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.
Wednesday's and Thursday's papers:Literally splashed across every page is the complete dominance of's election wins (andNegarirtoo, I guess).Serduchkais hot on Colbert, a few endorsements come in (SpireforGov. Eddie Calvo, Gov. Jay Nixon, Mayor Muriel BowserAbbott,,Spire, respectively), it is all very nice. That was Wednesday, anyway: Thursday brings more endorsements (NegarirforSen. Mazie Hirono,AbbottforGovernor Lolo Moliga), and the latter blastsReckonerin Wyoming big time.Spire
Friday:gives such a good speech about how all terrorists are nerds :') andNegarirjust wants to kill 'em with drones instead of soldiers :') anyway. More fun for those two on the cable shows; along withSpireandAbbott, it's all super fun. Even more endorsements down the pipeline:SerduchkaforSen. Jim Risch;AbbottforGov. Doug Ducey;SpireforFmr. Gov. Jeb Bush???;SerduchkaforGov. Kenneth Mapp. Fun stuff!Negarir

The news cycle strength is how good or bad your media was for the week, if you had any media at all, and if the cycle was a week long. 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.

Suspension of Campaign VII
Thursday, March 17th, 2016
Yeah, this was probably coming.(D) has suspended after a consistent yet underwhelming run.Reckoner
The races have coalesced into two two-handers, even if the Democratic race had three people left. That's how it felt, at the very least. WithandSpiredirectly opposed, there might have been room forSerduchkato squeeze through, and yet March 15th laid that to rest. The races reach their most natural state now: two factions of each party, duking it out.Reckoner
was a successful candidate, and if luck had been a bit kinder, may have lived to avoid this day altogether. But luck was not on his side. His campaign was one of consistent missed opportunities and lacking results; it was a candidacy that could've been, but wasn't.Reckonermanaged a heck of a lot of 3rd placed results, a heck of a lot of missed delegates via close calls with the threshold, and an inability to break through the crowd.Reckoner
While other candidates built momentum, thecampaign never really lifted nor deflated. His candidacy was not one to collect late-deciding voters, nor soar on the wings of vanquished competitors. If it were, he would be a favourite to win; alas, luck did not break his way, and instead, his consistent 20% base must find another home. He was not broke--his campaign had over two million left--but, eventually, reality outweighs everything else.Reckoner
A contested convention grows more unlikely, but it all depends on where the votes go. A full 900~ delegates will arrive at the convention pledged to someone other than the two leaders--if the margin is small enough, they will decide the Democratic nominee. The only question about that margin now is: will it?

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.
Wednesday's papers:Splashed across the front covers, you could probably have guessed, are the election results.does better out of it thanSerduchka, andSpireobviously dominates. Brussels is pushed down below the fold, whileNegarircontinues to make cash and have the """"""big mo"""""".Negarir, even as she's endorsed bySerduchka, makes a gaffe on unionism, which is honestly personally mortifying.Sen. Bill Nelson, hilariously, goes forGov. Andrew Cuomo(maybe it's the tone?), and this graphic applies toAbbott:Negarir
Thursday:whoooo could have belieeeved that candidates would talk about terrorism in speeches after brusselllllllls what a shockkkkkkk. That'sandSpiredoing it, by the way.Negarirgets everyone's favourite union-busterAbbottwhile in Wisconsin, andGov. Scott Walkergoes forSpire's jugular in Pennsylvania.Serduchka
Friday:Look you gotta give it to the AI for trying.'s been sitting on thisNegarirad for days, let him air it, even as he goes on Colbert. The endorsement race gets even more nonsensical and lit, withTSLvouching forSen. Chuck Schumer(maybe it's a New York thing).Abbottis #allin forSen. Marco Rubio, andNegarirpersonally betrays me by endorsingGov. Tom Wolf.Spiretries to cover up the lack of endorsements today with a few cute questions on Meet the Press.Serduchka
At this point, the dummy player slot I use to view all this (good ol' Evan McMullin) locked up the nomination of his party. I have decided to select the Vice President (Mindy Finn, who I frustratingly overlooked when I was neutering my stats to zero) as early as possible to avoid shockwaves closer to the general election. The Vice President is also player-controlled (and will therefore do nothing), and the ticket is not on any ballot bar the District of Columbia, nor will it be on any ballot bar DC, so there should be a tiny effect, if any effect at all. Just letting y'all know.Transparency Notice:
Saturday:IT LITERALLY IS A NEW YORK THINGcompletes the set withAbbott.Sen. Kirsten Gillibrandfinally gives a speech on terrorism, and getsSerduchkaon the day of Washington state's primary. That's basically the news.Gov. Jay Inslee
