The Land of the Free: American Political Roleplay (OOC III)

[Rijkenlandd]

Someone should do an interview of K.V.

[Titanne]

So no endorsement for Paulson then?

Not from him, but she'll still be getting the benefit of his connections and organisation.

I hate doing interviews but someone needs to interview Villy.

He's epic.

[Velahor]

Not from him, but she'll still be getting the benefit of his connections and organisation.

Ouch. Okay, well we can work with that.

[Federal States of Xathuecia]

Not from him, but she'll still be getting the benefit of his connections and organisation.

Ouch. Okay, well we can work with that.

That's silly.

he should just endorse her.

[Gordano and Lysandus]

Ouch. Okay, well we can work with that.

That's silly.

he should just endorse her.

^^^^^

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

That's silly.

he should just endorse her.

^^^^^

It's to ensure he still gets his end from Richardson if Paulson loses.

[Velahor]

That's silly.

he should just endorse her.

^^^^^

Honestly though, he kinda agreed to it before, and it’s pretty unrealistic that a leading libertarian in the House wouldn’t endorse the highest polling libertarian Republican in history...

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

^^^^^

Yeah, but Richardson wouldn't give him his Secretary of Science, Space and Technology then, would he?

Yeah, but Richardson wouldn't give him his Secretary of Science, Space and Technology then, would he?

I don't personally think Richardson's going to be able to maintain his small government line and deliver a DSST.

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

Yeah, but Richardson wouldn't give him his Secretary of Science, Space and Technology then, would he?

I don't personally think Richardson's going to be able to maintain his small government line and deliver a DSST.

It's just making a department, not moving any actual money.

[Federal States of Xathuecia]

^^^^^

It's to ensure he still gets his end from Richardson if Paulson loses.

He's going to get Paulson angry.

And he's already made Richardson angry. Playing both sides like this won't work. Richardson has no reason to help him with this and neither does Paulson if she does this.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

That’s true. But he honestly should have brought that up when they met up at the farm. Their whole conversation revolved around how the switched endorsements would give Paulson a much-needed late-summer momentum boost. And he talked Teasdale into joining him in doing it, so the change of strategy is odd to say the least....

[Federal States of Xathuecia]

I think it's silly. If I was Paulson, I'd kick him in the balls and quit defending Voh with Volker unless he makes the shift.

Honestly K.V. can't be the only character on Capitol Hill that's epic. I'm guessing there are other good personalities as well.

There aren't.

Yeah, he’s already pissed off Richardson, and Paulson arguably helps him the most in his House district. Paulson offered him the exact same role for DSST (or “Department of Space and Innovation” as she’s sometimes called it), so it seems obvious to switch.

And he should be careful about pissing off Paulson. I really doubt that Vohoffsky wants a former Watergate reporter digging around in his affairs...

I think it's silly. If I was Paulson, I'd kick him in the balls and quit defending Voh with Volker unless he makes the shift.

Oh believe me, if Vohoffsky doesn’t switch, she’ll tell Volker to do whatever he wants to Voh.

Yeah, true, he'll probably switch. Also, he was choosing to not switch for the good of Paulson too - if someone so blatantly libertarian endorses her, that might put a stop to her inroads with the moderates. But he did get Teasdale to switch, so...

Everyone is treating Porter as the frontrunner

I literally stood there and took a grilling like it was impeachment proceedings. I don't know why everyone's so aggressive towards him. Richardson is a bigger threat to Prendergast and vice versa.

I mean, Park, Allen and Teasdale are all probably strong enough combined, but alright.

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

This is a stupid mud-slinging contest. Makes sense for Porter to be it, kinda makes sense for Prendy, no sense whatsoever for Paulson. Richardson is making the smart move staying out for the most part.

[Rijkenlandd]

And if anyone wants to jab at him, Kevin partnered with a Goldman Sachs billionaire executive (whom is a big fan) to make his big racing team out of scratch back in 2006. Maybe raise some eyebrows about conflict of interest.

It's like the first debate all over again except this time AWJ's pushing much harder.

Allen won’t switch for OOC reasons unless Richardson drops out. Park is waiting for her to cross the 20% threshold.

Paulson’s libertarian reputation already has done any damage to her with moderates that a Vohoffsky endorsement would do. She spoke at PorcFest, she’s ran on the Libertarian VP ticket, so it really wouldn’t change much.

There aren't.

Oh come on now, not everyone in Washington's a dull, generic politician.

[Titanne]

no.

Maybe not, but they're not as much of a lad as Villalobos. My characters all have ticks and personalities, but aren't really remarkable, except for Voorhees, who isn't in Congress, and I haven't fully explored yet.
