there would be a certain number of slots in the name of eight announced candidates on each side -- more for front runners, fewer for also-rans. Your choice would have a small influence on ultimate outcome:
- less competition in the first round, for also-rans
- balanced by a tournament points penalty if your candidate withdraws and you have to endorse another
- BUT a bonus if you back an also-ran and he makes it to the Primaries proper.
I don't think this is going to get off the ground anyway so I will stop wasting time on it!
