McCain vs Obama, D&D story.

First McCain:

John McCain.

Level 10 Human Blackguard.
Lawful Evil
Stats: (lost some due to aging)
STR: 12
DEX: 11
Con: 14 (he does jog a lot, I think.)
Int: 12
Wis: 7
Cha: 14 (was higher, around 16, when he was a Paladin in 2000 and 2004)

That is a fallen Paladin.

Here is his story. McCain fought bravely in the Vietnam war. He was taken prisoner and became a politician in the early 1980s. As a Lawful Good Paladin, he was a true Maverick, fighting injustice on both sides. He became a level 13 Paladin by 2000. He attempted to run in the 2000 primary against True Neutral Level 5 Aristocrat, George W. Bush. Bush's Neutrality was not a philosophy. He was just dumb.

However, despite being low level, he was the son of George H.W. Bush, a level 11 Aristocrat. His puppetmasters hired Karl Rove, a level 20 Neutral Evil Gnome Illusionist.

Rove mislead voters in North Carolina about McCain's adopted elf child, saying he didn't know the child's mother. McCain had adopted a child from an elven country. But this "push polling" allowed the Puppetmasters to bring their Drunken Aristocrat into power.

The Paladin would be defeated and return to the senate, where his Lawful Good nature would cause him to oppose the Bush tax cuts because spending was being increased.

He remained Lawful Good and stood up for Neutral Good (leaning toward Law) Level 9 Fighter John Kerry, both who had served in Vietnam. Many lower-level fighters who had not actually been with Kerry lied about his war injuries in order to take Bush back into power, who after the 9/11 attacks, had become Lawful Neutral, and a Level 8 Aristocrat.

Similar low-level fighters of Vietnam would try to call John McCain "songbird McCain."

When McCain won the nomination due to support for moderates although he was slipping toward Lawful Neutral, the Gnome Illusionist Karl Rove told him he could give him the election if he became a Blackguard.

A Blackguard is an anti-Paladin. Still Lawful, but Evil. Therefore, McCain was a Paladin who sold his soul in a last chance to win the election.

Now, Obama.

Obama, right now is a Bard. You could say Cleric, but the Charisma is more for Bards.
Some would call him a Paladin, but that is not quite right. I would call him Neutral Good, not Lawful Good.

Obama is a Level 14 Bard. I do not believe he has hit "middle age" in D&D terms yet, so perhaps in offfice he will gain intelligence and wisdom while losing Str and Dex? And Con, right?

Barack Obama
Level 14 Neutral Good Bard (Half-Elf)
Senator, Illinois
Str: 13 (is in good shape)
Dex: 14 (very good at basketball)
Con: 14 (Probably about the same as McCain.)
Int: 16 (He really is a fucking genius, if you hear him talk.)
Wis: 16 (Also high. Admit it, he was right on Iraq in the first place.)
Cha: 20 (as he has gained levels he has put his level 8 and 12 bonus into Charisma, giving him 20, which is possible at level 14. At level 4 he added one point of intelligence.)

Obama's life is interesting. He was neutral, drifted toward chaos, and then toward good, and has been Neutral Good as a community organizer, a state senator, and a senator.

Human peasants are worried Obama, as a half-elf (half-black) will ignore their problems.


Paladins for Obama. Jessrond, level 70, dethecus.

Some Demographics.

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pages/results/states/US/H/00/epolls.0.html

House of Representatives 2006. 60-38 youth toward Democrat. 12% of the total population. That should go up. The whole "cell phone" polling theory matters now, because Obama and social networking have changed the face of politics.

I've donated $301 to Obama. I donated $201 after McCain's anti-gamer comments and listening to Obama tell parents to raise their kids and not tell the government to do it for them.

My.BarackObama.com is amazing. The right wing loves to complain about Socialists or whatever, but there are also Libertarians and Republicans for Obama.

Four years ago my mom had to give my email to her friend to get me to volunteer for Kerry. Now I can give my address and phone number and RSVP for an Obama event to call voters in Nevada. And it even offers me directions for MaqQuest! Times have changed. It is easier to volunteer. I would have done it a lot more in the past few weeks if I had known I could just find some house in a city nearby and volunteer.

I've donated money instead of volunteering mostly this year, because I figured my money would help more than my time, which for most of the past two years, I've had very little. But for the next couple of weeks, I have plenty. I could even try to get my dad to do it.

Some said this: Howard Dean was the Wright Brothers, and Obama is the moon landing, in terms of internet donors. Obama may have a huge supply of funds, but it's because of millions of small donors like me, not special interests. Picking Biden was a step back, but Biden was picked to fight against the Republican spin machine so Obama could still seem like he was running a clean campaign.

Look at these demographics. Basically, it shows the only Republican group is really the Religious Right.

John McCain picked Sarah Palin to get that group, and to trick gun-rights advocates into picking him over Obama, when neither of them have a good record on gun control.

Obama's state gun control bans can't be viewed from a national level. He's said the second amendment is an indvidual right, but communites can enforce common-sense regulations. So what he did for Chicago would not apply to what he would do as a president.

Obama and McCain are both on the fence on gun control. Obama is honest about being on the fence. He never really flip-flops. McCain is claiming he's against things he's consistently voted for. The NRA sort who claim they need an AK-47 to shoot dangerous animals are insane, but if Obama stopped supporting semi-automatic bans, he'd get some votes.

I didn't know what a semi-automatic is, but apparently it inclueds the Colt-45 and Garand. Those aren't really that dangerous, I think.

This election will go to Obama easily. I predict that Nevada, Florida, and New Mexico will go to him from 2004, and Iowa.

I think that gives him 296 votes. That's all based on messing around with sliders on some site.

Of course the site didn't factor in white men/white women, just men, women, black, white, etc.

Obama should also go hunting with the Democratic governor of Montana.

He was right about "clinging to religion and guns" whether you like it or not.

What was ignored was clining to anti-immigration, anti-trade. That comment also show he believes in trade, and is not a racist protectionist, but may just want to renegotiate NAFTA, which is probably a good idea, since things change pretty often. I hope he uses trade with Cuba as a bargaining chip. Cuba means nothing to us, but trading with us would help them,

We could say: Be a Democracy and we will trade with you.

Sane Libertarians vote Obama. the LP writes in Ron Paul or votes for an AK-47.
