Headlines
The papers are released each day in the morning, and describe what happened the previous day. The first day of the cycle is a Wednesday, and the last a Tuesday, but the first newspapers are Thursday's, and the last Wednesday's.
Thursday's papers:It New Year's Eve. Happy New Year's Eve.is just nailing it talking about the War on Terror, whileDefenderis rrrreallly suffering, his good showing on Fox News nonwithstanding.Negarirtalks tax on O'Reilly, to good effect, as doesSpire.Serduchkagets the knife stuck intoTSLon the trail, whileNegarirtries to solidify his position in New Hampshire.Abbott
Friday:is RICH babes!!!!TSLcontinues to take hits, whileNegarircops it a bit for being negative.Khanis on the end of a harshReckonerattack ad, asMcGriddlesfinds herself confronting protesters at an event.Mothma
Saturday:? Meet the Press? A match made in heaven.Defenderboth does well on O'Reilly and continues suffering elsewhere. And a lot of people did a lot of things and it had no effect whatsoever. So, like, whatever.Negarir
Sunday:Lookit,did super well on Meet the Press, andKhangives a speech that moves no needles.Serduchkais probably hoping for that after a badly received speech on integrity, andAbbottgets along with Maddow. And, endorsements.Peanuts,Gov. Robert Bentley;Abbott,Gov. Asa Hutchinson;Negarir,Sen. Rand Paul;Khan,Sen. Mitch McConnell.Defender

Wednesday:andDefender: too negative? Apparently, yes.Mothmagets protested, andNegarirAbbott'scontinues. Etc etc etc.scandal
The Crystal Ball
Hey things have changed, huh.
The Republicans
1. Negarir (91 points)
2. Abbott (63 points)
3. Defender (46 points)
4. Khan (41 points)
5. TSL (30 points)
6. Mothma (28 points)
Well, Negarir's hold on the lead has softened, and that's great for fans of close elections. His entire advantage here is his endorsement strength, so unless that really puts a dent in anyone else's plans, it looks like this thing is wide wide open.
The Democrats
1. Spire (76 points)
2. Reckoner (45 points)
3. Serduchka (40 points)
4. Peanuts (39 points)
5. McGriddles (23 points)
Okay so Spire still has some advantage here. It's mainly that as a candidate, he is just very very good, and his polling is solid. But, you take just one of those away, and this is very close. So there's a tightening going on.

Thursday's papers:Let's roll.is out on the streets decrying corruption (which only Democrats do anyway) and hitting up Colbert about free trade. And yikes forDefender; aAbbottis taking hold, although it seems minor. We've got protesters atscandalandNegarirevents, whilstSerduchkacops a spray fromKhan. AndMothmahas an okay run on Meet the Press. So basically, the stage is set for this debate.McGriddles
THE FOURTHREPUBLICAN PRIMARYDEBATE
Thursday, January 14th, 2016
There were four pretenders and two actual debaters on that stage. The four were, in no particular order:, whose attack againstDefenderfell flat;Mothma, who tried to makeAbbottlook bad, and bothNegarirandKhan, who were both able to at least make themselves look a little bit better.TSLwas a surprise to see do competently: her issue familiarity is an Achilles' heel in this format, but she managed to cope regardless. But, obviously,TSLandNegarirstole the show, and were both able to highly successfully boast about their own achievements. Preparation trumps talent, though, andMothmacame out on top.Mothma
1. Mothma (10 points)
2. Negarir (8 points)
3. TSL (3 points)
3. Khan (3 points)
5. Abbott (0 points)
6. Defender (0 points)
Headlines, Continued
Friday:has another favourable news cycle, but here's the thing: can she finally capitalize on it? History suggests no, but she's got a boost in the news for the time being.Mothmais back out, talking on the issues (literally just how much he knows about the issues), andNegarirawkwardly says he doesn't have integrity.McGriddlestroubles are fading as expected,Abbott'sgets some protesting, and yep. That's all.Spire
Saturday:leads the papers with a well-received speech on how killing terrorists is good.Negarirhits up Vermont and its proclivity to spend money, while also calling for unions to continue existing, which people are into. AndReckonerhas not tried to further spin her debate win, so wow, colour me shocked.Mothma
Sunday:leads again! Except, this time, for being too negative, so yikes.NegarirandPeanutsboth do well on Meet the Press and Colbert, respectively, whileMothmadoes a good barnstorm on integrity. And now, endorsements.Defender,Gov. Terry Branstad;Abbott,Sen. Jim Inhofe; andKhan,Sen. Ed Markey. Is it going to affect the debate? Probably not, but eh.Serduchka
THE FOURTHDEMOCRATIC PRIMARYDEBATE
Sunday, January 17th, 2016
Wew lads. You know how like, whengets mad and he just shouts a lot? And you know how that's usually like, a little bit offputting? This time, it was not, andReckonerhad no chance because of it. Obviously,Peanutslanguished near the bottom, with no standout moments. As usual. ButMcGriddlesended up performing really badly, and it was to the benefit of bothPeanutsandReckoner, who ended up beating expectations (not that it counts for much, I guess).Serduchkadid try to pile onSerduchka, and it did backfire, but she was obviously energized in a way she hadn't been in previous debates. AndPeanutsown charisma and energy also contributed to an impressive performance. But, oh look, what a shock,Reckoner'stakes it, in part with mighty natural debating skills and intense preparation on the issues.Spire
I suspect this is the last debate before Iowa. If not, we'll see you there; if so, that was the last parting shot before the sprint. Good luck.
1. Spire (10 points)
2. Reckoner (7 points)

