You are a campaign manager. Have been for a while. You do okay, managing Republican congressional campaigns, a governor's campaign once (You lost). You only do okay, though, in ten years you've never really received a big break. You are always managing congressional campaigns for people who don't do much. Sure, it gives you a bigger role, but...you can't help but feel like your skills are going to waste.
And then it happens, you get your break in a big way. You get a phone call. A phone call for a candidate for the President of the United States! This is it! This is your big break! Finally!
Of course, you weren't called in by a big candidate, no Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush for you! No, you are working for a smaller name, but if you play your hand right, you might just pull this off, and be known as the guy who helped someone into the big white house. What a goddamn boost to your credibility that would be! Everyone would be hiring you to run campaigns! Hell, you might even get a spot in the new president's administration!
That is all assuming, however, that you can get win. Even if you can't, should you put in a good enough effort, you should be able to make a decently big impact, and further your career. That's the name of the game, here. You want to make it big.
The person who hired you is, of course, none other than the esteemed…
REPUBLICAN
Fmr. Gov. George Pataki.
Pataki has always been your guy, you campaigned for him when he was governor, and he is the guy who got you into the Republican party in the first damn place. You are almost honored he's called you in, you would be if you didn't know why. He's strapped for cash and desperate. Ah well. Might as well give it your best shot.
Of course, as you slip into your best clothes and start up your car to go and meet up with your brand new employer, you find yourself humming along to the music, largely happy you've finally found something vaguely resembling a break in the endless mire of politics. Of course, when you introduce yourself, you will not hesitate to emphasis your best trait, that you….(pick one)
You will definitely not mention your less….positive qualities. (pick one)
Your car slowly pulls up to the office where you are meeting the candidate. Taking a deep breathe, you kill the engine, step outside, and straighten your tie. This was going to get…..interesting.
Speaking of interesting, welcome to CampaignQuest 2016! Where you take charge of an aspiring presidential Candidate's campaign, and try to navigate them to a position of authority at the convention, or even to some kind of victory. There will be laughter, tears, and tiny, tiny hands. Stay tuned, and don't forgot to vote!

DEMOCRAT
Fmr. Sen. James Webb
A centrist democrat from Virginia, Webb is former secretary of the navy in the Reagan administration, and a single term senator from Virginia. He's got a reputation as a fighter, and not just because of his actions in Vietnam. His centrist political views are increasingly out of step with the democratic party, however.
[] Fmr. Gov. Martin O'Malley
Progressive governor of Maryland, O'Malley has youth on his side and….well….he's attractive and a decent enough speaker. He's also….decently popular in Maryland? To be frank, you can understand why he's desperate enough to go for you. But with that said, it isn't like he is inherently weak. He's got a lot going for him, at least on paper.
[] Fmr. Gov. Michael Dukakis
Being honest, you never expected a phone call from the Duke. He was the first democrat you ever voted for, way back in '82. Ah, the thoughts of those Halcyon days in Massachusetts almost bring a tear to your eye. Still, the Duke is 82! The fact he's running is….probably not super great for his health, but you feel almost obligated to help him.
Fmr. Sen. James Webb

