  1. Good update!

    Other candidates that could be added: For the Dems, Baron Hill (IN), Jason Kander (MO), Rob Hogg (IA). For the Reps, John Fleming (LA) (Vitter looks likely to become Governor).

  3. I really like this update, and currently enjoying playing the game. When can we expect the option to directly fund House/Senate seats to be implemented? That is in part killing the experience; one of my favorite features of Congress 2010 was the ability to send funds directly. This created momentum for said seat. Or is this feature going to be expanded to make fundraising more important? Also, I still like the idea of a primaries features.

  4. Thanks for this – yes, directly funding House or Senate campaigns is on the list. No ETA on it yet, though. It’s going to be implemented a little differently from Congress Forever 2012. The way it is currently envisionsed, the $s will act as magnifiers of the existing Org. Strength (so the higher the existing Org. Strength, the more of an effect the $s have), and you will be able to channel funds to independents as well (such as Reid’s DSCC and Orman in Kansas).
