With Obama’s announcement that he will not accept public financing for the general election, foregoing about $84,000,000 in public funds to not only carry over funds from the primaries but also to raise as much as he would like during the general election, the upcoming version of President Forever 2008 + Primaries will allow for players to accept or decline a federal block grant for the general election.
The next version will also have a different fundraising model, where leading candidates in 2008 typically will raise more money than they were doing in the previous version.
We are close to releasing the next version of President Forever 2008 + Primaries as a public Beta. I anticipate within a week.
What is the current, most up-to-date version?

Thanks – I saw this. But, there seems to be some inconsistency. I played for the first time as Ron Paul, but Carol Wells was still a crusader, Bill Maher was still on for 30 days. According to my reading of the version releases, these are incorrect.
What is your version number (right hand side of start screen)?
v. 1.05.10.7
Hi Matt,
For some reason, you don’t have the most recent 2008 scenario then. We will be releasing the updated 2008 scenario soon as an official release, or you can go here for the Beta http://80soft.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=10125 .