He's got a reputation as a fighter, and not just because of his actions in Vietnam. His centrist political views are increasingly out of step with the democratic party, however.
- Strengths
- Independent appeal: Webb is a moderate with a history of working across the aisle, independant minded moderates and right-leaning democrats (what few there still are) will flock to your banner, if you can maneuver well enough.
- War Hero: While the war hero line of campaigning isn't as popular in the traditionally anti-war Democratic party, it still makes for a potent campaign tool, if used right.
- Weaknesses
- Liberal alienation: Webb might be popular with moderates and independents, but when it comes to liberals? The bread and butter voters of the Democratic, he does much worse. His moderate positions on social issues, right-leaning opinion on gun control, make him anathema to liberals. You will need to control the conversation very carefully to avoid this dragging your campaign down.
- Reganite: Webb has little negative to say about Ronald Reagan. This would make him very popular with Republicans. Unfortunately for you, he's not a Republican. So you have to deal with that.
[] Fmr. Gov. Martin O'Malley
Progressive governor of Maryland, O'Malley has youth on his side and….well….he's attractive and a decent enough speaker. He's also….decently popular in Maryland? To be frank, you can understand why he's desperate enough to go for you. But with that said, it isn't like he is inherently weak. He's got a lot going for him, at least on paper.
- Strengths
- Progressive hunk: As bad as it is to say (Or not) Martin O'Malley looks good. You are already calculating an angle working off of that…
- Lack of skellingtons: Martin might be….a bit dull, at times, but you know what is good about being dull? You usually don't have a big fuck-off controversy in your past.
- Weaknesses
- By the numbers: Martin isn't….exciting. He's a fairly standard progressive candidate, with none of the Charisma that Elizabeth Warren posses, even that no-namer from Vermont, Benny...uh...Bernie Saunders? Has more charisma than he does.
- Unpopular Governor: Martin wasn't exactly...super popular, in Maryland. Still isn't. He's not unpopular but in a state as Solidly democratic as Maryland, the fact his approval rating currently sits at a flat 0% either way isn't exactly…..thrilling.
[] Fmr. Gov. Michael Dukakis
Being honest, you never expected a phone call from the Duke. He was the first democrat you ever voted for, way back in '82. Ah, the thoughts of those Halcyon days in Massachusetts almost bring a tear to your eye. Still, the Duke is 82! The fact he's running is….probably not super great for his health, but you feel almost obligated to help him.
- Strengths
- Immigrant Success Story: Especially in times like this, having a positive immigrant story (From a country white and christian enough people don't get nervous) is a big plus, and the Duke has a big one.
- Successful governor: If nothing else, Duke is popular in Mass. Most democrats also have decently positive things to say about him, especially after that hatchet job of an election in '88
- Weaknesses
- Brutalised Campaigner: You are surprised Dukakis doesn't have lasting nightmares about the 1988 catastrophe, where Bush utterly demolished him. Needless to say, your opponents will use this against you.
- Democratic Dinosaur: Dukakis might be respected, but he's also 82. He's a veritable fossil! Now, this is bad because it means he can't campaign as hard as someone like, say, Clinton, and furthermore, it means that people may think twice about voting him in, because of, y'know, the fact he's old enough to be their great-grandfather.
REPUBLICAN
Fmr. Gov. George Pataki.
Pataki has always been your guy, you campaigned for him when he was governor, and he is the guy who got you into the Republican party in the first damn place. You are almost honored he's called you in, you would be if you didn't know why. He's strapped for cash and desperate. Ah well. Might as well give it your best shot.
- Strengths
- Three terms in a blue state. Sure, NY was redder back when Pataki started winning, but he still won three times. That….has to count for something. His term ended only ten years ago!
- Outsider. Despite three terms as Governor of America's fourth largest state, Pataki never established super-strong connections to the political establishment, this means you could, possibly, attach yourself to this anti-establishment tide that seems to be building up
- Weaknesses
- 1994 Republican. It's no secret that George no longer follows in lock step with the mainstream republican party. He was already on the liberal wing way back in 2002, nevermind now that the Tea party has seized control. This will no doubt be offputting to many potential voters in the primary.
- No support. George might've left office less than ten years ago, but unlike some people, he didn't send those intervening years building up a political base or movement. In some ways, this is almost honorable. In others, it's fucking infuriating. You don't have a political machine to work with at all
Senator Lindsey Graham
You'll be honest, half the time you forget South Carolina is even a state that exists. It's just so…..small! Small and irrelevant. Or so you thought, but now you've got a job from an actual sitting senator to help him win the presidency! An actual real senator! That means you should have plenty of finances and assets, right?
[] Fmr. Gov. Jeb Bush (HARD MODE)
You….you have no idea why Jeb Bush called your office. You thought it was a prank, originally. But no. It is actual, real Jeb Bush. That Jeb Bush. Jeb 'Practically already won' Bush. This is it! This is your big break! You have no idea why he'd bring someone like you on board, but who cares?! This is an easy win! You will be set for life once you win, and with the Bush family backing your candidate, you can't lose. Heh, easy win.

