2000 Election Extravaganza!!!


Sean F Kennedy

Recommended Posts

1: Kucinich really doing well with the endorsements so let's try the one failure again, Kucinich will ask to see whether or not Ted Kennedy is ready to endorse anyone in this campaign, Kucinich will once again repeat his great admiration for the Senator's work with regard to Labour and Healthcare.

2: We'll Invite Minority Leader Gephardt on another tour of Iowa, mostly stressing an image of being a good, honest man who wants to always do the right thing.

3- Kucinich will ask his good friend (and Godmother to Kucinich's daughter), Shirley MacLaine if she would both like to openly endorse his campaign and whether she can help organise some events with Holywood stars to help lend a bit of glamour to this campaign

1. Hillary Clinton seeks the endorsement of Delaware senator Joe Biden, praising his bipartisan work and experience. She also mentions how he would make a great running mate in future…

2. Hillary spends millions on Television ads in Iowa bringing up her biography and making her look relatable and sympathetic. Hillary also brings up the difficulties she faced as a woman trying to enter into politics, which shows how far this country still has to come in diversity and equality for all.

3. Hillary blasts New Hampshire with ads mentioning her endorsement by Jeanne Shaheen. Hillary also mentions how this election is a chance to make history with the first female president, rather than voting for yet another white male politician.

1. Pat Buchanan will campaign in Iowa, saying that as President he'll "set America's house in order" by going after "baby-killers, illegal immigrants, f*gg*ts, globalists, special interests, and liberal anti-white racists."

 

2. Buchanan will campaign in New Hampshire, stating that John McCain dropping out and endorsing Weld is simply, "one baby killer endorsing another baby killer." Buchanan proclaims that any candidate not committed ending the practice of abortion as President is "endorsing the death of every single child that is aborted each passing day".

 

3. Buchanan will campaign in South Carolina, promising to bring back American jobs with hard protectionism, withdraw from the UN, and put "America first" as President.

Democratic Debate Results

Winner

Paul Wellstone (8, 5, 7)

Paul Wellstone reminded everyone why he’s carrying so much momentum, he started the night by emphasizing policies of the Clinton administration that he supported but also stated the need to “move to a new era” his pitch to blue collar workers went over decently but they are still majorly split between the 4 progressive candidates. Wellstone also noticeably jabbed Clinton on her lack of experience. 
score: 20/30

Will Make Gains

Dennis Kucinich (8, 7, 3) 

Kucinich also enjoyed a good night for his campaign, His message of being an honest man who will always be honest is similar to Jimmy Carter’s charm. His appeal to protectionists and blue collar workers also was a success. Although his attacks on Clinton’s foreign policy fell flat and didn’t do the damage to Clinton he hoped for.

Score: 18/30

Bernie Sanders (3, 9, 5)

Bernie Sanders had a decent night in the middle of the pack, although his starting pitch of a political revolution made some Democrats wince, his appeal to working class voters who may be swayed by Buchanan was a clear success. His attack on Clinton as the status quo candidate did slight damage to an already bad night for the First Lady. 
score:17/20

Loser

Russ Feingold (4, 4, 2) 

Feingold had an… interesting night, his opening page of being a candidate for the people was mediocre at best, but then when you try to appeal to white working class voters and attack Clinton for being out of touch He spent half of the debate making references to Full House and Friends… yeah that was strange. 
score: 10/30

Hillary Clinton (3, 2, 1!)

Tonight was an absolute horror movie for Clinton. Her opening pitch of continuing The Clinton legacy was seen as pompous, then her pitch to women voters fell flat on its face, Clinton was quoted trying to paraphrase Madeleine Albright saying “ there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t vote for me” finally her attack on Republicans was a complete disaster when she had a mental breakdown and began venting about her husband’s extramarital affairs and declining to endorse her. “ he talks to Donald Trump on the phone more than he talks to me!” This was definitely not a good night for Clinton. 
Score: 4/30

Edited by Sean F Kennedy
Forgot to subtract from Clinton score for the attack from Wellstone

1.Sanders will go big and try to get an endorsement from VP Gore after his praise for GND

2.Sanders will release series of ads in IA and NH focusing on his record of consistency throughout his political career.

