I thought it would be fun to have our own little election for President of the United States using forum members as candidates. The rules are simple. No dangling chads, no dirty tricks, and no invoking supernatural powers of any kind. At the end of next week I will declare a winner based on who gets the most votes. The person who gets the second most votes wins the Vice Presidency. Have fun and keep it nice. <br><br><br><br>"It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness."

If we each vote for ourselves, then we'll have an all-around tie and the election would have to be thrown to the House. Hmmmm . . . .<br><br>[color:red]&#63743;</font color=red> [color:orange]&#63743;</font color=orange> [color:yellow]&#63743;</font color=yellow> [color:green]&#63743;</font color=green> [color:blue]&#63743;</font color=blue> [color:purple]&#63743;</font color=purple>

I'm not lurking and that was my vote. Why? Carey has the most informed, reasoned posts that I've ever read.<br><br><br>

A extemporaneous stump speech? OK<br><br>For being listed only above "other" and "none of the above" I know I have a tough row to hoe but I will take that as a challenge as Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights took his last row placing as a challenge.<br><br>My platform as president: I would abdicate presidential responsibility and hand over reigns to Naomi Wolf. Besides being totally hot she is a hottie because she is so smart. Hopefully this move will not be misconstrued as a sexist move. She just happens to be the smartest person I can think of right now. (The fact that she is totally hot has nothing to do with it.)<br>I would also make Noam Chomsky my Secretary of State. Think about it. You know I am right. Secretary of Agriculture I would force ichi to hold still and take office.<br>If I wasn't leaving town at the crack of dawn I would fill out the rest of my administration but I do have 7 days to pander for votes ...<br><br>But let me leave you with Ricky Bobby's famous quote about electioneering and life.<br><br>Shake and Bake!<br><br>

How can this possibly be fair?!? I only got to vote once!<br><br>My fellow MMers, I must be clear. If there is even one vote cast for me, and I do not expect this to happen, it wasn't mine. Real Texans don't vote for themselves, unless their name is Lyndon. If you don't believe me, just ask the candidate that somehow slept his way to the top of the ballot. And I must bow to his considerable abilities, considering this is an intertube community.<br><br><br>(How fun, Michael! Really!)<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>[color:white]xx</font color=white>[color:blue]I always deserve it. Really.</font color=blue><br><br>
