Tywin is actually on the fence.
As is the Prince of Dorneand Lord Tyrell.
Jon supports Rhaella as does Quillion.
Steffon, if he had to choose would be forced to vote for himself, or risk losing quite a bit of reputation. Lord Stark has southern Ambitious, and he would vote for Steffon.
Not good at speeches I'm afraid. Stink at them actually.
[X]Rhaella
"From Dorne to the Wall, we have all come. All of you have answered the call and I thank you for that. (Arstan bows to them all) Westeros stands on the brink of destruction and it is up to us, the lords and ladies of the Seven Kingdoms, to prevent it by choosing who will become our ruler, and it is evident to me that the Princess Rhaella Targaryen is the correct choice.
Lord Baratheon is an able man and one I will proudly call friend, but he is Lord Baratheon, not Lord Targaryen. His claim come from Aegon IV's daughter Princess Rhaelle Targaryen but Rhaella is daughter to Jaehaerys II. The claim of a brother is stronger than his sister.
More than that, Rhaella is what we need in this dark hour. Lord Steffon is brave and skilled, he has won us many a victory and given glory to his father's name but a ruler is not a general. It isn't a sword the realm needs now but a quill. A quill to calm our fears, a quill to feed our people, a quill to guide us to a better future.
We may doubt her qualities for her sex, but Rhaella is no Rhaenyra! This I swear in front of all of you, and in front of the Seven who are One. She has not the madness of Maegor nor the drive of Aegon the IV. She has not nature of Aerion Brightflame, nor the pride of Rhaenyra. All she has is her name and it is up to us, noble lords and ladies of the realm, to protect her right. It is the Targaryen that has brought the Seven Kingdoms together and it is the Targaryen the Gods have set as our rulers.
What care is her sex when she has the name? What care is her sex when the gods have chosen her? What care is her sex when she has wisdom fitted to the crown? What Westeros needs now isn't a strong and stern father. What Westeros needs now is the care of a nurturing mother.
The king dreams and the Hand builds. There is wisdom in those words. For peace and order, let us have Rhaella crowned Queen and Steffon appointed Hand of the Queen. For peace and order, let us have our children wed and take the Targaryen name. For peace and order, let us have Rhaella Queen of the Seven Kingdoms."

Hoster is... Well lets just say that we will be hearing opinions from him, if we fail.
Strong opinions that you may not like.

Problem with proclaiming for Rhaella is that is basically says "I vote for myself."
pretty good speech I few issues, when it comes to who will be hand of the king it has been said that Steffen, while a good warrior is only a decent administer. we are kicking our dad out of the job without even consulting anyone. some thing with wedding Steffens kids is that we are proclaiming a marriage agreement without even asking him if that is ok.

Jon is only the master of laws, not hand of the king.
And Regent, but only out of necessity.

So three neutral, two for Rhaella and two for Steffon.
So is he voting for Rhaella then?
I mean, Steffon is going to do that himself so, that doesn't really mean anything.

... He's really not happy with the whole thing right now.
And he'd probably abstain from voting.
Yeah already sounds like he's gonna cause trouble from what I'm hearing.

Okay that makes it three neutral, two Rhaella, two Steffon and one abstain. With Tywin it could go either way due to him having to choose between two of his friends, lord Tyrell and the Prince of Dorne, I feel that'll be more of a who can get there first. Thankfully we are one hell of a diplomat and Steffon... isn't.
Yeah I'd take out the marriage agreement, that's we set up before announcing it. Because if he says no that makes us look like a damn fool.
The Hand and marriage should be done after the vote for Rhaella wins and I personally don't think he should be Hand honestly. Tywin would fit better while getting Tywin's vote.

Yeah, Tywin as the Hand, our father as master of laws and Steffon as our master of war.

There this is much better. No offers being made that we can't back up yet.

I think appointing Steffon as Hand is necessary, king of a consolation prize. You don't really need a good Hand if the Head is good enough. Rhealla is already a good administrator so Steffon being a decent one is enough. What's more important right now is preventing the regions from revolting, being Hand and having your children married to the Iron Throne isn't exactly the same as being king but frankly, I think nobody would want to be king when you see what regency has done to Jon Arryn. It's a pretty thankless and overrated job.

Steffon being Hand is debatable. I personally don't support it because there are better options and I like to keep them open. The marriage idea is good though but making promises like this at this time isn't a good idea. Steffon isn't changing his vote because if he does he loses reputation.

It seems we have consensus for Rhaella and only one real choice for a speak.
Is there any dissent?

Well my version basically leaves out the marriage and Hand stuff. A small difference but a important one I think.

Oh fuck. OH FUCK. we need to maintain legitmancy for our wife, find a way to seperate the whole vale/crownlands blood rights thing, get the people responsible for ALL of this while making sure that it definetely not our fault and preventing our crazy ass wife from doing her shit...oh wait.
we can be king consort to the queen, giving up our right to rule vale to rule all of westeros and our little brother can be heir to vale once he old enough and gotten enough experience to rule. we return vale to our father.

I think I did a decent enough job for the speech but I'd rather have one made by someone who knows how to write a good speech. It'd be good for us to have more than one speech to vote for.