Monday:won, so I welcome death now.Spireis raising an absolute fuckton of money and that's good for him, especially since questions about his negativity remain.Negarirdoes pretty well on Colbert, andMothmasuffers some protesters at an event.Serduchka
Tuesday:is just having a really big week. The fundraiser is still news, and a really good run on Fox News Sunday is bumping him up a lil bit more.Negarirdebate win has been spun into uselessness, to the delight of many, andSpire'sgives a rallying cry consisting of the words "let's spend more money".Serduchka
Wednesday:will not be outdone!!! He has also made money.Khanis being too negative, andAbbotthits up Nevada. And a lot of sniping's going on as well.Reckonercops it fromPeanuts, andSerduchkatargetsDefender, whileMothmatries forPeanutsin Minnesota.McGriddles

your candidate is like, maxed out on the key character attributes (leadership/experience/integrity), and your campaign is maxed out on corruption (1, i.e. least corrupt), so it's definitely a matter of allocation
the problem is that it didn't leave room for much else but it doesn't seem to be hurting right now because your attributes are weighted towards winning the primary (literally, in primary rather than general), so i think it'd be super interesting to watch the general if you do get upjoin your union-

The papers are released each day in the morning, and describe what happened the previous day. The first day of the cycle is a Wednesday, and the last a Tuesday, but the first newspapers are Thursday's, and the last Wednesday's.
Thursday's papers:Twelve days.is hard at work attackingPeanutsvia advertisement, while the latter shines on Meet the Press.McGriddleskeeps earning money, which is great, but also Iowa is in 12 so like, priorities.

Friday:rich good rich.khanis nailing it on integrity, which is nice. More protests atMothmaevents in Tennessee,Defendergoes double in Iowa, andPeanutsspeech on integrity is not that enthralling but is in fact the opposite.Spire's
Saturday:Someone's been mining the oppo mines today folks!!! TWOAbbottscandals[/b]AND aPeanutsscandal[/b]drops today, and wow, they're all pretty meaty. I have no clue what actually happened but I'm gonna assume that they all did pretty sordid stuff like have orgies or something because it's integrity all the way down folks. Away from that catastrophe,does well with Greta, andTSLcontinues her positive press with a good speech on government spending.Mothmagaffes on corruption, calling it "good", whileSerduchkaslamsMcGriddlesas an extremist on the War on Terror, somehow.Reckoner
Sunday:Well, congrats to, who had so much bad press that nobody bothered to spin it. No congratulations toAbbott, for whom that is not applying.Peanutsgoes in on military intervention on FNS, whileKhangets some heat for his negativity Also,Negariris chilling in Alabama for some reason, and he hatesReckonerright back about the War on Terror. And we also have the second last round of endorsements before Iowa, folks.McGriddles,Sen. Elizabeth Warren;McGriddles,Sen. Lamar Alexander;Khan,Sen. Lindsey Graham;Mothma,Gov. Sam Brownback; andAbbott,Gov. Jerry Brown(!). And lastly, this headline is presented without comment.Negarir
Monday:I can't deal with the front page. Literally it's just,Abbott,Abbott. Sucks to suck.Peanutscontinues battling questions of negativity.NegarirandSerduchkaboth are good on the pundit shows, and now, Republicans have drawn level with Democrats in the generic.Peanutsgets attacked byTSL(how negative!), andNegarircomes under fire from Sec. of State John Fucking Kerry in Arkansas.Spirekeeps on keepin' on in Oklahoma, and Hardball welcomes good performerDefender.Reckoner
Tuesday:God, I mean,apparently has negative momentum. No shit.Peanutsdoes well on FNS as Iowa inches closer, while thoseKhanare still a few days from disappearing.scandalstries his best to talk about education on Maddow, and mostly succeeds, whileMcGriddlestries to push past all other questions and talk about immigration instead on On The Record. He's also in Vermont, where he gets protested; so doesAbbottat a Bush 43 event.Khan
There is one week until Iowa for the Republicans and Democrats.
Wednesday:is rich!!!! Sky is blue!!!!! Water is wet!!!!!!!!!! As if he couldn't handle more bad news,TSLroyally fucks a speech on tax, whilePeanutskeeps on with education.Reckoner, not to be outdone by the latter, tries also to make a great speech, and fails dramaticallyMcGriddleslays out how he's got the most integrity, or something, andNegarirattacksMothmafor being a terrible leader who'll probably get rolled in six months.Abbott

