Reply to FDR! Roosevelt owns me! in Political Machine PolMach Forums

I just beat him today with George Washington (Lincoln as running mate). If you get screwed on random events early, restart because it will make things that much harder. I focused on the big states (California, Florida, Texas, Illinois(Lincoln), Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc.) but not New York (too hard to get). If you can get fully upgraded HQ's in big states, and smaller ones in some smaller states where you have a decent chance of winning (ie the South,

I'd like to see first, Howard Dean, and some more historical candidates, such as Michael Dukakis, Bob Dole, JFK, Dwight Eisenhower, and Dan Quayle (and maybe Adlai Stevenson). Plus, opposing capital punishment has got to win over votes with SOMEBODY. And perhaps a few fun characters, like Homer Simpson, Peter Griffon or Hank Hill. DEFINITELY Howard Dean and John McCain.

Sounds like Canada. We had a thief and liar, a far-right nut job who needs a new haircut and to shut his party up, a bald man with little support, a big mouth, and no chance of winning, and a wacko who wants Quebec to separate. The winner: Our very own lovable thief and liar. I personally liked the bald man

I kicked the living crap out of Taft quite easily (59% and 50 states). He was getting ahead in a lot of states by creating ads, while I was working on making HQs. About halfway through the game, his ads disappear. It turns out he ran out of money. From there on in, it was incredibly easy. I even won his home state. I worked on turning red states blue, national ads, and sending my VP to states that aren't worth the effort of building HQs (New Hamp

I wish I got to vote on Nov. 2nd! Unfortunately, that will never happen for 2 reasons: I'm Canadian and I'm under 21. Though America has every right to control their own interests and look out for themselves, they should not be doing it in a way to damage one of their closest allies and biggest trading partners. For example, our cattle industry has been nearly destroyed due to the refusal to open the border for almost a year now since our f
