Well, you need to announce your campaign, then you need to campaign. You should look to Leskya's post for guidance.

Vietminh, will you be creating a new map now Kennedy's been announced?

He should make maps for Republican primaries and Democrat primaries, IMO.

I already did that before fyi. I'm just waiting for a few more posts, but I have the basic maps ready to go.

I absolutely know John Wayne is going to win Republicans in Iowa, California, and Texas.

[Lynland-]

Name of Nation: Lynland
Name of Candidate: Stuart Symington
Party: Democratic
Quick Description of Candidate: William Stuart Symington, Jr. was born in 1901 in Massachusetts to a wealthy and well connected family. He enlisted to the US Army in 1918, but never saw action due to the war ending before he was deployed. He was discharged as a second lieutenant in 1919, being one of the youngest men to reach this rank. After graduating from Yale he would work as a businessman, serving as the President of Emerson Electric Company in St. Louis, Missouri, from 1938 to 1945 and transforming the company into the world's largest builder of airplane gun turrets during World War 2. He served as the first Secretary of the Air Force from 1947 to 1950, a tenure that included the Berlin airlift. He would later resign in protest of a lack of funding for the airforce after the USSR detonated their first nuclear weapon. He was elected as a Senator for Missouri in 1952 and was reelected in 1958. He was an outspoken opponent of Senator Joseph McCarthy and played a key role in censuring McCarthy during the Army–McCarthy hearings.
Home State: Missouri
Other Info: Symington refuses to speak to segregated audiences, and so his campaign will likely not do well in the Southern States.

(1956), Chicago (1957), Boston (1959) and recently in Las Vegas (1960) for the rights to a Muslim caliphate, the 33-year old Islamic preacher describes America as the false land of freedom, but is willing to change it into a true land of freedom

Denied. Real people, please.

[Agarntrop]

I see a possibility of either Ohio swinging to Kennedy or Pensylvannia to Douglas.

Yeah, those races will probably be the ones that decide the nomination.

Right Now I'd order the Republicans' chance Lodge Jr., Macarthur, Coughlin, Wayne. Democrats are Kennedy, Graham, Douglas, Kefauver.

I went on a minor hiatus with this RP, but I'm ready to continue it. So, in that sense, it is not dead.