The Week That Was
I literally have no fucking clue what's going to happen. Four in ten voters on the Democratic side are undecided in Iowa. Abbott's got a pretty solid lead, but there's five days for this momentum to play out. Who knows. Far out.

THE FIFTHREPUBLICAN PRIMARYDEBATE
The last debate before Iowa, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, especially the five other people who weren't the winner.did predictably badly, owing to his usually terrible charisma, and landed in the negatives.Abbotttried her best to at least make a dent, but her attack onTSLwas successfully parried, and her issue familiarity once again is a massive weight around her neck. But, that's not to sayDefenderdid great either, because he tried to boast and it just fell flat. Where it didn't fall flat wasDefenderandKhan, who both at least managed to get words in the right order when talking about their own achievements. But, that leaves one, who soared above the rest, and managed to putMothmain his place;Khan. Of course, Iowa has always beenNegarirto lose, despite his bad debate performances. Is it going to matter?Abbott's

The news cycle strength is how good or bad your media was for the week, if you had any media at all. The ads just tell you who's producing what, and what's being targeted in each. Scandals are self-explanatory. The full picture has basically everything that happened, but unformatted, so you can cry while you read it.

IOWA
The caucus began at 7pm sharp. No formal threshold exists to earn delegates in the Republican caucus, but since there are only thirty delegates up for grabs, a candidate must poll at leastto win delegates. The Democratic caucus, as with all caucuses and primaries in the Democratic contest, has a threshold of3.2%~to earn delegates.15%
The caucus has been a tale of opposites, especially what appears to be the relatively settled Republican contest and the up-for-grabs Democratic one. So, let's do the former first.
Spoiler: The Iowa Republican Caucus; Monday, 1st February, 2016
The Democrats had a tight race--it could truly go to anyone. Especially when over 3 in 10 voters are undecided heading to the caucus, if they vote at all.

Headlines
Iowa is done and dusted.andAbbottdominate the headlines massively (12 extent, folks). Nothing else is gonna punch through, but let's assume it does.Serduchkawas a good sport on Fallon and does a thing about education.Negarirdecries government spending on Meet the Press.Mothmamakes bank. And, endorsements:SerduchkatakesAbbott,Sen. Tom CottonhasMcGriddles, andSen. Patrick Leahy's gotSpireon his side.Sen. Harry Reid
The Crystal Ball
Yoooooo
The Republicans
1. Negarir (86 points)
2. Abbott (60 points)
3. Khan (46 points)
4. Defender (40 points)
5. Mothma (32 points)
6. TSL (25 points)
Abbott's closing the gap, and Negarir just needs to rely on that institutional support. Is it going to be enough? I don't know, but if there are warning sighs, it's Khan's superior campaign organization, Abbott's massive ground game, and Negarir's relative fundraising weakness.
The Democrats
1. Spire (79 points)
2. Serduchka (49 points)
3. Reckoner (43 points)
4. Peanuts (35 points)
5. McGriddles (29 points)
Spire still has a massive polling advantage, funds advantage, candidate advantage, and ground game advantage. But, then again. He just lost a winnable caucus. All that could be said is, if Spire falters, this is wide open.
