Main Strengths: is seen by many in Louisiana as the second coming of his grandfather Huey Long, populist, favored heavily among poor blacks and poor whites, commands the Louisiana Democratic Party with a heavy fist, bringing back the Share Our Wealth program, well-connected and generally loved in Louisiana, born-and-bred Southerner with lots of GOP crossover appeal, forceful political operator, king of the smoke-filled rooms but also a commanding speaker

I think I can see Levi working really well with Jackson

Just don't stump for him.

Goodman played Huey Long in some made-for-TV movie in the '90's, so I figured he was a good look for him

He was in Speed Racer, also. Which, I'm guessing no one might have realized he was in.

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.

There's likely the chance that Hurricane Katrina would have caused him issues too considering he's in the 2nd district. The character's strengths and weaknesses will stay mostly the same, but I'll cut Share Our Wealth and give him some weaknesses related to the handling of Katrina.

If a moderate Dem wins, expect either Battila-Kim or Zhou to be in the race. Asian-Americans are a very much ignored demographic, one just begging to get an Obama to boost turnout.
