Suggestion for future patch... in The Political Machine 2004 Stardock Forums

I enjoy this game, but there is one glitch that I hope is addressed in a future patch. I find that sometimes, as you hire an operative, they are placed on the map in such a position that they can be difficult to select for movement. This is only when it is in a state where there are multiple items, especially other operatives, where the newly hired operative ends up 'behind' another and you cannot select them, nor rotate the map to be able to see or select them...resulting in a wa

I am really enjoying this game and just played through my first campaign as Obama. My opponent (naturally) was McCain and I was curious if the strategy of putting certain states into play that should be in play this year, would work (i.e. CO, IN, VA, NC, NM etc) to avoid a 'down to one state deciding the election' scenario...which is unlikely to happen again this year. Overall the polling numbers seemed to be pretty realistic...with the exception of W. VA, who favored Obama over
