Abe Lincoln 9 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 With Barack Obama gone many democrats hope to gain this senate seat. Democrats: Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. St. Speaker Michael Madigan Lt. Gov Pat Quinn Attorney General Lisa Madigan Rep. Phil Hare Mayor Richard M. Daley Senate Pres. Emil Jones, Jr. Rev. Jermiah Wright (OFF) St. Senator Rickey R. Hendon Cook County Board President Todd Stroger Any other possible canidates would be welcome. As endorsers I'm having Barack Obama, very powerful momentum and footsoldier wise and Chicago Machine as the big ones. The Chicago Machine will create a little negative momentum (if this is possible if not no momentum) and massive amounts of funds and footsoldiers, this will mainly be between Daley and Stroger as they are two of the people who run the machine. One last thing, how should I model this since there will be no primaries. Should I just give each canidate their own party and then have a short election season or what?

VoteGOP 490 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Err, why not incluide Repubicans? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patine 444 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 A question. Once the primaries are over, is this seat essentially uncontested? Are there no Republicans will even try to run for it, like Mark Kirk? Just a thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kanamit 0 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Uh, you do know that Obama's successor will be chosen by the Illinois Governor, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james_bond72 5 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Uh, you do know that Obama's successor will be chosen by the Illinois Governor, right? Yes! Until 2010, where this seat was on election (special election). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abe Lincoln 9 Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 @ James Bond- exactly @VoteGOP and Patine- Obama when the seat eaisly in the biggest landslide in Illinois senate history and the state is even bluer now then it was then @Johnny08- I'll keep Rev. Wright as off just for a fun fringe canidate & I'll use the other suggestions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny08 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Also, State Senator Kwame Raoul and Dan Seals are supposedly on Blago's short list. I'm sure it's possible to find some decent GOP Candidates to run in this election. There is always Rep. Kirk, former Sen. Fitzgerald, Former Gov. Edgar, Rep. Roskam, former Treasurer Topinka and retiring Rep. LaHood. Obviously it would be an uphill battle for all of them, slightly less so for Edgar, Fitzgerald, and Kirk, but it could certainly be something fun to try. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

POLITICALBOMB 0 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Why were they talking about a 2010 senate scenario when they were still in 2008? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Back in the P4E2008 days of scenario design (I was there - I joined these forums in 2007), the scenario designers were a lot "bolder," for lack of a better word, in predicting whom the candidates would be for upcoming elections much further down the line than most PI scenario designers do. If you dig enough in this old sub-forum, you will find numerous 2012, and even a few 2016 and 2020 scenarios (Presidential) with default candidates (and incumbents) that, from today's knowledge, seem odd, puzzling, bizarre, or, in some cases and with some designers, wistful.
