[Oblige4President] My Personal Endorsement
MrCarey
So there’s this mammal out there who is rather fancy. He’s so fancy that he has a monocle and mustache. This mammal is also rather large. He’s part of one of the greatest political parties here in eRepublik and is the main foundation for the greatest welfare program out there. If you haven’t yet figured out who I’m talking about, or your peripheral vision hasn’t picked it up already, I’m talking about Oblige! This dude is so fancy that he’s even running for President of eAmerica for November. This isn’t the first time he’s running either, and I have a good feeling it won’t be his last. He started his first term as PotUS in December 2011, achieved 100/100 bonuses, was president during the liberation of ONE from the eUS, and was the first president to serve 4 consecutive terms. Then in August he got elected for 2 more terms, becoming the only president to serve 6 terms in office - now he’s going for number 7.
If that right there doesn’t scream “qualified” I’m not sure what will. Even when he wasn’t serving as PotUS, he’s been assisting in pretty much every arm of the government. The man has been a congressman 26 times, and currently has 98K strength which attributed to 3.6 billion damage in the aide of Mexico earlier this month. This whale is all American for sure.
If you haven’t figured it out by now, there’s really no hope for you - but this here is my personal endorsement for Oblige4President. If there’s anyone worth holding office in the coming month, it’s this guy. With all he’s done in the past, he has what it takes to help us through our current state here in the eUS. What state is that? The state of a damaged reserve, the fact that there’s a lack of retention in our country, the fact there’s a lack of new people willing to get involved and help out. Most of the time the ones who do help out end up fading away, which brings us back to the retention issue. What are his plans for this? Beats me. I’m sure he’s got them though, and you’re just going to have to keep an eye out for his campaign articles that explain all this.
We need someone to believe in, and I promise you, Oblige is the one to believe in. If you want things to get done, you go get Oblige. So remember when you’re sitting at that election screen on November 5th, Oblige is the one to believe in, Oblige is the one to trust in.

Proud to have your support!
This is *probably* right.
For all his faults, Oblige is likely the best pick this month. Dave Gulya is great, and his time is coming, but I don't think it's here just yet (if he hangs in there, he'll be CP in 6 to 8 months). SAR97 seems like he could have potential, but he sorely needs more experience, a better understanding of the meta, and a proofreader. Oblige is... Well, Oblige is Oblige. He has faults, but who doesn't? With all due respect to the competition, you're just not quite there yet.
And for what it's worth, I completely understand the people who are campaigning against Oblige. I get it completely. (I mean, even I wonder if we really need Term 7.) But, the reality is: if you really don't want another month of whale, you've got to run a candidate with a really sharp harpoon. I just don't think Dave and SAR have that.
What about WookyJack!?
Made the comment before I saw WookyJack's announcement.
To be brief, he definitely has the potential to be CP at some point if he approaches it seriously, but I don't think a platform centered around "I'mma get rid of Pfeiffer" is going to win him a national election.

Interesting call, making an endorsement before his plans are even laid out.
"...which brings us back to the retention issue. What are his plans for this?"
Clearly the correct answer to retention is to stock your cabinet with veteran players (touted as being primarily ex-CPs, no less!) and keep out fresh blood. The old boys club must be preserved, I suppose.
Fresh blood will be more than welcome. I encourage you to fill out a cabinet app yourself if you're so inclined - http://bit.ly/ObligeCabApp
Incline too high. Make it lower.
meh.