3.Sanders introduces a plan to get big money out politics,harshly regulate Wall Street and increase taxes on "the richest 1%" at a rally in Manchester,NH

(8) Gore declines to endorse as he’s already endorsed Clinton’s campaign.

(1!) The ads of Sanders are replaced by again… some weird Pete McCloskey ad… 

(13) Sanders plan is broadly popular and will help boost his support in New Hampshire

momentum: -1 A decent debate showing prevents disaster for Sanders who desperately needs a boost as primaries approach. It may be smart to make a deal with another candidate to defeat Clinton.

1. George Bush holds a rally in Cedar Rapids touting his economic record as Governor of Texas

2. Bush reaches out to Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn for his endorsement.

3. George Bush barnstorms in the state of Nevada.

(9) Bush has a less than stellar rally in Iowa 

(9) Governor Guinn rejects the endorsement request at the time, implying he favors Quayle more.

(1!) Bush’s campaign bud breaks down in the desert and is forced to cancel the event! A waste of an entire day.

momentum: -5  Bush  well once again see his campaign in a free fall mode as many see him running on his family name alone and don’t believe he’s ready to be president.

(9) The tour does little to build too much support in the Hawkeye state.

(1!) In a campaign blunder Kucinich calls the wrong Shirley MacLaine, the person they called was a schizophrenic patient. The Kucinich campaign is mocked for this.

momentum: 0  A good debate performance prevents Kucinich from losing support but has momentum all but stops.

momentum: -9  after a disastrous debate and a terrible week the Clinton campaign looks all but dead unless there is a campaign shake up which would include firing her staff many of which who has been with her since the beginning.  There are some calls for Al Gore to change his mind or a candidate such as Evan Bayh to jump in.

Hoping to keep the momentum up and maybe even get a boost, Wellstone will seek the endorsement of President Bill Clinton.

Wellstone will hold a rally in Iowa, thanking Iowa Democrats for polling him first.

Wellstone's bus will roll over and make its first appearance in New Hampshire

Breaking: President Clinton parties with Donald Trump

After Hillary’s disastrous debate performance it is leaked by a White House staffer that the Clintons got into a heated argument stemming from Clinton’s meltdown at the debate. An angry Bill Clinton left Washington at midnight and flew to New York City to visit an old friend… The President was quoted saying “Hillary it’s not my fault your campaign is dogshit right now.”

1. Bill Weld recruits John McCain to stump in New Hampshire for him. He will drive the point home that Pat Buchanan would ensure four more years of Democratic rule if nominated. Bill Weld on the other hand would wreck the Democrats in November. 

2. The NH Weld campaign will do a twist with it's "The Volunteer State" operation. They will specifically target areas where Buchanan seems to have large amounts of support and attempt to convince them that Pat isn't the right guy. He'd only weaken America ahead of the 21st century. Bill Weld is not that guy, the complete opposite in fact. 

3. Bill Weld seeks the endorsement of NH senator Judd Gregg. 

"Before you say anything, no I won't puke on you... Ok!"

1: Kucinich will make sure he is actually calling his good and dear friend Shirley McLaine this time and not...whomever that was and ask both for her endorsement and her help in lending the campaign some Hollywood star power and glamour with her connections

2: Kucinich will ask Rep Clyburn to take him on a tour of South Carolina to meet with locals and hear their concerns

3: Kucinich will do Q and A sessions with students Iowa State University

Hillary Events

Reshuffle: Hillary Clinton does a total overhaul of her campaign infrastructure, firing most of her old staff and bringing in new staffers and veterans from the prior Clinton campaigns. She also brings in representatives of various key demographics to help with outreach: black voters, Jewish voters, and unions. 

1. Hillary uses her money to send volunteers across Iowa knocking on doors and setting up Hillary yard signs. Many of the yard signs simply read “VOTE CLINTON”.

2. Hillary runs an ad campaign across Iowa bringing up snippets of Pat Buchanan’s “culture war” convention speech, where he attacks Hillary and condemns the “radical agenda” Clinton and Clinton want to bring to America. Hillary ends the ad with a message: “I’m a strong independent woman and a proud democrat, in order words I’m the Republican Party’s worst nightmare. Buchanan and his goons think America isn’t ready for a female president; this year, let’s show them how wrong they are.”
