4th Round of Debates begin!Republican Primary:Espousing plans for a hefty Space Defense budget, [player]offinthecorner[/player] matched [player]scottp[/player] and his promise to uphold the 1st amendment - gaining 6 delegates each. Offinthecorner holds a +3 point lead over [player]morleyjoe[/player], who's rally against Terrorism only netted 4 more delegates. The final debate will be crucial in deciding the GOP nominee.
Democratic Primary: [player]lawz21[/player] laid down a solid Immigration policy and scooped up 6 delegates to sneak +2 points ahead of [player]chutley[/player], who's Family Values campaign tour fell short with only 2 delegates. [player]Denominator[/player] gained momentum by promising a crackdown on Crime and sits in 4th place (-6). Look out for "Dark Horse [player]Danalan[/player]" (-10) who picked up 7 delegates - many expected to back chutley - with his own Small Town campaign tour. Danalan struggled explaining his Education platform earlier in the race, but could surprise with the right momentum.
Independent Primaries:Immigration and Space Defense were also big winners among the Indie candidates, as [player]Dukasaur[/player] visited Mexico and grabbed 10 more delegates to sit +2 ahead of the field. [player]rgreffenius[/player] and [player]J_Indr[/player] debated their plans for a NASA/DOD merger and each gained a debate-high 13 delegates - putting them into the fray at -4 each. Previous leader [player]Nicho[/player] (-2) still managed 6 delegates debuting his stance on Nuclear Weapons, but struggled on rebuttals and is now tied for 2nd with traffic133. Separatist [player]kizkiz[/player] (-4) demanded a dissolution of the republic and gained 9 more delegates to hang in the running.

Its been a long, grueling campaign season and I'd like to thank everyone for sticking with it and being patient as I worked through a larger-than-anticipated group of candidates. It was a close, well-fought race to candidacy and without further ado, I present...
Your candidates for President of the United States of AmericaRepublican Primary:RECOUNT
Democratic Primary: Two leading democrats surged with 11 delegates each, but [player]lawz21[/player] maintained his lead with a +12 point push himself, to win the nomination with 37 total delegates.
Independent Primaries:[player]Traffic133[/player] held off Nicho for the independent nomination and 37 delegates - falling just short of eligibility in this two-party duopoly. Congrats to Traffic133 for coming so close to making this a 3-way race!
UPDATED SCORESHEETThe two Presidential candidates will be contacted privately to choose their running mate and then will begin the bloody battle that is the General Election.

Your candidates for President of the United States of AmericaRepublican Primary: Morely Joe takes over as the Republican candidate, as the first nominee - offinthecorner - declined the nomination due to time and budget constraints. The campaign trail is a vicious process and sometimes, even the winners are losers. Joe has chosen Scott P as his running mate.
Democratic Primary: Two leading democrats surged with 11 delegates each, but [player]lawz21[/player] maintained his lead with a +12 point push himself, to win the nomination with 37 total delegates. Lawz chose Chutely as his running mate.
Independent Primaries:[player]Traffic133[/player] held off Nicho for the independent nomination and 37 delegates - falling just short of eligibility in this two-party duopoly. Congrats to Traffic133 for coming so close to making this a 3-way race!

The Republican candidates had this to say about their candidacy:
morleyjoe morleyjoe praised scottp as "an intellectual leader of the Republican Party" who also has "shown the ability to work with members of both parties to find common ground" on tough issues. "I don't know of anyone who doesn't respect his character and judgment."
scottp Mr. Chairman, delegates and fellow citizens, I am honored by the support of this convention for vice president of the United States. I accept the duty to help lead our nation out of a jobs crisis and back to prosperity, and I know we can do this. I accept the calling of my generation to give our children the America that was given to us, with opportunity for the young and security for the old. And I know that we are ready. Our nominee is sure ready. His whole life—his whole life prepared him for this moment, to meet serious challenges in a serious way, without excuses and idle words. After four years of getting the runaround, America needs a turnaround, and the man for the job is morleyjoe.

Republican candidate morleyjoe and running mate scottp surged to an early lead over the lawz21/chutley ticket, gaining 77 votes during a trip to the heartland. Next the candidates head to New England, where Democrats usually flourish, but can the GOP keep its momentum?

My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President lostatlimbo for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
When our founders boldly declared Conquer Club's independence to the world and our purposes to the Almighty, they knew that Conquer Club, to endure, would have to change. Not change for change's sake, but change to preserve Conquer Club's ideals; life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.
I express my gratitude to all my opponents for being part of this great campaign, and my adulation of my vice-president, scottp for his tireless efforts in making this day a reality.
Let us pledge together to make these next four years the best four years in Conquer Club's history, so that on its 10th birthday Conquer Club will be as young and as vital as when it began, and as bright a beacon of hope for all the world.
