. Traficant's base is equal parts Catholics from Cuomo and Populists from McGovern. Gyatt: 6. The people of Ohio don't really know how to respond to this ad. They're strangely entranced by the funny words that McGovern uses, though, such that legions of impressionable youth are suddenly clamoring to see McGovern's gyatt. AIDS: 1! The plan backfires tremendously. The McGovern campaign is able to successfully commandeer a gaggle of Philly Phags and send them to a Cuomo event. However, Cuomo has a Catholic security team on standby who use ancient Latin scripts to enchant the Homosexual Marxists. The gaggle is therefore commanded to break into George McGovern's hotel, where they all perform blood transfusions on The Prophet. VP: 9. The American people love one thing as much as they hate Italians; they love breakfast! They're all really excited to see John Waffle in the vice presidential debates. Overall: 0, -8 (Cuomo) = -8. The VP announcement and the Gyatt ad went well, but Cuomo's attacks really dragged the week down. Also you have AIDS. California: 8. Cuomo is finally able to pull some charisma and make a breakthrough in California. He's able to rightfully point out that McGovern is a loser cuck, the most damaging attack so far. McGovern: 10! After successes in California, the CuckGovern campaign is in full force nationwide. The world-renowned ads portray George McGovern silently weeping in the corner in the cuck chair. Nixon: 9. Richard Nixon agrees to meet with Mario Cuomo, and it goes surprisingly well. Richard Nixon is willing to devote some of his more shifty weapons towards helping Cuomo in the primary, just with the caveat that they both understand he's still Team Bush in the general. Overall: +12. Finally, an actual breakthrough for Cuomo. His attacks are landing, he didn't get AIDS, everything is looking up!
  11. Actually, if I had a company that could afford to pay 200 extra salaries for little reason I would probably sell the company and retire lmfao
  12. Give the jobs to the most able workers with potential to provide my company with surplus value.
  13. I don't really know how to answer some of these in the poll itself, so I'll just answer here. For 3, I simply wouldn't re-write federal welfare to be like that? For 4, I'd simply hire the most qualified people regardless of whether or not they've been on welfare.
  14. No, the rule for splitting electoral college votes (10% chance of 1 EV switching) sucks and was clearly designed only with Maine and Nebraska in mind rather than big states. I’m just trying to draw attention to a not great rule so that it can hopefully change.
  15. CA Gov. George Deukmejian (4) enact Strict Business and Environmental Regulations IA Gov. Terry Branstad (3) will enact Split Electoral Votes LA Gov. Theodosia Longshot (1) will enact Split Electoral Votes TN Gov. Lamar Alexander (2) will enact Split Electoral Votes VA Gov. Linwood Holton (2) will enact Split Electoral Votes WV Gov. Cecil H Underwood (2) will enact Split Electoral Votes

  17. Democratic State of the Race - 4/12/92 Delegates needed to win: 1,748 Note: Popular vote is for primaries only. George McGovern - 4,325,934 votes - 41.41% - 959 delegates - 27.45% of total Mario Cuomo - 3,816,192 votes - 36.53% - 831 delegates - 23.78% of total Daniel Patrick Moynihan (suspended) - 2,158,302 votes - 20.66% - 438 delegates - 12.54% of total Bob Kerrey (suspended) - 14,274 votes - 0.14% - 11 delegates - 0.31% of total Bob Casey Sr (suspended) - 17,893 votes - 0.17% - 10 delegates - 0.29% of total James Traficant - 115,044 votes - 1.10% - 2 delegates - 0.06% of total Joe Biden (suspended) - 0 votes - 0.00% - 5 delegates - 0.14% of total George McGovern would need 63.73% of the remaining delegates to secure a majority.
  18. 1992 Virginia Democratic Caucus Results George McGovern - 51.93% - 41 delegates Mario Cuomo - 48.07% - 37 delegates
  19. Mario Bros: 4. Andrew and Chris are both rapscallions, but neither one of them is very experienced, and their run on interference doesn't end up doing much but annoying some folks. Paul Newman: 4. The ad comes across as cringy, with Newman giving a phoned in performance and the script being overtly political to the point where the audience is groaning even if they agree with the message. Bob Casey: 3. After the events of the early primary season, putting Casey out there is a foolish decision. He still has yet to recover his reputation from the Catholic Faggot incident. Overall: -4. You just strayed too far this week. Doing wacky, non-professional campaign events, why would that ever work? Ides: 4. McGovern is never able to get close enough to Cuomodue to his very large security team. I wonder why he would have such high risk mitigation? Bickle: 4. McGovern is able to get a bit closer to Cuomo this time, but when he attempts to take aim, his arm-gun thing just falls straight off. Maybe he shouldn't have asked Deng Xiaoping for technology again. IRA: 1! George McGovern trusts Deng Xiaoping to give him the best car bomb technology available, but when he attempts to outfit it to the car, the bomb comes to life and declares "YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MANDATE OF HEAVEN". Frustrated with this bomb's insubordination, McGovern calls it a Catholic Cuck, to which the bomb responds by getting up, shooting McGovern in the leg, and then getting taken away by an eagle. Overall: -7. The wee wee assassination attempts were not doing their thing this turn, and McGovern comes out embarrassed and injured.
  20. National Polling - April 8th, 1992 George McGovern: 54% (+1) Mario Cuomo: 31% (-4) Undecided: 15% (+3) Upcoming Races Outlook - April 8th, 1992 Virginia - Likely McGovern (+12) Pennsylvania - Safe McGovern (+18) Indiana: Safe McGovern (+20) North Carolina: Likely McGovern (+24) Washington DC: Safe Cuomo (+48) Nebraska: Safe McGovern (+32) West Virginia: Safe McGovern (+17) Oregon: Safe McGovern (+33) Virginia will take place at the end of this turn And a such, a new turn begins. @Fbarbarossa @The Blood
