Okay I finally casted my vote and I had to go with TSQ. Just because in case a coup is ever necessary and for some reason I am the last line of defense for the resistance I am thinking I might actually have a chance at taking her down. Unless she pulls out her +4 vorpal beret of cuteness. Than I become her willing thrall for the next thousand millenia.
 
A vote for Squiggy is a vote for Jenee.

So, are you dropping outta the race, then? :)


BTW...this election is an illustration of why voting third party doesn't work. With far too many candidates that are too close, with no clear choices, the votes for all the "good guys" gets distributed evenly--and the "not so good" candidates get up on top.

Think we should run primaries next time?
 
Especially if I get all Squiggy's votes!

So ..., what do we do? Each forum puts up their own candidate, then run a primary for ...
 
Well, I was thinking have a poll like this--and the two (or three, but only if there's a tie) in the lead are the only options in the General Election.

BUT--I like your idea. We could easily run with the "forum primaries" idea--and then to the "final primaries" here, as I just described. And then the General.

On that note--during the Big Primary, each of the forum candidates has a "campaign thread" of their own, where they make their campaign promises at the start. That way, the voters will know what each one stands for--and the statements won't get lost in the conversations....
 
Guys... guys...

In case you forgot, I'm running this poll. This is not a democracy. The world revolves around me, and this was for my entertainment. :D

If there's a tie, I'll post a poll to break it. If there's not, we have our new president.
 
Like I said...it's what happens when there are too many parties.

So will there be a coalition government, if the winner doesn't get a majority of the votes?
 
I voted for Zee ~ because he promised me I could put my duck house, moat cleaning and 2nd house in the Bahamas on expenses!
And that I would be minister of speeling and. puncuation :)
