1. I just played a game where my opponent, Governor Bill Owens of Colorado (who I had created) selected as his running mate (drumroll...) Governor Bill Owens of Colorado! Needless to say, this tricky move did not win him the election; but I do think it would be good to fix it so a candidate cannot chose himself (or herself) as a running mate.
2. This is not really a big deal, but on the screens where you select candidates, I think it would make more sense to alphabatize the candidates by last name rather than first name.
I have a whole mitful of suggestions to improve this outstanding game, but these are two things that should be "easily fixed" by the programmers.
