I for one would like to see more of a difference between candidates on the issues. From looking through the core candidate file, I can see that George Bush and John Kerry have "points" on some issues, but other candidates, such as Lyndon Johnson, have no special stance on any issue, making them a "vanilla" candidate. It would also be interesting to see a conservative/liberal scale used....if you come out TOO strongly on Iraq (say 100 points?) you mig

Reply to John McCain for President in 2008! in Politics PolMach Forums

McCain has more loyalty to the Republican party than to jump ship and run against the sitting president. Remember that he was Kerry's first choice as a VP. He's more than welcome to run in 2008. I just wonder what the Dems will have as a battle cry, with no Bush on the ticket.

And who was your candidate to beat Jefferson with? One of those "custom candidates" with all 10's across the board, except for the obligatory 30 in fund raising.

Come on now, Arnold has a comeliness of 6? You telling me that people find him no more visually appealing than the average oldster candidate?

Also, I see the computer making speeches on issues (Chinese Military, Korean Diplomacy, and some other vague ones) that I never have access to. Also talking about attributes, such as experience, charisma, etc. Am I just missing an aspect of this game somehow, or is that not something I can ever address?

Could someone explain exactly how the VP candidate helps? I've heard people mention get one with money, get one with experience. Does the game look at his rating and somehow modify your candidate's rating in that based on him?