Or so you thought, but now you've got a job from an actual sitting senator to help him win the presidency! An actual real senator! That means you should have plenty of finances and assets, right?
- Strengths
- Experience. Only a total Jackass would call Graham unqualified, so you should be safe from attacks on that front. Furthermore, you can use it as a decent beatstick whenever you run out of other material
- War! What is it good for? Votes, mostly. The Republican party might be leaning non-interventionist at the moment, but if you know the republican party, and you do, they aren't likely to stay that way long, and Graham is one of the most prominent War Hawks in the party. Who better to lead?
- Weaknesses
- Below notice. To say he isn't polling well is an understatement. It might be early days, but Graham isn't even polling above 1% and that is a very bad. Could be worse, the frontrunners are only at 18 and 16%!
- Compromised. Graham has a history of bi-partisanship, which is admirable. To you, at least. To the tea-partiers that make up the base? Not so much. His voting for Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan do not help his case. Hopefully, though, you can focus things away from these issues, and convince him to not fire back.
[] Fmr. Gov. Jeb Bush (HARD MODE)
You….you have no idea why Jeb Bush called your office. You thought it was a prank, originally. But no. It is actual, real Jeb Bush. That Jeb Bush. Jeb 'Practically already won' Bush. This is it! This is your big break! You have no idea why he'd bring someone like you on board, but who cares?! This is an easy win! You will be set for life once you win, and with the Bush family backing your candidate, you can't lose. Heh, easy win.
- Strengths
- Habla Espanol? Jeb speaks spanish. He's got a Mexican wife! You can definitely rely on the Latino vote
- Bush political machine. The Bush family is a fund-raising monster. It would take an idiot to not be able to properly harness it.
- Weaknesses
- Moderation. Jeb is not the most partisan of players, and while you doubt this should be an issue (You can drown your enemies in a sea of cash) it might bite you a bit
- Please clap. Jeb isn't the most charismatic guy, and you've heard things about him not being a super great debater. Still, when the debates swing around, he should get enough good lines for you to cut some ads, and then promptly drown out everyone else. What could possibly go wrong?
Of course, as you slip into your best clothes and start up your car to go and meet up with your brand new employer, you find yourself humming along to the music, largely happy you've finally found something vaguely resembling a break in the endless mire of politics. Of course, when you introduce yourself, you will not hesitate to emphasis your best trait, that you….(pick one)
- [X] Never miss deadlines, ever. It is a habit you started in school, and have never dropped, you aren't late for anything, for any reason. (Less likely to miss things, especially paperwork)
- [] Do assloads of research. You'll put it in nicer terms , when you meet them, but the basic contention you do a load of research is fundamentally true. (+1 to research attribute)
- [] Have a lot of energy. Maybe you drank too much energy drink as a kid, maybe you drink too much energy drink now. Either way, you never lack for energy! (+1 to stamina and campaigning attributes)
- [] Have a real connection to people. You've always had a good feel for them, and in every campaign you've run, you've always had a lot of boots on the ground, working all hours. Usually it tips things in your favour (+ 1 to Ground Troops attribute)
You will definitely not mention your less….positive qualities. (pick one)
- [] You are….very poor with deadlines. It has a nasty effect on your work, and is likely to blame for your relative lack of success until now, fortunately staff can mitigate this somewhat. Somewhat (More likely to miss things, including paperwork)
- [X] Angrish. You don't….deal with problems all that well. When things are good, they are great! When they aren't, you tend to lose your shit, and scream till you go bright red in the face. (-1 Personal Charisma, -1 Team Morale during Crisis)
- [] Low Energy. It's not that you are narcoleptic, or lazy or anything like that! It's just…..eh...you'll just have a quick nap before heading out to meet your new boss…. (-1 Stamina)
- [] Dislike of plebs. You've never gotten on with the common crowd. Never gotten on with people in general. According to your doctor you have 'problems' but you've never listened to that idiot. (-1 Ground Troops, -1 Charisma
Your car slowly pulls up to the office where you are meeting the candidate. Taking a deep breathe, you kill the engine, step outside, and straighten your tie. This was going to get…..interesting.

