2008 Presidential Election: The Mini-Mafia [Concluded]

[Warmaster Horus]

Dang. But that was predictable.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Voting over.

February, 2008

It is the day of the noted New Hampshire primaries, the first real "open primary" in the nation. The results of this election will decide much and either give a candidate momentum, or rob him of it.

The results of the Democratic primary are inconclusive with both John Edwards and Barack Obama scoring delegates and declaring victory. However, it appears that the Republican battle for the nomination has been narrowed down. With a potentially true leak coming out about his involvement in the "Bertha Incident," Rudy Giuliani received much less votes than he was expecting. He has now received the label of the "Dirty Candidate" and widely distrusted by the voters. His campaign is over.

Barack Obama (sapi)

Night phase has begun.

A reminder: I need all "alignment" PMs by the end of the phase. Remember I need them both from the Campaign Consultant/Sleaze Merchant *and* their aligned politician.

[Stig]

Well, what do you mean by "voted Mitt Romney"?

At night we politicians vote for someone to leave. I voted a republican to be left as the only republican in the race.

[Warmaster Horus]

Well, I'm sure I'm not lying, and you, as a politician, would have no qualms about it - after all, you do it for a living.

Okay, joking aside, I trust the contents of what I received more than what you say. So, unless I made a most dreadful mistake, or unless GH made a mistake (which would surprise me), you are lying.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I'm waiting for one PM. You know who you are.

If I don't get it by tomorrow afternoon GMT you will be replaced. Louis, are you still watching the thread?

February, 2008

On the eve of Super Duper Tuesday, a shocking piece of information makes its rounds in the blogosphere and eventually progresses to CNN, Fox News, and the like.

What all the blogs and TV clips share in common is one Youtube video, posted the prior day, of Fred Thompson publicly strangling a baby at an event in California. As expected, there is a general outrage among this clip. The Thompson campaign has put out an official statement:

"Mr. Thompson regrets having to resort to such a terrible measure. However, the baby in question was in fact biting Mr. Thompson in the hand very hard and he was starting to lose circulation. It was the only way to get the youngster off."

Nobody buys it, and it seems as if Thompson is out of the race.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Yes indeed. That goes for the other candidates out of the race as well.

[Csargo]

[CountArach]

Obama, Osama... do the math.

[Csargo]

I aim to please. :D

[Caius]

Vote:CA

[seireikhaan]

Bah, that infant had it coming. Anyways, vote CA.(for being a no good, double crossing, backstabbing crook. in otherwords, a good politician)

[pevergreen]

No vote. I think i should become a character who doesnt like the government....but not a bomber.

[Warmaster Horus]

Vote:CA

For the worst reason for voting.

[CountArach]

Explain to me something... who else can I vote for?

[sapi]

Vote: CA

At least come up with a funny joke

[CountArach]

Actually I stole it form the Chaser's.

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Vote: CountArach

I don't really need to give a reason.

[Warmaster Horus]

Tally

John Edwards (CA):5 (Ichigo, Caius, WH, sapi, Omanes)
Barack Obama (sapi):1 (CA)

CA, what I meant was what sapi said. That joke was just ... horrible.

[CountArach]

As said, I can't claim responsibility for it. I stole it.

[sapi]

As said, I can't claim responsibility for it. I stole it.

Brings your taste into even worse repute

March, 2008

John Edwards makes the inevitable Obama/Osama joke. Fed-up voters go to the polls and vote for Obama in droves. A dispirited Edwards comes in second for the nomination again and (again) can only hope that he will be selected to be the Vice-President.

Stage 2 (and night phase) has begun. Politicians, it's time to discredit the non-voters. The 2008 election will be between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.

[CountArach]

Can I send in a PM, or am I "dead"?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Only the two politicians still remaining can send PMs.

[Caius]

Only the two politicians still remaining can send PMs.

Can you explain that?

I dont understand 'discredit the non-voters'

[GeneralHankerchief]

Each non-voter has a role.

All you are to do is tell me the username of the person you want to "discredit" and they will no longer have any powers.

[pevergreen]

Blatantly throwing my support out there for Mitt Romney (Caius Flaminius)
Go Son!

May, 2008

Extra, extra! Read all about it! Barack Obama is a filthy hypocrite!

During a speech in his home state of Illinois yesterday, the Democratic nominee for president was recently caught making slanderous and obviously discriminatory remarks against a minority group!

The remarks in question came when the Senator was making a comment about his rival, Mitt Romney. "As far as my esteemed opponent, I trust him and his economic policies about as far as I could toss a midget."

A man known only as pevergreen, who was at the event, spoke with reporters afterwards and displayed his outrage. "First of all," he said, "we prefer to be called 'little people.' You'd think with Obama being a Democrat and all he'd be up-to-date on politically correct euphamisms but obviously that is not the case."

The little person went on to say how he was "shocked" and "outraged" over how Mr. Obama, himself being a minority, "could treat a fellow minority that way." Most of the media agrees.
