NationStates Jolt Archive

Just to see what the results would be like if the upcoming US election were held here at NSG between now and Tuesday.

Open to all. I've limited the poll to McCain, Rommney, Obama, Clinton, and OTHER, because the minor and 3rd part candidates go far beyond the capacity of Jolt's polling.

Other, albeit I'm undecided about who that is, it being a long way until November.

As of this moment...if it is between Clinton and McCain, I'll probably vote McCain.

If it is Obama vs. McCain then I'm going to have to take a long hard look before deciding.

Mickey Mouse for President.

Vote me for President.

Are you over 35?
Are you a naturally born citizen?
Have you been living here for the last 14 years?

Vote me for President.

No to all...

But please please please vote for me! If you don't like 'em all, just vote for me, I'm sure you'd like me. :D

And hopefully your VP is an American that meets all the above qualifications and can run effectively :D

I am still looking for a VP... but I think I'm inclined towards a gay atheist Frenchperson who is against guns. :p

Obama gets my vote. He's the most left of that rightest bunch.

What about an extremely left (by American standards) socialist Canadian pro-gay marriage pro-choice atheist who is against guns? ;)

I flipped a coin between McCain and Obama...McCain won the toss with heads.

(How, might you ask, did I assign who got what side of the coin? Easy: The animal that symbolizes the democrats is the donkey, which is also referred to as the jackass, or ass. And ass=tail, thus, Obama got tails.)

Sure they can be... *in a sultry conspiratorial voice* they just have to curry my favor... ;)

Fuck this shit. Vote Bolol of the "Fuckitall Party".

We don't give a shit about what you do in private, and neither should you!

I'm looking for a VP and a "Secretary of Badass". Who shall join me in this righteous battle?

Can I just right in..Stephen Colbert, or Jon Stewart,or..Lewis Black? someone who at leasts makes sense when they talk.

I'm just about ready to break out one of those good old "Don't blame me, I voted for Bill and Opus" t-shirts...

What cabinet position will you trade me for my delegates at the convention...

OTHER. As I'm registered Democrat, I'd vote for Kucinich on Super Tuesday.
I intend to vote Green in November.

Lg '08!

Wait! PA is also voting in Super Tuesday?

Dude, I love you.

Heh, don't thank me, I saw NSG nominees for President and just had to search for something that could generate campaign buttons and stuff. Also, whilst I was looking I spotted a newspaper clipping generator. I know the article is rubbish, and I had to make up some nonsensical things, but I have too much time on my hands and couldn't resist. Et voila.

Oh, and Andaras Prime in 08. A vote for Andaras is a vote for lulz.

Wait! PA is also voting in Super Tuesday?No.
I meant if NSG was holding Super Tuesday elections. :)

Like I said, Secretary of Badass is open, which is sort of like Secretary of Defense, except better. You're encouraged to incorporate as many badass war cliches in your vocabulary as possible, and are also encouraged to come to Cabinet meetings wearing a badass longcoat (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassLongcoat).

Secretary of Partying is also open, and that is self-explanatory. Show up to cabinet meetings, bring drinks, heavy metal music, make sarcastic remarks and jokes.

Is good too. And accurate!

At this point, I'm supporting Obama. There's just one thing that concerns me.
NSG, has anyone out there heard what his position on gay marriage is? I don't think I could support a candidate who doesn't fully support gay marriage. (Cite your sources, please, and thanks for the help!)

I direct your attention to my sig.

OMG! I am being outcampaigned!!! Must. Bring. Out... Industrial Strength Campaign Charisma!

Of course, if I win, I'd open America to everyone! Everyone is free to come to America! Swedes, gays, Kazakhs, right-wingers, Thais, socialists, Paraguayans... everybody! Join the great party that is AMERICA!!! :p

Hmph, I'm swamped campaigning in South Dakota and Liechtenstein right now... will try to get campaigning on NSG. NSG is such a valuable constituency for the presidency...

Roughly pro, judging from this (http://www.issues2000.org/Barack_Obama.htm#Civil_Rights).

Simply fantastic!

Why can't the NS community decide who the next prez of the USA will be? It would make things so much easier!

either that or electing someone like Andaras Prime or FreedomAndGlory for the lulz...

Like I said, Andaras - America's prime candidate in 2008.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Don't be sorry, I was about to put AP '08-To do otherwise is treason or Andaras2008-Friend Computer is watching you.

Paranoia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoia_%28role-playing_game%29) humor, if you don't get it, don't worry, it just means you're not as big of a geek as me. ;)

I vote for my Siamese cat Rocco for President. Unfortunately, he's unelectable; he has a very long history of a battle with catnip addiction.

Hmmm...

:::looks at coat currently worn, tastes in music and alcohol:::

Can I be Secretary of Badasspartying? It'll be cool. I'll rock that crazy casbah old school milspeak jive. (Hopefully some old school punk will work instead of heavy metal.)

Seriously, if the polls continue they way they do....

Obama

Oh please, my Siamese would beat yours! She can act cute and cuddly, and she is strong on National Defense! I can't tell you how many toys she chewed up! Beside, she can't talk or many any real decision, all she can do is act cute and unite the nation as they go "awww" when she plays with her catnip mouse!

But she doesn't have an addiction, no sir!

AMELIA FOR '08!

Well. The Supreme Court may consider giving the powers of two Cabinet members dangerous and perhaps even unconstitutional.

But then again, my party's platform is based on not giving a damn, in government and private life! Welcome aboard!

I don't think I could support a candidate who doesn't fully support gay marriage.
That leaves you with Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel.

Damn. Two people with no shot of getting elected. Again.

Thanks for the info. I shall have go ponder this.

It does make him seem a bit waffley, so I would like to add that as a State Senator he sponsored several anti-discrimination bills, like this one (http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?GA=93&DocTypeID=SB&DocNum=101&GAID=3&SessionID=3&LegID=735)

Well I am pissed. I voted little under a month ago, as an absentee in Illinois, for John Edwards. Well, tada! He isn't running anymore. So how they hell do they plan on counting my vote? Will they throw the whole ballet out?

Probably either a) yes, your vote won't be counted, b) you'll be given a chance to vote again (highly unlikely), or c) you'll go down as undecided.

Don't know for sure, but I'd imagine this kind of situation comes up a lot.

Between the four serious candidates left? Probably Obama.

(I sure hope it's only four, because the next one down is Huckabee, and... that terrifies me.)
