President Webster pulls in all his personal favors from those who owe him (spend 2 personal IP) and adds 6 votes to the factions 19 votes. The faction casts 25 Yes votes for Texas and the measure passes 43 - 41. Webster is seen running through the halls of Congress yelling Hook 'em Horns! @CF_Kane
Edit -
George B. McClellan is named Secretary of War
John C. Breckenridge is named Special Envoy to Madagascar
This ended the Webster Administration. Webster was a much beloved President, whose accomplishments prior to his presidency may have actually eclipsed those of his time in office. Although he presided over a era of relative peace and good feeling, history would look harshly on Webster’s stance on slavery.
Treasury Phase
Treasury is up to 369.
Election of 1848
William Rufus King will be the nominee for the Conservative Party, and Thaddeus Stevens will again lead the charge for the Liberal Party.
@Panzeh, Stevens is up first to select a running mate.

Stevens’ Running mate will be US Grant
Grant accepts. If @Navaronegun picks one of my guys for his VP I’ll accept. I’m going to be afk until later tonight so I will delegate Stevens and King to place cubes for Grant and whomever King picks.
Of course this is another election that is a formality so maybe we can bypass the cubes.
Is the rest of this game just a formality?
Nope. We have no idea who is going to win.
William Rufus King nominates Millard Fillmore (@Ironsight) as his running mate.
Accepted. Leaving shortly so see my post above on cube placement.
King places in Alabama, Fillmore in NY, Stevens (@Panzeh) in PA and Grant in IL. That has to go that way, initial placements.
King goes North to Tennessee. Fillmore, blocked, goes to NE. @Panzeh is next.

I’m willing to concede the election if you don’t want to play it out.
Congratulations President King and Vice President Fillmore.
@Panzeh, publishing any liberal papers?
Does that mean Bruce and I can get points next turn?

Publish no liberal papers
We don’t know who is going to win. But we’re pretty sure we know who isn’t going to win… :)
