Step up to a booth with your new ballot. When I left California they were still using punch cards. Nevada has gone electronic, and Arizona? Arizona uses felt tip pens! The ballot is a large sheet of paper with circles next to the candidates' names and the yes/no's for propositions. You vote by taking a felt tip pen and fi

who expects Cheney to resign soon? Health reason maybe? I mean the GOP can't seriosuly keep him VP.. he can't run for president, so shoudln't they fill it with a candidate? Hopefully, he'll get replaced by McCain, and the curse of the zero will kick in, unless Reagan broke the curse

Let's hope he's color blind and will get rid of the stupid terror alerts. But how else would he teach Bush his colors?

Yeah, but I don't have enough Republicans. Even the Republicans I do have now would be McCain. I was thinking of getting the 4 stooges of 1890s politics (the 4 people who tried to replace John A after he died). One didn't even want the job, one died of a heart attack, one was incompetent, and one lost an election 10 weeks after he was sworn in. And maybe Borden, Bennett, and Meighen. And Turner and Laurier for the Dems. If I knew how to post pictu

I was thinking it would be interesting to do an all-Canadian challenge in The Political Machine (perhaps this weekend). Here are the Canadian candidates that I created, but you’ll probably have to google them for the pictures. Most of them are Dems, though, because most Canadians would be Dems. I tried to make them from states that are either close to where they are from, or where they would easily fit in politically. //-------------------------------

I'd like it for you to be able to choose your opponent's VP in quick play, because sometimes I try to play a game with some historical accuracy (say, Kerry/Edwards vs. Bush/Cheney), but the computer picks a different running mate. It just aint right to see George W. Bush campaing alongside a Canadian Prime Minister who has been dead for over 100 years.

Probably only in Quick Play and Fantasy Play modes, though, because you could do good in campaign mode by forcing them to pick bad running mates, and not in multiplayer for obvious reasons.

Never has a first world country ELECTED as its primary leader, a non-native citizen. I do not believe that, in the interest of being sensitive, the United States should be the first. If Canada or France wants to try it, that is fine. But this land was not intended to be one large social experiment. Actu

First off, I want to say yhat this is an excellent game, although I do have one problem. Whenever I want to run a realistic campaign against the computer, say Kerry/Edwards vs. Bush/Cheney, or Bush/Quayle vs. Dukakis/Bentsen, the computer always picks a different running mate. It really spoils the historical accuracy when George W. Bush picks a Canadian Prime Minister who has been dead for over 100 years as his running mate (Kerry/Edwards vs. Bush/Ma

The thing with Arnold is, if you watch one of his movies and think about him as holding political power at the same time, you get really confused and shocked. Watch him use the guy as a human shield in Totall Recall, then think "economic girly-men." Damn, that makes my brain hurt.

When you use the slashing of tires and other "dirty tricks" as a reason to hate the left, you have to realize that probably over 99% of liberals would not do that, and it is really a case of a few bad apples. Second - The other reason I think it's clear that liberals don't trust the electorate has to do with their tactic
