May 25th

10 days until USVI (Democratic)
167 days until the Presidential Election

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:

Folk's, the Investigator General has released their report on Clinton, and it's critical. Imagine if she was running for president hahaha. Anyway it lets everyone talk about integrity a bit. Also

Negarir

is obviously on top with his WA win, and

Serduchka

gets a few more barbs from

Spire

.

Thursday's papers:

Serduchka

is on Fallon how nice :')

Friday:

Abbott

FOR ONCE does something, going on Colbert and saying he wants a government so small you could cover it with an onion.

Serduchka

returns fire on

Spire

, challenging him to name one celestial body he'd nationalize.

Saturday:

Serduchka

raises some ca$h money, while

Negarir

capitalizes on the whole Clinton thing and puts forward a stunning plan to make America have integrity again. Also he's in New Mexico.

Sunday:

Abbott

is on Fallon talking about how he's gonna shirtfront the illegal Mexicans.

Negarir's

partner (reminder: I named them Cegarar Nephrar?) gets protested.

Monday:

The Dems are one again ahead of the GOP in the generic ballot, and by now the pollsters are probably doing

Serduchka

v.

Negarir

matchups, so whew.

Tuesday:

Abbott

I think has realized he's losing, and once again he's on Fox News Sunday, talking about healthcare and how Obamacare is socialism.

Spire

is second cab off the rank on the whole integrity thing.

Serduchka

should be leading by more, says the pundit class. Sarah Palin's

Abbott

event gets protested, but for once, Margie Abbott's event does not.

Wednesday II:

Negarir

is right up there on Fox News, screaming about (how good) NAFTA (is).

Serduchka

encounters a bit of protesting.

Thursday II:

Abbott

, with the issues, on Meet the Press. What else could you want.

Negarir

gets some good coverage out of a War on Terror event in New Mexico, although, bitch, California is the same day. Priorities.

Friday II:

NEGARIR

IS RICH!!! or something.

Spire

and

Abbott

do the one-two abortion-military punch on Colbert.

Serduchka

actually went to campaign in the Virgin Islands, like a freak.

Saturday II:

The pop artists strike one last time, holding a concert for

Spire

. The all important Democratic Virgin Islands contest awaits.

The Crystal Ball

This thing is still useful.

Republicans

1. Negarir (188 points - polling +120.3, funds +1.1, endorsers +12.4, personal attributes +14.1, campaign attributes +13.6, platform +4.3, ground game +22)
2. Abbott (136 points - polling +70.4, funds +0.6, endorsers +16.6, personal attributes +5.6, campaign attributes +12.5, platform -2.4, ground game +32.5)

Democrats

1. Serduchka (247 points - polling +195, funds +3.5, endorsers +3.4, personal attributes +8, campaign attributes +11.4, platform +9.2, ground game +16.5)
2. Spire (172 points - polling +106.8, funds +3.2, endorsers +7.8, personal attributes +21.4, campaign attributes +11.4, platform -0.5, ground game +21.7)

What makes someone win? What makes someone poll big, and then stay there? This campaign is defined by inertia (and upsettingly so: most of the runs I've done on the side have been photo finish contested conventions on at least one side, so we got way unlucky here), but how's one person Get Ahead And Stay Ahead to start with?

I don't know who's going to win the remaining states as of writing (I can make a guess but surprises could happen), but if I had to say, platform is a big part of it. You can create your candidate but you can't create your electorate. A lack of massive errors is another part, and nobody bar Abbott being too debilitatingly unlikable might be a third. Something to chew on.

Politics happens so much.

40 days until the Republican Convention
47 days until the Democratic Convention
153 days until the Presidential Election

As a warning: there's a bit of lag before the events of Tuesday will set in. Abbott has lost, but he'll have set in motion advertisements beforehand just in case he managed to contest the convention. Those will finish over the next week, and show up in any case. And so it goes.

Wednesday's papers:

Negarir

is the Republican nominee. This is obviously front page news. His sweep of the five states is also there, although, tbh, who cares when it's next to the whole nominee thing.

Thursday:

Shocking stuff as

Spire

Suspension of Campaign VIII

Thursday, June 9th, 2016

First rule of politics: always have the numbers.

Abbott

(R) did not.

Abbott

had a surprisingly strong run, and it wouldn't have been silly to think that he could take the whole thing. But since that initial big month,

Abbott

settled into always coming second, and never quite picking up enough support, and the writing was on the wall. Not even being able to make California matter was the final nail in the coffin. Apart from not having the delegates.

But it was a strong month.

Abbott

won every single early contest: Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. The last was in a nailbiter against

Mothma

, and the Republican nominee,

Negarir

didn't even make double digits. But, that's what happens when six candidates enter. And once two candidates leave, the bigger coalition wins. That coalition was not

Abbott

's.

Abbott

lived like

Reckoner

did, except that the latter never had the advantage of a fractured field to start building on delegates. Once the field narrowed, though,

Abbott

turned out just like

Reckoner

: a factional candidate, polling around 30%, never higher, and sometimes lower. It was not for want of endorsements--and

Abbott

had many--or money--because

Abbott

was loaded--but voters. Some wanted

Abbott

. More didn't.

Negarir

is the Republican nominee. He inherits the Republican machine, and all its excesses. He's down in the polls, but if a conservative vision will visit this country, he's the last shot Republicans have.

Next time:

What on earth is happening in Democrat land?

Suspension of Campaign IX

Friday, June 10th, 2016

And with that, the primaries end.

Spire

(D) ends it.

You probably assumed that

Spire

didn't have the votes to come anywhere near

Serduchka

in California, and you would have been correct.

Spoiler: You, being correct

Spire

looked like he had everything sorted: good debate performances, personable manner, a strong campaign team, the whole works. And yet it never seemed to quite come together. Who knows what did him in. Momentum is difficult to overcome, though, and something about

Serduchka

managed to get the undecideds in her corner.

Spire

never managed that. While voters would abandon their suspended candidates for one of the big two, time and time again

Spire

would see his numbers drop despite it all. Something just didn't get the voters in his corner.

Spire

did well however, and it was certainly possible to conceive him winning a contested convention while

Reckoner

remained in. His numbers, however, just didn't rise to where they needed to be. It would be risky to call

Spire

a factional candidate, but that's how his candidacy behaved: attracting some voters, and never any more.

Spire

was rich, and

Spire

was likable, and

Spire

's campaign was smart, but sometimes, you get screwed over. This appears to be one of those times. In another go, in another circumstance,

Spire

could've done extremely well, but the only reason it seems he lost this time is "because".

Serduchka

is now the Democratic nominee. She leads the polls, but a lot of people have led the polls. She also needs to win, and after two Democratic terms, a third might be a big ask.

Next time:

We march to the conventions.

Tuesday:

Military intervention: who should we bomb, and how much?

And again with the Iraq war!

Negarir

is even more emphatic about how bad it was on Maddow, while

Serduchka's

being asked: why can't he seal the deal against a warthog?

Serduchka

is today in Indiana, and

Negarir

is in Colorado.

Week in Review

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.

Spoiler: News cycle strength

Spoiler: Ads

Spoiler: Scandals

Spoiler: The rest

THE MAP

Next time, on this thing!:
