So many important things I had to do today, and instead I spent the whole day playing this game. But this particular campaign was a blast: Just for fun I created a candidate that I named "Bambi", with high charisma, high comeliness, and very low intelligence and credibility. I don't like the wacky issues in the "fantasy issues" list, (especially when matched with such a serious and realistic candidate ...) so I figured out how to hack the tabl

In my humble opinion: The present "election night" is definately too fast and boring. But I think having animations of commentators and such is getting carried away. My suggestion: Show the complete map -- not the zoom and autoscroll.

I guess that's something -- the program realized I had an image there -- but are there some restrictions besides just "not too big"? I tried using Corel 9 and PhotoPaint 7.

Personally I would have preferred issues that were not quite that odd, I mean like "welcome alien visitors". Surely it wouldn't be tough to come up with some plausible issue
