I've been following the development of this game since the beginning, but I've found that the final product is a real letdown. When you create a candidate you can't even define your position on specific issues, you're just created as a standard dem or repub using endorsements to define how lib or cons you are. The map overlays are terrible and not much of a help. Election eve has absolutely no suspense as you are flown around the map by the game camera

Make election night more like election ever in power politics. You had a map of the country and you waited one by one as the states submitted their final tallies. I had some real nailbiters with that game. I hate how political machine zooms all around the map at breakneck speed and just tells you whether the state is red or blue. Follow the power politics example.
How do you choose your position on the issues when you create a candidate? I'm able to create my candidate, but I can't figure out how to choose my stances on the issues.
Is there any way for me to see how the current projected electoral map is going during the course of a campaign? I realize that you can choose electoral votes from the map overlay selection, but it's totally useless as it lists some states that are for me as against me and vice versa.