LAXALT CONSULTING COMPANY.
Your company. You founded it with a loan from a guy you know, and have been able to pay him back, and generally survive. You aren't drowning in cash, or directorships, and you don't have some magical window into the world of investment banking, but eh. You'll live.
PETER LAXALT (You)
Age: 46.
Religion: Very, very lapsed Catholic.
Langauges: English, Basque, Some spanish.
You are Peter Laxalt. Campaign Manger, Cigar smoker, and proud Rockefeller Republican. People tell you that the party has moved on from you, and left you in the dust. Frankly, they are probably fucking right, but you don't care. You aren't a quitter, never have been, never will be, and no campaign is too hopeless for Peter Laxalt! You talk fast, you are loud mouthed, and don't take no for an answer. To some, this is a problem, but to others, it makes you a fucking unstoppable beast. You never quit!
Leadership: 5. You know how to lead in a crisis. You might yell, scream and insult everyone around you, but you lead them through. It's pretty much the only reason you keep any jobs long-term.
Experience: 4. You've been doing this for years. Never on this scale, but still. You know how to manage a campaign.
Charisma: 2. To put it nicely, people don't follow you for your way with words. To put it not nicely, people think you are a raging, chain-smoking asshole. They aren't wrong.
TRAITS
Angrish: You don't know why, but you've always been a really, really angry, aggresive person. Sometimes it works out in your favor, most times it doesn't. They just don't fucking understand, the bastards!
Dilligent: Back when you were a kid, if you ever fucked up. Were late for anything at all, your mother made you do lines, work double shifts on the weekend, and walk to school. After the first few fuck ups, you weren't late ever again.

THE CAMPAIGN.
Your HQ. Your fortress of solitude. Your huge fucking disastertastrophe. You've got no money, no footsoldiers, and no real plan. Ah well. Could be worse.
Command: 2. With your combined experience, you and George have already hammered out something vaguely resembling a proper headquarters. It isn't much, and pales in comparison to the HQs of your chief rivals (Hell, most of your minor rivals as well) but it is something.
Fundraising: 1. You've got a few donors from the good old days. Not many, and they aren't willing to lend much to the campaign until they see that you are actually viable but hey, it's more than if you were bankrupt. So.....that's good.
Strategy: 2. With your meticulous attention to detail, you've managed to hash out a halfway decent strategy going forward. Again, it's not great, but more than nothing.
Research: 2. You have Harry Enten, one of Nate Silver's polling monkeys. He's expensive, but oh so worth it.
Ads: 1. You've got a small team ready to start cranking out low quality advertisments.
Polling: 1. You've got one guy who mostly just collates every public poll he finds. If you want to start doing private polling, you are going to need a shitload more money, and some better pollsters.
Spin: 1. You've got a couple of contacts int he more right-leaning press. While that fucking roach Brownback burned most of your ties to them after your falling out in 2014, a few people still return your calls.
Ground: 2. Groundpounders. You've got some, and you've got some infrastructure to handle them. These people are the lifeblood of your campaign, and already, you've started to organise some teams in up-state New York. How hard could it be to get this off the ground?

[X] Have a real connection to people. You've always had a good feel for them, and in every campaign you've run, you've always had a lot of boots on the ground, working all hours. Usually it tips things in your favour (+ 1 to Ground Troops attribute)
[X] Low Energy. It's not that you are narcoleptic, or lazy or anything like that! It's just…..eh...you'll just have a quick nap before heading out to meet your new boss…. (-1 Stamina)
Pataki was a respectable governor from what I've read.

[X] Never miss deadlines, ever. It is a habit you started in school, and have never dropped, you aren't late for anything, for any reason. (Less likely to miss things, especially paperwork)
[X] Angrish. You don't….deal with problems all that well. When things are good, they are great! When they aren't, you tend to lose your shit, and scream till you go bright red in the face. (-1 Personal Charisma, -1 Team Morale during Crisis)
Gotta admit it, I like O'Malley's style.
As for the attributes, I don't want us to miss things. Ever. We're the observant sort, who spots things, checks things, makes things happen when they need to happen.
I went for angrish basically as I imagine it to be like a head chef in a kitchen.

Really wish Kasich was an option, I know for cons he would have overshadowed by Jeb- hard to raise funds as the major diners in his demo are giving to Jeb

I did think about putting Kasich in, but I wanted to have people who stand no realistic chance of victory.
That way you all have more to strive towards!
