Hi there, I'm new here so don't make big deal if what I say is old news.
Things I'd like to see in the new version:
1. VPs, they could do more, perhaps have similar powers to the President, making speeches, fundraising to a lesser level of effetiveness from the President. At the moment all the do is get dropped in California and stay there for 10 weeks.
2. The words "her" and "she" being used for female candidates. I understand that when you only had Hilary it wasn't as much of an issue, but having say, Palin v Clinton you hear things like "Hilary heavily critised his opponent Sarah Palin, rasing doubts about his commitment to Improving the Economy. It just doesn't sound right.
3. Perhaps some way of making a "PoliticalMachine08(insertfeaturehere).xml editor, to allow users to create custom scenarios, TV shows.
4. Some new forums, I can't get enough of them. The Daily News with Stewart Johnson has already been name checked on COLDCUT, how about that? Or separate versions of Hannity&Colmes for each party.
5. Other modern era campaigns, maybe the primaries. How about Obama v Clinton or McCain v Huckabee/Romney anyonw? This would add variety, winning the support of your own party.?
6. European politicians for "Europa." Sarcozy v Brown, Merkel or Berlusconi.
