Hiram Johnson for Faction Leader and we will be the Liberal Republicans

Johnson loses obscure, gains Uncharismatic

Robert Taft will become faction leader of the Taft Republicans.

Taft is ineligible, has conservative and you are moderate. Your only options are Chief Justice Taft,  Secretary of War James Good, and current Senate PPT George Moses. Action back to you.

Of course I will have Carl Hayden be our faction leader, but he will not run for party leader right now.

We'll be known as the School Book Liberals.

Hayden gains nothing

Joseph T. Robinson, Senator from the fine state of Arkansas.  And he'll run for party leader.

You really had to give him one of the worst traits in game and then take away the only trait that would let me pick someone else next time I am going to riot

Well, Taft became President with uncharismatic in 48. None of us wanted it to happen and yet it still happened. So there's hope for Johnson.  😉

Party Leader Results!

@jnewt Huey Long

5 + 5 +3 + 4  = 17

@MrPotatoTed Joseph T Robinson

6 + 2 + 7 = 15

Governor Huey P Long is elected Democratic Party leader! 

Long gains 1 command (now has 5!) 

LW Pop moves +2 Blue (now at Blue +1)

Long has leadership and rolled 5/25 so avoids the enthusiasm drops. Long also has charisma so party preference moves +1 Blue (now at Red +1). Long has unlikable but rolls 86/25 so avoids the party preference shift. As ironfist, Party Leader Long can choose to share a card with fellow Blue Factions, action to @jnewtfor that card!

@jnewt gains 100

@matthewyoung123 President Herbert Hoover is Republican Party Leader!

Hoover sees Cons move +2 Red (already at max +3 Red!)

Hoover has leadership but rolls 63/25 and sees LW Pops, Progs, Liberals and RW pops move +1 Blue (Blue +2, Blue +1, No Bonus-leans Blue, No Bonus-leans Blue, respectively)

Hoover has uncharismatic so party preference moves +1 Blue (Now at no preference-leans Red).

@matthewyoung123 gains 100

As we await the card from @jnewt for Blue Factions, @matthewyoung123 can begin the process of setting appointments for President Hoover's cabinet! Please see the rules under  2.3.1 Presidential Appointments to select your cabinet appointments. If we can have the card and nominees by tomorrow, 9pm Eastern, that would be great!
